What We Believe...
Our Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible and authoritative Word of God inerrant in its original documents.
(2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20-21, John 20:31, Psalms 119:1-176, Matthew 5:18)
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in the three persons: The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
(1 Corinthians 8:6, 2 Corinthians 3:17, 2 Corinthians 13:14, Colossians 2:9, Isaiah 9:6, Luke 3:21-22, 1 Peter 1:1-2)
We believe in the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood and His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His tangible return in power and glory.
(Isaiah 7:14, Luke 1:35, Matthew 1:20, John 1:1,14, John 5:8, John 8:58, Exodus 3:14, John 10:30-33, John 20:28, Colossians 2:9, Philippians 2:5-8 Hebrews 1:8, 1 Peter 2:22, 2 Corinthians 5:21, 1 John 3:5, Hebrews 9:14, 1 Peter 1:19, 1 John 2:2, Luke 24:6-7, Mark 16:6, 1 Peter 1:3, John 11:25-26, Acts 1:9-11, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, Hebrews 9:28)
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential.
(John 3:3, Ephesians 2:1, Colossians 2:13, John 1:12-13, Titus 3:5, Acts 2:38-39)
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life.
(Acts 2:38-39, 1 Corinthians 3:16, 1 Corinthians 6:19, Ezekiel 36:27, 2 Timothy 1:14, Ephesians 5:18, Romans 8:11, Galatians 5:18, Zechariah 4:6)
We believe in the resurrection of the body of the saved and lost — they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
(Dan 12:2, John 5:28-29, Revelation 20:12-13, 1 Corinthians 15:52, 1 Thessalonians 4:16, Acts 24:15, 1 Corinthians 15:35-44)
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Christ.
(1 Corinthians 1:10, Ephesians 4:11-13, Colossians 3:13-14, John 17:23, Psalms 133:1)
Foundational Family Values
We believe that God has established marriage as a lifelong, exclusive covenant relationship between one biological man and one biological woman and that all intimate sexual activity outside the marriage relationship, whether heterosexual, homosexual, or otherwise, is immoral and therefore sin (Genesis. 2:24-25, Exodus 20:14, 17, 22:19; Leviticus 18:22-23, 20:13, 15-16; Matthew 19:4-6, 9; Romans 1:18-31; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, 15-20; 1 Timothy 1:8-11; Jude 7).
We believe that God created the human race male and female and that all conduct intending to adopt a gender other than one’s birth gender is immoral and, therefore, sin (Genesis 1:27; Deuteronomy 22:5).
We believe the Bible teaches that God is the ultimate source and sustainer of all human life (Genesis 1:27; Psalm 31:15; Isaiah 45:12; 1 Timothy 6:13); and that human life begins at the moment of conception (Psalm 51:5, 58:3; Jeremiah 1:5). As a result, all human life is to be respected and valued as God’s sacred work and should be preserved and protected in a manner consistent with biblical ethics. Moreover, we encourage the body of Christ to speak out on behalf of those whose lives are threatened and who are unable to speak out for themselves.
