2 Corinthians 5:21

Core Beliefs

These Articles of Faith do not exhaust the extent of our faith. The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God, serves as the final authority concerning truth, morality, and proper conduct. It is the sole and final source of all we believe. For purposes of Church doctrine, practice, policy, and discipline, our Elder Board is this Church’s final interpretive authority on the Bible’s meaning and application.

IN-DEPTH STATEMENT OF FAITH

  • We believe in one God eternally existing as one essence and three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit; each being fully God, yet being one God.

  • We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. It is true, authoritative, and without error.

  • We believe that God created the world from nothing and governs all things at all times in all places.

  • We believe that all human beings are created in the image of God and possess intrinsic dignity and value.

  • We believe that sin has fractured all things, leaving the world in desperate need of salvation. Every person(Christ excluded) is a sinner by nature and action.

  • We believe that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

  • We believe that the Church is the body of Christ sent into the world to shine forth the glory of God.

  • We believe that Jesus Christ is returning to the world in the future to judge the living and the dead.
