Our Statement of Faith
We believe in:
- The divine inspiration of the Scripture, and its trustworthiness and truthfulness, and its supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
- One God, the Creator of heaven and earth, eternally exisiting as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- The sovereignty and grace of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in creation, providence, revelation, redemption, and final judgment.
- Jesus Christ the Savior of man, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, very God and very man.
- The creation, test, and fall of man, his total spiritual depravity and inability to attain divine righteousness.
- That Jesus Christ died for our sins, that he was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scripture.
- Christ's substitutionary death as the sole ground for our salvation.
- The ordinance of water baptism of believers.
- The ordinance of the Lord's supper for believers.
- The baptism with the Holy Spirit.
- The operation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
- The eternal life of the believer.
- The one universal Church, the body of Jesus Christ, and her local expressions, local churches.
- The reality and personality of satan.
- The bodily ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ to heaven, His enthronement, and His personal and visible return to His Church. We also embrace both the Apostle's Creed and the Nicene Creed as documents to summarize the orthodoxy of the Christian faith.
