Statement of Faith
The sole basis of our belief is the Bible, which is uniquely
God-inspired, without error, and the final authority on all matters on
which it bears. As the Bible teaches, there is one God, eternally existing
in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – each possessing
all the attributes of Deity.
God created humans to have fellowship with Him, but they defied God by
sinfully going their own way. As a result, we need God’s saving
grace to end our alienation from Him. Salvation comes only through God’s
saving grace – not human effort – and must be received personally
by repentance and faith.
Jesus Christ, second Person of the Trinity, lived a sinless life on earth
and voluntarily paid for our sin by dying on the cross as our substitute.
This accomplishes salvation for all who receive grace by trusting in Him
alone. He rose from the dead and is the only mediator between us and God.
He will return to earth to consummate history.
The Holy Spirit draws sinners to Christ and equips believers for personal
growth and service to the church. The church’s role is to glorify
God and serve those in need. At the end, everyone will experience bodily
resurrection and the judgment. Those forgiven through Christ will enjoy
eternal fellowship with God.
