Basic Doctrines
What we believe
- In one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father and His future return in power and glory.
- In the Bible as the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God; the standard by which all doctrine and authority must be tested and approved; the measure of Christian faith and life.
- In man as the image-bearer of God yet fallen in sin and in need of a Savior.
- In salvation through Jesus Christ and regeneration by the Holy Spirit which results in repentance and faith in the believer.
- In justification by faith alone, through grace alone, because of Christ alone, for the glory of God alone.
- In the indwelling of the Holy Spirit which enables the Christian to lead a godly life.
- In a bodily resurrection of life for the saved and a resurrection of damnation for the lost.
- In both the necessity of the visible Church and the invisible spiritual unity of believers in Jesus Christ.
- We acknowledge and profess God’s creation of human beings as male and female and the unchangeable standard of Christian marriage between one man and one woman as the only proper place for sexual intimacy and the basis of the family.
