Statement of Faith

1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21).

2. We believe there is only one God, eternally existent in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1; Matthew 28:19; John 10:30).

3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ (John 6:35; John 14:6-11), in His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:35), His sinless life (1 John 3:5; 1 Peter 2:22), and in His miracles (John 2:11; Acts 19:11-12). We believe in Christ’s vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, and His ascension to the right hand of God the Father (1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 2:9; John 11:25; Mark 16:19), and in His personal return in power and glory (Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11).

4. We believe that, due to humanity’s innate sinfulness, there is a necessity for rebirth through the Holy Spirit for the redemption of lost and sinful individuals. Salvation is attained solely through faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, independent of good works, justified by faith in His sacrifice, and is a gift of God's grace through faith alone. (John 3:16–19; John 5:24; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:8–9; Ephesians 2:8–10;Titus 3:5).

5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, whose presence within Christians empowers them to lead a godly life and to perform good works. (Acts 1:8; Ephesians 2:10; Ephesians 3:16-17).

6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: the saved to eternal life and the lost to eternal condemnation, as affirmed by John 5:28–29. This belief encompasses the continuation of existence after death, with the saved experiencing resurrection to life and those without Christ facing resurrection to damnation.

7. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 12:12–13; Galatians 3:26–28).

8. We believe God concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men and women, and that He hears and answers prayer. (Psalm 145:18-19; Jeremiah 29:12; Philippians 4:6-7; Galatians 3:28).

9. We believe that all people are created in God’s image and are of value regardless of race, creed or religion. (Genesis 1:26-27; Acts 10:34-35).

10. We believe marriage, as established by God, is the exclusive and lifelong union between one biological man and one biological woman, designed to reflect the image and nature of God. We believe that intimate sexual activities should only occur within this marital framework. We affirm that God created individuals as male or female, recognizing that these are the only two distinct genders as fundamental to human identity (Genesis 1:27-28; Deuteronomy 22:5). While acknowledging the U.S. Government's definition of union through case law and legislation, we uphold our definition of marriage to the extent that it aligns with our statement of faith and Scripture. (Matthew 19:4-6; 1 Corinthians 6:18-20; Ephesians 5:31; Hebrews 13:4).

11. We believe that all human life is sacred and created by God, in His image. Human life is of inestimable worth, in all of its dimensions, including all pre-born babies, the aged, the physically or mentally challenged and every other stage or condition, from conception through natural death. We are therefore called to defend, protect, and value all human life. (Genesis 1:26-27, Proverbs 31:8-9, Jeremiah 1:5).
