Statement Of Faith
The Bible The Bible,
including both Old and New Testaments as originally given, is
the verbally and plenarily inspired Word of God and is free from
error in the whole and in the part, and is therefore the final
authoritative guide for faith and conduct
The Trinity There is
one God eternally existent in three distinct persons in one
divine essence, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
God the Father God the
Father has revealed Himself as the Creator and preserver of the
universe, to Whom the entire creation and all creatures are
subject.
The Human Race God
created Adam and Eve in His image to live in fellowship with
Him. They fell into sin through the temptation of Satan and
thereby lost fellowship with God. Through their disobedience the
entire human race became totally depraved, that is,
self-centered sinners who oppose God, and who by nature are
unable to trust, fear or love Him. They are subject to the
devil, and are condemned to death under the eternal wrath of
God.
God the Son Jesus
Christ, the Eternal Son, is the image of the invisible God. To
accomplish our redemption, He became fully human, being
conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. Jesus
Christ, who is true God and true man, by His perfect obedience
and substitutionary death on the cross, has purchased our
redemption. He arose from the dead for our justification in the
body in which He was crucified. He ascended into heaven, where
He is now seated at the right hand of God, the Father, as our
interceding High Priest. He will come a second time personally,
bodily, and visibly to gather the believers unto Himself and to
establish His millennial kingdom. He will judge the living and
the dead and make an eternal separation between believers and
unbelievers. His kingdom shall have no end.
God the Holy Spirit The
Holy Spirit is a divine person eternally one with the Father and
with the Son. Through the Word of God He convicts people of sin,
persuades them to confess their sinfulness to God and calls them
to faith through the Gospel. He regenerates, sanctifies, and
preserves believers in the one true faith. He comforts, guides,
equips, directs, and empowers the church to fulfill the great
commission.
