What We Believe
If you’re
familiar with the Apostle’s Creed, you’ll recognize our statement
of beliefs.
We believe in: The Bible as uniquely inspired by God, without error, and the
final authority in all matters of faith and conduct. One God, eternally existing
in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ, His Deity, virgin
birth, sinless life, vicarious death, burial and bodily resurrection, His
ascension to the right hand of the Father and His personal return to consummate
history. The sinfulness of mankind and salvation only by grace through faith
in the shed blood of Jesus Christ. The present ministry of the Holy Spirit
by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. The resurrection
of the dead; believers to everlasting life and unbelievers to everlasting
judgment. The church as the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the Head.
We believe the church is comprised of all who have trusted by faith in the
finished work of Jesus Christ.
Here’s how
we put that into practice: In essential beliefs, we have unity. In non-essential
beliefs, we have liberty. In all our beliefs, we show charity.
