Statement
of Belief |
1 We believe that there
is one God in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and
God the Holy Spirit.
2 We believe that God created the heavens and the earth
and all other things in the universe: that He is the Sovereign
Ruler of all things; that the Sovereign God reveals Himself;
we believe in his redemptive work and in his final judgment.
3 We believe that the Bible is inspired by God; that it
is the truth; that it is the final authority in faith and practice.
4 We believe that since the fall of Adam, all people have
been under the bondage and power of sin and are deserving of
the judgment and wrath of God.
5 We believe that Jesus Christ, who is God and man, through
his atoning, sacrificial death on the cross for our sins and
his resurrection, is the only way of salvation; he alone saves
us from sin and judgment and purifies us from the contamination
of the world caused by sin.
6 We believe that Jesus Christ rose from the dead, ascended
into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father.
7 We believe that regeneration is by the work of the Holy
Spirit, and that it is necessary if one is to enter the kingdom
of God. We believe that God sent his Holy Spirit to empower
his church to witness to Jesus to the ends of the earth.
8 We believe that we are made righteous by grace alone,
through faith alone.
9 We believe that the Holy Spirit works in the heart of
every believer to lead him.
10 We believe that the church is the body of Christ and
that all Christians are members of it.
11 We believe that Jesus will come again in glory to judge
the living and the dead.
