We believe the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments were alone written through
divine inspiration, and are therefore trustworthy, authoritative, and an all-sufficient
basis for doctrine and right living.
|
|
|
|
|
We believe in one God, creator and sustainer of the universe, eternally existing
in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
|
|
|
|
|
We believe in the incarnation of the eternal Son as Jesus Christ, who is both fully
God and fully human. Jesus was virgin born, lived a sinless life, worked miracles,
fulfilled Old Testament prophecies of the coming messiah, was rejected, crucified,
buried, rose from the dead, and ascended to heaven.
|
|
|
|
|
We believe the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ is the sole basis for sinful man’s
personal and permanent relationship with God, confirmed by the historic fact of the
resurrection of Christ from the dead, and received by faith alone. Repent, believe
in Jesus Christ, and be baptized in His name are the universal call of the Gospel.
|
|
|
|
|
We believe in the presence and power of the Holy Spirit in the work of convicting
people of their sin, regeneration, and indwelling and enabling God’s people to live
in obedience to Him.
|
|
|
|
|
We believe the church consists of all people who have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit,
and finds expression in local churches under the direction of Jesus as Lord and Head of His
body. The church is called to be a worshipping, witnessing and reconciling community
in the world.
|
|
|
|
|
We believe that history will be consummated in the visible return of Jesus Christ, when He
will raise the dead, judge all people according to their deeds, and establish His glorious
kingdom. The wicked will be separated from God’s presence, but the righteous will live with
Him forever.
