Statement of Faith

I

We believe in the inspiration of scripture, that it is inerrant in the original writings, infallible, and that it is sufficient for every area of life.

II

We believe in the triune God who is the creator of the heavens and the earth. One God in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

III

We believe that Jesus Christ - the second member of the trinity - is fully God, fully man, and has always existed with the Father.

IV

We believe that due to Adam's fall, all of humanity has inherited a sin nature and that apart from Christ, the sinner will go to hell and ultimately the lake of fire and experience conscious eternal torment.

V

We believe that Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again on the third day. That salvation is found in Him alone and that there are not multiple ways to be saved.

VI

We believe that salvation is by grace through faith and can not be earned by any effort or work on the part of mankind. The individual must believe or put their trust in Christ's redemptive work on the cross to be saved and that upon belief, the individual is eternally secure.

VII

We believe that God created mankind, male and female and has set boundaries on sexual activity within a covenant marriage between one man and one woman for one life.

VIII

We believe that men and women are made in the image of God and due to this, regardless of any stage of human development or life, have intrinsic value and worth as image-bearers.

IX

We believe that Israel and the church are two separate and distinct entities which have unique purposes in God's plan.

X

We believe in the pre-tribulation rapture of the church; that Jesus will come to take His church to heaven before the tribulation.

XI

We believe in a literal, physical, second coming of Christ after the tribulation.

XII

We believe in a literal, future, 1,000 year reign of Christ on the earth known as the millennium or the millennial reign of Christ.
