Statement of Faith

We believe in one God eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, Who is neither confined to the singleness of One nor stretched by the plurality of Three. His eternal will accomplishes His every purpose according to the pleasure of His sovereign counsel.

We believe that God extended His grace out of His own will and infinite mercy, reconciling the lost to Himself through the substitutional death of the Lord Jesus Christ, Who provided the only means for the remission of sin through His shed blood.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is God the Son and that He is perfect and absolute both in His deity and in His humanity. The Lord Jesus Christ is the visible manifestation of the invisible God and, as such, was begotten of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, lived a perfect, sinless life on earth, gave His life on the cross at Calvary, and rose from the dead three days later in order to fulfill the redemptive plan of God His Father as the only means of salvation to sinful man.

We believe that the Holy Spirit convicts the sinner, comforts those in need, empowers the servant, strengthens the weak, enables the called for the edification of the church, cultivates Christian living in the daily walk of the believers’ life, and bears witness to the lordship of Jesus Christ by glorifying Him in the life of the redeemed. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells the believer at the time of divine regeneration, completely sealing the redeemed unto the day of the Lord.

We believe in the existence of a literal Heaven, which is the eternal dwelling for the redeemed, and a literal hell, which is the eternal dwelling for the condemned. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust. The just, those justified by the blood of Jesus Christ, will rise to everlasting life with God; the unjust, those who rejected the atoning sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ and died in their sin, will rise to torment and punishment in hell.

We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and the New Testament are fully and completely inspired by God. They were inscribed in their original state as they were divinely revealed to writers chosen by sovereign preference. The Scriptures are inerrant in their original writings and are whole and complete as currently assembled, conveying the full message of God’s truth to peoples of all beliefs, cultures, languages, and ages.

We believe that the church universal is the inclusive body of the Lord Jesus Christ which provides the occasion for the fellowship of believers in a continuing assembly, the study of the Holy Scriptures in diligence and longing, the communion of the saints in prayer and worship, and the ministry of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ as guided by the Holy Spirit. Regenerate man can and must study the Holy Scriptures in order to be focused in faith, fervent in prayer, and faithful in pilgrimage. Therefore, we commit ourselves to the study of the Word of God as the exclusive resource for faith and godly living so that we might live in His grace, serve Him in love, and honor Him in unreserved obedience.
