Everything we believe and proclaim in this Statement of Faith is grounded in a biblical worldview with the foundation being the unchanging and infallible Word of God. The Bible, not the culture, guides everything we think, say, and do in life.
God
We believe in God. He is, He was, and He always will be. He created the Heavens and the Earth and everything in them. He is known as Father, came as the Son, and dwells in believers as the Holy Spirit. These are co-equal and make up the one, true God.
Genesis 1:1, 26-27, Psalm 86:8-17, Psalm 90:1, John 1:1-3, Hebrews 11:3
Jesus
Jesus, God the Son, came to Earth and was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died for our sins, and rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven. Jesus is still alive and active today and will one day return to the earth to reign as King of kings and Lord of lord! Faith in Jesus is the only hope we have in salvation.
Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 9:-6-7, Matthew 1:20-21, Matthew 24:30, Luke 2:11, Luke 1:30-35, John 1:1-3, 14, John 3:16-17, John 14:6, 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Colossians 2:9, Revelation 1:7
Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is our Comforter, Counselor, Guide, and He convicts of sin in every Christian believer who comes to faith in Jesus. He lives inside of Christian, His Temple, to encourage and equip us for ministry. As Christians, we seek to live under His control daily.
Genesis 1:2, John 14:16-17, John 16:8, Acts 2:38, 1 Corinthians 6:18, 1 Corinthian 12:4-6, Ephesians 1:13-14, Galatians 5:16
Bible
The Bible is the Word of God, written for us through authors inspired by the Holy Spirit. It’s true, it’s accurate, it’s authentic, it’s without error and completely trustworthy, and it applies to our lives today. The Bible, not the culture, guides everything we think, say, and do in our ministry.
Psalm 119:1-5,60, John 17:17, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Hebrews 4:12,
Salvation
Salvation is a free gift that is received by faith in Christ alone. It’s God’s grace, not our good deeds. Jesus’ death allows our sins – all of them – to be forgiven. To accept this amazing gift of salvation, one turns from their past (repents) and follows Him as the Lord and Savior of their life.
Mark 1:15, John 3:16, John 14:6, Acts 4:12, Acts 2:38, Romans 10:9,13, Ephesians 2:8-9, Colossians 2:6
Sin
Sin is when we violate God’s commands and God’s ways found in the Bible. Sin separates humanity from God and, without the gift of Salvation through Jesus, leaves humanity without hope in eternity. Jesus paid the price for all sins of all time and anyone who believes in Him, through faith, receives forgiveness of sin and the gift of eternal life.
Genesis 3, Psalm 5:4, Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, John 3:16-17
