STATEMENT OF FAITH
THE BIBLE
We believe that the Bible is the Word of God; without error as originally written. Its content has been preserved by Him and is the final authority in all matters of doctrine and faith - above all human authority. John 17:17, 2 Tim.3:16, Heb. 4:12, 2 Peter 1:20-21, 2 Peter 3:15-16
GOD
We believe there is no God but one: the infinite Designer, Creator and Sustainer of all existence in this or any universe - from eternity past to eternity future. God’s nature in triune - three perfect and eternal persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit - who are one, in being and in purpose. John 1:1-3, 8:23-24, 10:30, Col. 1:16-19
JESUS
We believe that God, the Son, entered the world as a man to die on the cross on our behalf; a sinless sacrifice in full payment of all our sin - both past and future - satisfying the demand of God’s perfect justice. Jesus rose from the grave; authenticating His divine identity, as our living Prophet, Priest, and King. John 1:1-3,14, Isa. 9:16, Matt. 1:21-23, Heb. 1:1-3, Heb. 4:14-15, Heb. 10:10,14,18
FORGIVENESS
Based upon the penalty paid at the cross, we believe that the forgiveness of sins is granted by grace alone to those who will receive it by faith alone. It must be received as an utterly undeserved gift or it cannot be received at all; because all credit and glory are Christ’s alone. Isa. 1:18, Romans 3:20-28, Romans 4:16,22-25, Romans 6:23
Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
