| Declaration of Faith The Holy Scriptures We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God: true, immutable, steadfast, and unchangeable. (2 Timothy 3:16, 17) The Eternal Godhead We believe that God is triune: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; the Three are coexistent, co eternal, and equal in divine perfection. (1 John 5:7) The Fall of Man We believe that man, created in the image of God, by voluntary disobedience fell into the depths of sin and iniquity, bequeathing sin’s nature and consequences to all mankind. (Genesis 1:27 & Romans 5:12) The Plan of Redemption We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, took our place, and with His life’s blood purchased the pardon for all who believe in Him (John 3:16; Titus 2:14) Salvation through Grace We believe that salvation is wholly through grace; that no human righteousness or merit can achieve it. (Ephesians 2:8) Repentance and Acceptance We believe that, upon sincere repentance and whole-hearted acceptance of Christ, we are justified before God through Jesus’ sacrificial death. (Romans 10:6-10; 1 John 1:9) The New Birth We believe that the change that takes place in people at conversion is a very real one; that having received righteousness in Christ and having received of His Spirit, people will have new desires, interests, and pursuits in life. (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20) Daily Christian Life We believe that it is the will of God that those who have been born again grow in sanctification, become partakers of His holiness, and daily grow stronger in the faith, power, prayer, love, and service. (2 Corinthians 7:1) |
