DOCTRINAL STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe that God is one in essence, but that He exists in three distinct and equal persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe that the Bible is the inspired, complete and only Word of God, and that both inspiration and inerrancy extend to every part of the writings as they came from God.

We believe in God as absolute and sole Creator of the universe and that creation was by divine fiat, not by evolutionary process.

We believe that human beings were created by God in His image to enjoy His fellowship; that by their own choice, they decided to rebel against their Creator; that every person since that time has been born with a propensity to sin; that our personal sins cause us to have need of justification and redemption; and that sin is universal and without excuse.

We believe that God, by His sovereign choice and out of love for humanity, sent Christ into the world to save sinners. We believe that we are justified before God simply by placing our personal trust in Christ. We believe that there is no way of salvation other than through Jesus Christ.

We believe that Jesus Christ is both God and man; that His death paid a sufficient price to redeem any person who would believe in Him as personal savior; that He rose from the dead bodily; that He ascended to the right hand of God the Father; and that He will return to the earth bodily and visibly to set up His eternal kingdom.
