“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”
2 Timothy 3:16-17
Our doctrinal statement
- We believe that God is revealed in creation, in the Holy Scriptures, and in Jesus Christ, the apex of revelation.
- The Scriptures, all sixty-six Old and New Testament books, are divinely authoritative in all they affirm.
(Ps. 19:1-6; Heb. 1:1-2; John 17:17) - We believe in God, the one triune, infinite, personal spirit who created and governs all things and who is the sole object of our worship. This one God has always existed in eternal relationship as three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each identical in nature, equal in power and glory, and having precisely the same divine attributes.
(Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14; John 4:24) We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. He became man, without ceasing to be God, and was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary in order to redeem sinful humanity. He satisfied God’s holy and just demands by dying as our substitute on the cross. He assured our redemption by His resurrection from the dead in the same, though glorified, body in which He was crucified.
(John 1:1-2; Luke 1:35; Rom. 3:24-25; 1 Pet. 1:3-5)- We believe that salvation is the gift of God offered to all humanity by grace and received through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
- This faith is manifested in works pleasing to God.
(Eph. 2:8-10; Tit. 2:11-14) - We believe that all true believers, having been justified, shall be kept saved forever.
(Rom. 8:1, 38, 39; John 10:27-30; Phil. 1:6)
