Believing that the Bible, God’s Word, sets forth certain doctrinal principles to be followed by all believers, we as a church subscribe specifically to the following:
1.
God – We believe in one God, Creator of all things, holy, infinitely
perfect, and eternally existing in a loving unity of three equally
divine Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Having
limitless knowledge and sovereign power, God has graciously purposed
from eternity to redeem a people for Himself and to make all things
new for His own glory.
2.
The Bible
– We believe that God has spoken in the Scriptures, both Old and New
Testaments, through the words of human authors. As the verbally
inspired Word of God, the Bible is without error in the original
writings, the complete revelation of His will for salvation, and the
ultimate authority by which every realm of human knowledge and
endeavor should be judged. Therefore, it is to be believed in all
that it teaches, obeyed in all that it requires, and trusted in all
that it promises.
3.
The Human Condition
– We believe that God created Adam and Eve in His image, but they
sinned when tempted by Satan. In union with Adam, human beings are
sinners by nature and by choice, alienated from God, and under His
wrath. Only through God’s saving work in Jesus Christ can we be
rescued, reconciled and renewed.
4.
Jesus Christ
– We believe that Jesus Christ is God incarnate, fully God and fully
man, one Person in two natures. Jesus—
5.
The Work of Christ – We believe that Jesus Christ, as our representative
and substitute, shed His blood on the cross as the perfect,
all-sufficient sacrifice for our sins. His atoning death and
victorious resurrection constitute the only ground for salvation.
6.
The Holy Spirit – We believe that the Holy Spirit, in all that He does,
glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ. He convicts the world of its guilt.
He regenerates sinners, and in Him they are baptized into union with
Christ and adopted as heirs in the family of God. He also indwells,
illuminates, guides, equips and empowers believers for Christ-like
living and service.
7.
The Church – We believe that the true church comprises all who have
been justified by God's grace through faith alone in Christ alone.
They are united by the Holy Spirit in the body of Christ, of which
He is the Head. The true church is manifest in local churches, whose
membership should be composed only of believers. The Lord Jesus
mandated two ordinances, baptism and the Lord’s Supper, which
visibly and tangibly express the gospel. Though they are not the
means of salvation, when celebrated by the church in genuine faith,
these ordinances confirm and nourish the believer.
8.
Christian Living – We believe that God's justifying grace must not be
separated from His sanctifying power and purpose. God commands us to
love Him supremely and others sacrificially, and to live out our
faith with care for one another, compassion toward the poor and
justice for the oppressed. With God’s Word, the Spirit’s power, and
fervent prayer in Christ’s name, we are to combat the spiritual
forces of evil. In obedience to Christ’s commission, we are to make
disciples among all people, always bearing witness to the gospel in
word and deed.
9.
Christ’s Return – We believe in the personal, bodily and premillennial
return of our Lord Jesus Christ. The coming of Christ, at a time
known only to God, demands constant expectancy and, as our blessed
hope, motivates the believer to godly living, sacrificial service
and energetic mission.
10.
Response and Eternal
Destiny
– We believe that God commands everyone everywhere to believe the
gospel by turning to Him in repentance and receiving the Lord Jesus
Christ. We believe that God will raise the dead bodily and judge the
world, assigning the unbeliever to condemnation and eternal
conscious punishment and the believer to eternal blessedness and joy
with the Lord in the new heaven and the new earth, to the praise of
His glorious grace. Amen.
