STATEMENT OF FAITH

1. God
We believe in one God, eternally existing as the —Father, Son, and Holy Spirit— (Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14). God is holy, sovereign, and the source of all truth, love, and life (Isa. 6:3; 1 John 4:8; John 14:6).

2. Creation
We believe God created the heavens and the earth, and all that is in them, in six days, by His powerful word, and declared it good (Gen. 1:1-31; Ex. 20:11; Heb. 11:3). Humanity was created in God’s image, male and female, to reflect His glory. (Gen. 1:26-28).

3. The Scriptures
We believe the Bible, is the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God, authoritative for all matters of faith and practice (2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:20-21).

4. The Fall
We believe that through Adam’s disobedience, sin entered the world, corrupting all humanity and creation, rendering all people guilty before God and subject to His just wrath (Rom. 3:23; Rom. 5:12; Gen. 3:1-19).

5. Sin
Sin is a violation of God’s holy law, including but not limited to: idolatry (1 Cor. 10:14), sexual immorality (fornication, adultery, homosexuality, and lust; 1 Cor. 6:9-10; Heb. 13:4; Matt. 5:28), greed (Col. 3:5), drunkenness (Gal. 5:21), slander, malice, and deceit (Col. 3:8-9), envy and pride (Gal. 5:19-21), false teaching (2 Pet. 2:1), and unbelief (Heb. 3:12). Christians are called to repent of these sins and walk in holiness by the Spirit’s power (1 John 1:9; Gal. 5:16).

6. Biblical Marriage
We believe God instituted marriage as a lifelong, exclusive covenant between one man and one woman, reflecting Christ’s relationship with His church (Gen. 2:18-24; Matt. 19:4-6; Eph. 5:22-33).

7. The Gospel
Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, apart from works, granting forgiveness of sins, reconciliation with God, and eternal life (Eph. 2:8-9; Rom. 5:1; John 3:16). All who repent and believe in Christ are born again and sealed by the Holy Spirit (Acts 3:19; John 3:3-5; Eph. 1:13).

8. The Christian Life and God’s Calling
We believe Christians are called to live holy lives, devoted to God, growing in Christlikeness through the transforming power of the Holy Spirit (1 Pet. 1:15-16; Rom. 12:1-2).

9. The Return of Christ and Eternal Destiny
We believe Jesus Christ will return bodily to judge the living and the dead (Acts 1:11; 2 Tim. 4:1). Those who trust in Christ will dwell with God forever in the new heavens and new earth, while those who reject Him will face His judgement (Rev. 21:1-4; Matt. 25:46; Rev. 20:11-15).
