What We Believe
Statement of Faith

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God
revealing the love of God to the world.
l Thessalonians2:13; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; John 3:16

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19; John 10:30; Ephesians 4:4-6.

We believe that People were created for a loving relationship with God and each
other. Since Adam and Eve rebelled against God, they broke the peaceful relationship
between both God and people. All people have subsequently inherited a nature of
rebellion against God's truth and suffer broken relationships with God and each
other. Genesis 1-4:24; Romans 1 :1 8-25; Romans 8:6-7

We believe that all people everywhere will face the judgment of God, that Jesus Christ
is the only way of salvation, and that for the salvation of lost and sinful people,
repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ results in regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
Furthermore we believe that God will reward the righteous with eternal life in heaven,
and that He will banish the unrighteous to everlasting punishment in hell. Luke 24:46-47; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23; 2 Corinthians 5:10-11; Ephesians 1:7 and 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-7.

We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His
atoning death on our behalf through His shed blood on the cross, His bodily
resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in
power and glory. Matthew 1:23; John 1:1-4 and 1:29; Acts 1:11 and 2:22-24: Romans
8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:14 and 
4:15.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, whose indwelling enables the
Christian to live a godly life. John 3:5-8; Acts 1:8 and 4:31; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians
2:14; Galatians 5:16-18; Ephesians 6:12; Colossians 2:6-10.

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved unto the
resurrection of eternal life and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation and eternal
punishment. 1 Corinthrans 15:51-57: Revelation 20:11-15.

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and that all true
believers are members of His body, the church. 1 Corinthians 12:12,27; Ephesians
1:22-23.

We believe that the ministry of evangelism (sharing and proclaiming the message of
salvation only possible by grace through faith in Jesus Christ) and discipleship (helping
followers of Christ grow up into maturity in Christ) is a responsibility of all followers of
Jesus Christ. Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9-15; 1 Peter 3:15.

We believe God's plan for human sexuality is to be expressed only within the context of
marriage, that God created man and woman as unique biological persons made to
complete each other. God instituted monogamous marriage between male and female
as the foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society. For this
reason, we believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one genetic male and one
genetic female. Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5-6; Mark 10:6-9; Romans 1:26-27:
1 Corinthians 6:9.

We believe that we must dedicate ourselves to prayer, to the service of our Lord, to His
authority over our lives, and to the ministry of evangeilsm. Matthew 9:35-38, 22:37-39,
and 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9-15 and 12:20-21; Galatians 6:10; Colossians 2:6-
10; 1 Peter 3:15.

We believe that human life is sacred from conception to its natural end and that we
must have concern for the physical and spiritual needs of our fellowmen. Psalm 139:13;
lsaiah 49:1; Jeremiah 1:5; Matthew 22:37-39: Romans 12:20-21: Galatians 6:10.
