Belief Statement
We believe:
In God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (John 14:16-17; Matthew 28:19).
In God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (John 14:16-17; Matthew 28:19).
Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are inspired by God and without error in the original writings; and that Scripture is the final authority in faith and life (2 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Timothy 3:16-17).
We were created in the image of God, purposefully male and female; we sinned, resulting in both physical and spiritual death - separation from God (Genesis 1:26; Romans 5:12).
Life begins at conception and every person is wonderfully made to bring glory to God (Genesis 1:27, Psalm 139:14, Isaiah 43:7).
In the historically Christian view of marriage and sexual expression. Specifically, marriage is a covenant union between two sexually different persons (male and female) from different families, and that any sexual relations outside of marriage is sin (I Corinthians 6:18-20; 7:2).
All human beings are born in sin, and this sinful nature is the origin of all sinful acts in thought, word and deed (Isaiah 59:2-4; Romans 3:23).
The Lord Jesus Christ sacrificially died in our place to pay the penalty for our sins as Scripture predicted; all who believe in Jesus are forgiven and accepted by God the Father (Romans 5:8-9).
All who receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit and become children of God (John 1:12; Romans 8:9, 13-16).
In the bodily resurrection of Christ, His ascension into Heaven, and His present work as High Priest and Advocate at the right hand of His Father (1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Hebrews 4:14-16).
In the personal return of Jesus Christ to earth (Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).
In the bodily resurrection. Those redeemed by faith in Jesus Christ will spend eternity in fellowship with God the Father. Those who rejected the Lord Jesus will be separated from Him forever (Acts 24:15; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15).
