Statement of Faith
“whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
We uphold seven core beliefs as essential to Christianity. These beliefs relate to the Bible, God the Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, humanity, salvation, and the End of Time. For a more detailed outline of what we teach, see our doctrinal statement.
The Bible
We believe that the Bible is the verbally inspired infallible Word of God as originally written. It is the complete revelation of His will for salvation and the only unfailing rule of faith and practice for the Christian life.
God
We believe the one true God exists eternally in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The three are one in essence (having precisely the same nature, attributes, and perfections), distinct in person, and equal in glory (worthy of precisely the same homage, confidence, and obedience).
Jesus Christ
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ; His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit; His virgin birth; His sinless life; His substitutionary death on a cross; His bodily resurrection; His ascension to the right hand of the Father; and His personal, imminent return.
Holy Spirit
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit indwelling all believers and thus enabling and empowering the life and ministry of the believer.
Humanity
We believe that man was created by and for God; that by man’s disobeying God, every person incurred spiritual death, which is separation from God, and physical death as a consequence; and that all people are sinners by nature and practice.
Salvation
We believe the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins and that all who believe in Him are declared righteous because of His sacrificial death and are, therefore, in the right relationship with God.
The End of Time
We believe in the bodily resurrection of everyone who has lived, the everlasting blessedness of those in right relationship with God, and the everlasting punishment of those who have rejected God’s forgiveness in His Son.
