Statement of faith

  • We believe that the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments are alone the perfect, inerrant, inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God, and are the final and supreme authority in faith and practice. 
    • Key Verse: 2 Timothy 3:16-17 “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God[a] may be complete, equipped for every good work.”
  • We believe that there is only one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who is infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in His being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, love, and truth; He alone is sovereign over all things.
    • Key Verse: 2 Corinthians 13:14 “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.”
  • We believe that God created all things out of nothing, for His own glory and good pleasure, and for the display of His eternal power, wisdom, love and goodness; having created all things, God created man in His image, male and female, perfect, sinless, and immortal, and He charged mankind with the governance of the created world, to cultivate it for His glory.
    • Key Verse: Hebrews 11:3 “By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.”
  • We believe in the historicity of Adam and Eve, our first parents; we believe that though they were created sinless, they did not remain in that perfect state, but willfully and consciously disobeyed their Creator’s command.  Consequently, sin entered into the world and death, through sin, spread to all men.  The guilt of Adam’s sin and fallen nature are transferred to all mankind.
    • Key Verse: Romans 5:12 “Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned.”
  • We believe in the deity and humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth during the reign of Caesar Augustus, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and sin-atoning death on a cross by the shedding of His blood, in His bodily resurrection from the dead, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
    • Key Verse: 1 Corinthians 1:18 “For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” 
  • We believe that, for the salvation of lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary; salvation is a gift of God, received by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, for the glory of God alone.
    • Key Verse: Romans 9:16 “So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy.”
  • We believe that faith without works is dead.
    • Key Verse: James 2:26 “For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.”
  • We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling Christians are enabled to live godly lives.
    • Key Verse: 1 Corinthians 12:4 “Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit.”
  • We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost – the saved to the resurrection of life, and the lost to the resurrection of damnation.
    • Key Verse: John 5:28-29 “Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.”
  • We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
    • Key Verse: Ephesians 4:1-3 “I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
  • We believe that when God created humanity, He ordained marriage to be a unique covenantal bond between one man and one woman. Therefore, rejection of one’s biological sex is inconsistent with one’s created nature in the image of God.
    • Key Verse: Romans 1:26-27 “For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.”
