STATEMENT OF FAITH

SCRIPTURES:

We believe the Bible to be the Holy, inerrant, inspired word of God, written by man’s hand. (Timothy 3:16)

​

GOD:

We believe there is only one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Revelation 4:8) We believe in the fully deity and humanity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, and His miracles. He was crucified for the forgiveness of our sins, died, and was buried. On the third day He rose again from the dead and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father. (Matthew 1:18; 1 Cor. 15:3-5; Hebrews 1:3)

​

MAN:

Man was created in the image of God. We believe all men are sinful in nature, which occurred when Adam fell from grace when he and Eve ate from the tree of life.  Adam’s sinful nature was passed down from generation to generation and is evident from our reprobate nature.  All people are in need of the regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit. (Genesis 2:7, 3:6 Titus 3:5-6)

​

SALVATION:

We believe that Jesus is the only way for us to gain salvation. Salvation is a gift of God’s grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ, and cannot be earned through our own merit or works. (Romans 5:1-2; Ephesians 2:8-10; Galatians 3:10-14)

​

SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE:

We believe that God created mankind in His image and that He creates each person immutably male or female. (Genesis 1:26-27) Therefore, all human life is valuable, including pre-born, the aged, physically handicapped, or mentally challenged, from conception to natural death. We are called to treat all mankind with honor, dignity and respect and to protect and defend all human life. (Psalm 139:13-16; Isaiah 49:5; Jeremiah 1:5; Matthew 22:39)

​

MARRIAGE:

We believe marriage is a sacred covenant between one natural born man and one natural woman and God.  When God created man He said that man should not be alone and created a help mate for man.   God created marriage as the basis for the family and the foundation of human society. (Genesis 2:18-24, Malachi 2:14-16) Marriage reflects the union of Christ and His church. (Ephesians 5:23-32) God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman joined in marriage. (Hebrews 13:4)

​

NEW EARTH:

We believe the earth was created just as the Bible says it was, in six consecutive 24-hour days and on the 7th day He rested. That scripture teaches the origin of man and the whole creation spans approximately 4,000 years from creation to Christ. That any claimed evidence cannot be valid if it is contrary to scripture, and the practice of integrating biblical scripture concerning the age of the earth to fit secular age of the earth narrative is firmly rejected. (Genesis 1;1-32, Genesis 2:2,            Genesis 5;3-5) 

 

PRAYER:

We believe that prayer fosters our personal relationship with God our Father.  We are to pray to glorify our Lord and Savior in all that we do and request.  Prayer is essential to discerning His will and His purpose for His ministry. (Matthew 7:7)

 

EVANGELISM:

We believe in the Great Commission. Sharing and proclaiming the message of salvation, which is only possible through grace and faith in Jesus Christ. And helping  

people grow in their faith in Jesus Christ.  (Matthew 28;18-20, 1 Peter 3:15)
