LEAD STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God.  Its 66 books are God-breathed, in their original autograph and without error, and entirely reliable and truthful in all areas including theology, geography and history.  It stands as our central authority in all areas of life. (2 Timothy 3:16, Matthew 5:18)

God has existed from all eternity in Three Persons.  God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.  God is personal and self-existent. (John 14:10,26, 15:26)

Jesus Christ was God come in human flesh being fully God and fully man.  He lived a sinless life, died for the sins of humankind, was resurrected bodily on the third day, ascended into heaven, and is coming again as King and Judge.  He is the only provision God has given for people to be reconciled to Himself.  Christ's life on earth also is our model and example for the Christian life.  (John 14:26, Acts 4:12)

The Holy Spirit is God and indwells us at the moment we place our faith in Christ.  He empowers us to live an effective Christian life and gifts each believer with unique, spiritual abilities to serve the church and the world.

Salvation is reconciliation with God through Christ's atoning work and is a free gift in response to each individual's faith.  This right standing before God is received through Christ's substitutionary death soley and cannot be earned, in whole or in part. (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 8:38-39, Ephesians 1:14, 2:4)

Human beings are created in God's image, unique amongst His creation.  Through free will we have all turned against God, resulting in our spiritual death (alienation from God) and we are standing under His righteous judgement.   Only through receiving Jesus' provision on the cross are we restored to fellowship with God. (Romans 3:23, 6:23, 4:25, John 1:12, Ephesians 2:8-9)

Upon receiving Christ's gift, believers receive a new nature, the basis for a transformation process.  We are also God's chosen instruments, by our lives and words, to witness to the Gospel's truths.  Our purpose is to spread this message in our daily lives and throughout the world.

We believe in the Church, not an institution, but composed of all that have placed their faith in Christ throughout history.

We believe Satan is God's and God's followers' personal spiritual adversary.  He actively opposes the work of the Church.  We take a serious yet balanced view of his personal spiritual opposition.  Satan is doomed to final defeat and judgement at Christ's return. (Ephesians 6:12, Revelation 20)

We believe in the personal, bodily return of Christ for His redeemed ones and the completion of His plan to establish His Kingdom.  We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, the saved to eternal life; the unsaved to judgement and everlasting punishment.

We believe that in His Word, God gives parents the responsibility and authority to educate their children in a godly manner in all areas of life "to train them up in the way thay they should go!"
