Organizational Statement of Faith
We believe in one God, Creator and Lord of the Universe, the Co-eternal Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe that Jesus Christ, God?s Son, was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, lived a
sinless life, died a substitutionary atoning death on the cross, rose bodily from the dead, and ascended to
heaven where, as truly God and truly man, He is the only mediator between God and man.
We believe the Bible is God?s authoritative and inspired Word. It is without error in all its teachings,
including creation, history, its own origins, and salvation. Christians must submit to its divine authority, both
individually and corporately, in all matters of belief and conduct, which is demonstrated by true righteous
living.
We believe that all people are lost sinners and cannot see the Kingdom of God except through the new birth.
Justification is by grace through faith in Christ alone.
We believe in one holy, universal, and apostolic Church. Its calling is to worship God and to witness
concerning its Head, Jesus Christ, preaching the Gospel among all nations and demonstrating its commitment by
compassionate service to the needs of human beings and by promoting righteousness and justice.
We believe in the necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit for the individual?s new birth and growth to
maturity and for the Church?s constant renewal in truth, wisdom, faith, holiness, love, power, and mission.
We believe that Jesus Christ will personally and visibly return in glory to raise the dead and bring salvation
and judgment to completion. God will fully manifest His Kingdom when He establishes a new heaven and new
earth, in which He will be glorified forever and exclude all evil, suffering and death.
