We believe in historic, biblical, New Testament Christianity.
What does the Bible teach about who God is, or who Jesus is? What do the Scriptures say about man, sin, and salvation? What does the Bible say about itself? Our doctrinal statement affirms what we believe about these and other important Christian truths.
Our Statement of Faith
Our Statement of Faith is a summary statement of what we believe about the basic doctrines of the Christian faith. Our full doctrinal statement, “What We Teach,” is available for download at the bottom of this page.
The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible, sufficient, and authoritative word of God.
There is one, true God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, each equal in essence, will, authority, power, and glory.
Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, without sin, and born of a virgin. He lived, died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and three days later arose from the dead. His death was the satisfactory sacrifice to pay the penalty for the sins of all who will repent and believe on Him.
Man was created by God and in His image, but Adam’s sin caused separation from God for all mankind, who are now born with a sin nature and under the sentence of death.
Salvation is the free gift of God offered to mankind by grace, not works, and received by faith in the Person and work of Jesus Christ, resulting in eternal life which cannot be lost.
All who die in their sins apart from faith in Christ will face the just judgment of God in a literal place of torment that the Bible calls hell, where they will suffer eternally in both body and soul.
In the future, there will be a resurrection of believers unto eternal life and a resurrection of unbelievers unto eternal and conscious punishment. There will also be a future, personal, and bodily return to earth of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Marriage, as given and defined by God, is a public, formal, officially-recognized, life-long union between one man and one woman. God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman; therefore, any form of sexual immorality—such as adultery, fornication, homosexuality, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, pedophilia, pornography, or any attempt to change one’s gender or disagreement with one’s biological gender—is sinful and offensive to God.
