Declaration of Faith
GOD
We believe in one God, Creator and Sustainer of the universe, who is manifested eternally in
three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, who are One in being, essence, and power.
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, his virgin birth, his sinless life, his redemptive
death, his bodily resurrection, his present exaltation at the Father's right hand, and in the
"blessed hope" of his personal return in power and glory.
THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the deity of the Holy Spirit, who convicts human beings of their need of salvation
through Christ, who dwells in the believers, and who equips and empowers them to live holy lives
of service in the discipline of the nations.
THE CHURCH
We believe that the Church is comprised of all true believers, is united spiritually and manifested
visibly in local congregations, whose mission is the spiritual development of the believers and
the proclamation of the Gospel in the world.
THE BIBLE
We believe the Bible to be the divinely inspired and authoritative Word of God, the only infallible
rule of faith and practice.
THE HUMAN CONDITION
We believe that every human being has sinned, is guilty before God, and is under eternal
condemnation.
SALVATION
We believe that God, through the death and resurrection of his Son Jesus Christ, has provided an
atonement for sin and that, through repentance and saving faith in Christ, a person may by grace
be delivered from the judgment of God, and be born again into life eternal.
FINAL DESTINY
We believe in the resurrection of the body, the everlasting punishment of unbelievers, and the
eternal blessedness of believers in the presence of Christ.
