Statement of Faith

•We believe the Bible to be the inspired and authoritative Word of God.

•We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

•We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in his virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, and in His personal return in power and glory.

•We believe humans are made in the image of God and are the supreme object of His creation. We were created to have fellowship with God, but became separated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, we cannot attain the right relationship with God through our own effort. We believe every human life is uniquely created, possesses dignity, and is worthy of value, respect and Christian love and is to be fiercely protected in all its dimensions from conception through natural death.

•We believe the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the only way of salvation through the forgiveness of sin. Salvation occurs when people place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin, Salvation is a gift from God, and it cannot be earned through our own efforts.

•We believe our ultimate purpose while on earth is to fulfill the Great Commission by sharing the Gospel, “making disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
