Statement of Faith

  1. We accept literally the Holy Bible, both Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for salvation, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life. (II Tim. 3:16,17)

  2. We believe in one God; Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19)

  3. We believe that the foundation of our faith is the gospel of Jesus Christ who is God’s one true plan to reconcile rebellious people to himself through faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. (Eph. 2:8,9; John 1:12; Rms. 6:23)

  4. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead; of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord in Heaven; of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting punishment in hell. (I Cor. 15:12-28; II Thess. 1:7-12)

  5. We believe that marriage is a sacred institution created by God and is both a spiritual and physical union of one man and one woman. (Gen. 2:24; Matt. 19:4-6)

  6. We believe in the Sanctity of Life from the moment of conception to the moment of death and all life is designed, held, and ordained by God and He alone determines the number of our days. (Psalm 139:13-16)

  7. We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct genders together reflect the image and nature of God. (Gen. 1:27; Mark 10:6)
