Doctrinal Statement

What We Believe & Teach

Scripture:    We believe in the plenary, verbal inspiration of the original writings of the 66 books of the Bible. It is the Word of God, and it is the full and complete revelation of God’s will for man. It is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice.

Godhead:    We believe in One God, eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfection.

Jesus Christ: We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. We believe that Jesus is God

Salvation:   We believe that salvation is the gift of God, brought to us (sinful mankind) by grace and is received by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ who accomplished complete redemption by his substitutionary death and the shedding of his precious blood. We are saved by grace through faith.
