Statement of FaithWe believe: That there is One God, eternally existent in Three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; In the divine inspiration of Holy Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, and its entire trustworthiness, inerrancy and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct; In the universal sinfulness and guilt of human nature since the fall, making man subject to God’s wrath and eternal separation from Him; In the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God, as the sole ground for redemption from the guilt, penalty, and power of sin and in the justification of the sinner by the grace of God through faith alone in Christ crucified and risen from the dead; In the illuminating, regenerating, indwelling and sanctifying work of God the Holy Spirit in the believer; In the unity and common priesthood of all true believers, who together form the one universal Church, the Body of which Christ is the Head; In the expectation of the personal, visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ; and In the mandate to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything that is commanded. |
