Statement of Faith

SCRIPTURE

We believe that all Scripture - the Old and New Testaments of the Bible - are, in the original texts, the inspired, inerrant Word of the one, true, living God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

SIN

We believe that through Adam’s sin, all people are inherently sinful and that we have fallen short of the glory of God. That we all have failed to obey God and keep His commandments, and that there is a just consequence for our sin: death and eternal separation from God, because sin cannot be in the presence of God. (Genesis 2 & 3, Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23)

SALVATION

We believe that God, in His love, sent his only Son, Jesus, to save the world from sin. Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, gave signs through miracles that He is God’s Son and the promised Messiah, and died a sacrificial death on the cross. His death was in our place, providing a once-for-all payment for our sins.

Therefore, Salvation is not something anybody can earn, but it is a free gift, given by the grace of God. We believe the only way to receive Salvation and restore relationship with God is to confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised Him from the dead. (John 3:16, John 14:6, Romans 10:9, Romans 5:8, Ephesians 2:5-8)

RESURRECTION

We believe that three days after Jesus’ death on the cross, He conquered death and rose back to life. His resurrection proves that He is God and allows for us to once again have a relationship with God. (Mark 16:5-7)

CHRISTIANS

We believe that those who have put their trust in Jesus Christ become a new creation, and are called to share the Gospel to all who will listen. (2 Corinthians 5:17, Matthew 28:19)

EVANGELISM

We believe that the ministry of evangelism and discipleship is a responsibility of all followers of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9-15; 1 Peter 3:15)
