What We Believe

"but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect," 

1 Peter 3:15 ESV

Statement of Faith

Statement of Faith

 

  • We believe that the Bible is God’s written revelation to man, and  thus the sixty-six books of the Bible are verbally inspired in every  word, absolutely inerrant in the original documents, infallible, and  God-breathed (2 Timothy 3:16; 1 Corinthians 2:7-14; 2 Peter 1:20-21).


  • We  believe that there is but one living and true God (Deuteronomy 6:4;  Isaiah 45:5-7; 1 Corinthians 8:4), an infinite, all-knowing Spirit (John  4:24), perfect in all His attributes, one in essence, eternally  existing in three Persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19; 2  Corinthians 13:14)—each equally deserving worship and obedience.


  • We  believe that our Lord Jesus Christ was virgin born (Isaiah 7:14;  Matthew 1:23, 25; Luke 1:26-35); that He was God incarnate (John  1:1,14); and that the purpose of the incarnation was to reveal God,  redeem men, and rule over God’s kingdom (Psalm 2:7-9; Isaiah 9:6; John  1:29; Philippians 2:9-11; Hebrews 7:25- 26; 1 Peter 1:18-19) and that  our Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through the shedding  of His blood and sacrificial death on the cross and that His death was  voluntary, vicarious, substitutionary, propitiatory, and redemptive  (John 10:15; Romans 3:24-25; 5:8; 1 Peter 2:24).


  • We believe that  the Holy Spirit is a divine person, eternal, underived, possessing all  the attributes of personality and deity and that it is the work of the  Holy Spirit to execute the divine will with relation to all mankind  which includes convicting the world of sin, of righteousness, and of  judgment; glorifying the Lord Jesus Christ; and transforming believers  into the image of Christ (John 16:7-9; Acts 1:5; 2:4; Romans 8:29; 2  Corinthians 3:18; Ephesians 2:22).


  • We believe that man was  directly and immediately created by God in His image and likeness and  that because all men were in Adam, a nature corrupted by Adam’s sin has  been transmitted to all men of all ages, Jesus Christ being the only  exception. All men are thus sinners by nature, by choice, and by divine  declaration (Psalm 14:1-3; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3:9-18, 23; 5:10-12).


  • We  believe that salvation is wholly of God by grace on the basis of the  redemption of Jesus Christ, the merit of His shed blood, and not on the  basis of human merit or works (John 1:12; Ephesians 1:7; 2:8-10; 1 Peter  1:18-19) and that on the basis of the efficacy of the death of our Lord  Jesus Christ, the believing sinner is freed from the punishment, the  penalty, the power, and one day the very presence of sin; and that he is  declared righteous, given eternal life, and adopted into the family of  God (Romans 3:25; 5:8-9; 2 Corinthians 5:14-15; 1 Peter 2:24; 3:18).


  • We  believe that all who place their faith in Jesus Christ are immediately  placed by the Holy Spirit into one united spiritual body, the church (1  Corinthians 12:12-13), the bride of Christ (2 Corinthians 11:2;  Ephesians 5:23-32; Revelation 19:7-8), of which Christ is the head  (Ephesians 1:22; 4:15; Colossians 1:18) and that the purpose of the  church is to glorify God (Ephesians 3:21) by building itself up in the  faith (Ephesians 4:13-16), by instruction of the Word (2 Timothy 2:2, 15; 3:16-17), by fellowship (Acts 2:47; 1 John 1:3), by keeping the  ordinances (Luke 22:19; Acts 2:38-42), and by advancing and  communicating the gospel to the entire world (Matthew 28:19; Acts 1:8;  2:42).
