God's
Word
We believe in the full Divine inspiration and inerrancy
of every word of the original manuscripts of the Old
and New Testaments; that revelation ceased with the
completion of the New Testament; and that the Bible
is our sole authority for faith and practice.
God's
Person
We believe in one God in three Persons (Father/Son/Holy
Spirit); that God is a Spirit Who is personal, eternal,
infinite, all-powerful, all-knowing, all-wise, unchanging,
holy, and loving; that He is Creator and ruler of all
things and the sole proper object of man's worship;
and that He judged the world in the past by the flood
and will judge the world by fire in the future Day of
the Lord.
God's
Son
We believe that Jesus is fully God and fully man; that
He eternally pre-existed with the Father, was born of
a virgin, lived a sinless life, worked miracles, died
on the cross and shed His blood as an atonement for
man's sin, rose bodily from the dead, and ascended to
Heaven; that He is exalted as Lord of the universe,
the head of the church, and the believer's High Priest;
and that He will come again to raise the saved to everlasting
life and the lost to everlasting punishment, judge all
people, rule over all, and establish a perfect new heaven
and earth.
God's
Grace
We believe that all men inherit a sinful nature from
the fall of Adam, are totally depraved and separated
from God by sin, and are unable to earn salvation; that
salvation from sin is by grace alone through faith alone
in Christ alone; that salvation by grace brings justification,
regeneration, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, forgiveness
of sins, deliverance from eternal condemnation, entrance
into God's family, eternal life in God's kingdom, and
future resurrection; and that saving grace brings repentance
and leads to a new life manifested in following Christ
and submission to God's moral law.
