Statement of Faith
- We believe the
Bible, both Old and New Testaments, to be the only inspired, inerrant and
infallible Word of God, and the final authority for faith and life. (2
Timothy 3:16)
- We believe that
there is one God, eternally existent, in one essence, yet three co-equal
persons, the Trinity: Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. (Ephesians 4:4-6,
Matthew 28:19, John 14:9-11, John 15:26).
- We believe in
the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 16:16, Mark 8:27-29, Luke
9:18-20), His virgin birth (Luke 1:29-35), His sinless life (1 John 3:5),
His miracles (Acts 2:22, John 3:2), His vicarious and atoning death
through His shed blood (Romans 3:25, 1 Tim 2:5-6, 1 Peter 1:18-19), His
bodily resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:3-5), His ascension (Luke 24-50-53,
Acts 1:9-11) and His personal return in power and glory. (Acts 1:11, John
14:2-3).
- We believe in
the bodily resurrection of all men: the saved to eternal life, and the
unsaved to judgment and everlasting punishment. (John 5:28-29, John 5:24)
- We believe that
all men are sinful by nature, and that saving faith is the gift of God
given to man by grace and received only by personal trust in the Lord
Jesus Christ. (Romans 3:22-24)
- We believe that
we should live in such a manner as to not bring reproach upon our Savior
and Lord. (Matthew 5:16, Philippians 1:27)
- We believe it is
our obligation as believers to witness by life and word to the truths of
the Gospel and proclaim these truths to all mankind. (Matthew 28:19-20).
- We believe that
God has called us as His people to glorify Him by our lives and our words.
Because of this goal, we seek to learn to address life's issues from a
Biblical worldview in a manner that glorifies God, within a context of
Christian love. (1 Peter 1:15, Colossians 4:6, James 1:22-25)
- We
believe that we as parents have been given the responsibility by God to
educate our children throughout every aspect of their lives. (Deuteronomy
6:4-9)
