Statement of Faith:

 

I affirm the historic Christian Faith and proclaim the life-transforming Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

• The one living God, who eternally exists in three Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
• God uniquely revealed and inspired the Bible, so that it alone is God’s Word written, hence the Holy Scriptures are the only inerrant authority for what I believe about God’s moral law, salvation from sin and how we should live.
• I believe in the original sin of Adam and Eve and in our continued sin of failing to love God with our whole heart and also our failure to love our neighbors.  We are slaves to sin and are alienated from God and each other.
• Jesus’ death in our place reconciles us to God.  His atoning sacrifice provided redemption from the power of sin, forgiveness for our guilt, and reconciliation to Himself and others.  We become acceptable to God, or justified, not by works, but by God’s grace alone, through faith in Christ alone.  I believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, and death on the cross to provide for my redemption, His bodily resurrection and ascension into heaven, His present intercession for me with the Father, and His imminent return to earth in power and glory.
• The Holy Spirit draws sinners to repentance, belief in the Gospel and trust in the risen Christ.  The Holy Spirit assures us of salvation, gives us gifts for servanthood and empowers us to meet the needs of others.
