Doctrinal Statement
(Summary)
(Summary)
We believe in the Holy Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.
We believe that the Son of God, or the Word, was made fully man and is fully God. He dwelt among men, lived the perfect life, was crucified as the atonement for all sin, and that God bodily resurrected Jesus Christ in victory over death thus guaranteeing eternal life to those who believe.
We believe in the sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures for salvation and the holy life; that the Cannon of Scripture consists of the sixty-six books of the Old Testament and the thirty-nine books of the New Testament; and that the Bible is the inerrant, verbally inspired Word of God.
We believe in the original sin and the offer of free grace to all men.
We believe that the believer is accounted righteous before God by faith only and that all believers are called into a life of holiness to God and separation from the world and sin.
We believe that there are only two sacraments, Baptism and the Supper of the Lord; and that the work of the Church is the evangelization of the world by the preaching of cross.
We believe in the Genesis account of creation which teaches that all things found their origin in God.
We believe in the reality of the person of Satan.
We believe in the literal, bodily, personal premillennial, and imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
