Our Beliefs

Bible 

The Bible is the inspired and inerrant Word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice.

​

God 

There is one God, eternal and self-existing in three persons (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) who are to be equally loved, honored, and adored. 

​

Mankind 

All are sinners and totally unable to save themselves from God’s displeasure. 

 

Jesus Christ 

Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who through His perfect life and sacrificial death and resurrection atoned for the sins of all who will trust in Him alone for salvation. 

 

Salvation 

Based upon his sovereign choice, God, in his mercy, saves sinners from every nation and tongue. His choice does not depend on any human individual merit or foreseen faith but rather on his unfathomable love. Those to whom the Holy Spirit gives life are then graciously forgiven of their sins, clothed in the righteousness of Christ, and are certain to persevere to the end. The goal of God's salvation in the life of the Christian is holiness, good works, and service for the glory of God under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. 

 

Baptism and the Church 

God is gracious and faithful to His people not simply as individuals but as families in successive generations according to His Covenant promises. Baptism is a sign of God's covenant and is properly administered to children of believers in their infancy as well as to those who come as adults to trust in Christ. The visible church is made up of baptized believers and their children. 

 

Holy Spirit 

The Holy Spirit indwells God’s people and gives them the strength and wisdom to trust Christ and follow Him. 

 

Last Things 

At death, the Christian’s soul passes immediately into the presence of God, and the unbeliever’s soul is eternally separated from God unto condemnation. At the end of time Jesus Christ will return to earth, visibly and bodily, to consummate history and the eternal plan of God. He will judge all mankind, receive His people unto Himself, and dwell with them for eternity in the new creation.
