Statement of Faith
-
We believe the Bible is the
inspired Word of God, is reliable, and is the final authority for faith
and practice.
-
We believe in the unity and trinity
of God, eternally existing as three equal persons.
-
We believe in the full deity and
full humanity of Jesus Christ.
-
We believe in the sinfulness of all
persons. One result of sin is shattered relationships with God, others, and
self.
-
We believe that eternal salvation
and restored relationships are possible through faith in Jesus Christ who died
for us, rose from the dead, and is coming again. This salvation is offered to
all people.
-
We believe in the work of the Holy
Spirit in salvation, and in the power and presence of the Holy Spirit in the
life of believers.
-
We believe in the equality and
essential dignity of men and women of all ethnicities, ages, and classes. We
recognize that all persons are made in the image of God and are to reflect
that image in the community of believers, in the home, and in society.
-
We believe that men and women are
to diligently develop and use their God-given gifts for the good of the home,
church and society.
-
We believe in the family, celibate
singleness, and faithful heterosexual marriage as God's design.
