Statement of Faith
- There is only one eternal, sovereign God who exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
- God created the heavens and the earth and declared His creation to be good, including humans, His prized creation created in His image.
- All humans have sinned and live with a sin nature, which separates us from union with God and prevents us from doing good in our own strength.
- Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin and was both fully God and fully human. He lived a sinless life and announced the arrival of God’s Kingdom and all of humanity’s invitation to be part of it. He died on a cross for the sins of the world, was raised from the dead, and lives today.
- The only way to be forgiven of sin and made right before God is to repent of sin and believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior.
- Those who claim Jesus as Lord and Savior by the power of the Holy Spirit will seek to live out the teachings of Jesus, summarized by the command He gave to His disciples as recorded in the Gospel of John: “Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” As followers of Jesus, the one who gave his life away for us, we are commanded to live in sacrificial love towards others.
- Jesus is coming one day to usher in his final and perfect Kingdom on earth. On that day, he will judge the living and the dead. All who believe and obey Jesus will be united forever with Him in the new heaven and new earth. Those who reject Jesus as Savior will experience eternal separation from God and irreversible punishment for their sin.
- The Bible is the written Word of God and is therefore our ultimate and final authority for all matters of faith and practice.
