Our Summary Statement of Faith

About the Scriptures

We believe that the Bible is God’s Word, that it was written by men divinely and uniquely inspired, that it is absolutely trustworthy and the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

About God

We believe in God the Father, Creator of Heaven and Earth, perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, and measureless in power. We rejoice that He concerns himself mercifully in the affairs of men. He hears and answers prayer. He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.

About Jesus Christ

We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten son, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin named Mary, sinless in His life, making atonement for the sins of the world by His death on the cross. We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension into Heaven, His personal visible return to the world according to His promise, His priestly intercession for His people.

About the Holy Spirit

We believe in the Holy Spirit who came forth from God to convince the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment and to regenerate, sanctify and comfort those who believe in Jesus Christ.

About Salvation

We believe that all men need a savior from sin and that “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16). We believe, therefore, that those who accept Christ as their Lord and Savior will rejoice forever in God’s presence and those who refuse to accept Christ as their Lord and Savior shall be forever separated from God.

About the Church

We believe in the Church – a living, spiritual body of which Christ is the Head and of which all regenerated people are members. We believe that a visible church is a company of believers in Jesus Christ, buried with Him in baptism and associated for worship, work and fellowship. We believe that to those visible churches were committed, for observance “till He come,” the ordinance of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and that God has laid upon these churches the task of persuading a lost world to accept Jesus Christ as Savior and to enthrone Him as Lord and Master.

About the Christian Life

We believe that human betterment and social improvement are essential products of the Gospel, and that every human being is responsible to God alone in all matters of faith.
