What We Believe

Become A Member

We are united in believing that the Bible is God’s inerrant Word,
that conscious trust in Jesus Christ is the only way for a person to be saved,
and that we have the responsibility to take the Good News to the ends of the earth.

We affirm the five “Solas” of the Reformation:

  • Sola Scriptura

    “Scripture Alone”

  • Sola Gratia

    “Grace Alone”

  • Sola Fide

    “Faith Alone”

  • Solus Christus

    “Christ Alone”

  • Soli Deo Gloria

    “To The Glory Of God Alone”

  • Our Worship

Our Statement of Faith

  • We believe in the one true and living God, in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, who is invisible, personal, omnipresent, eternal, dependent on none, unchanging, truthful, trustworthy, almighty, sovereign, omniscient, righteous, holy, good, loving, merciful, long-suffering and gracious.

  • We believe that Almighty God has revealed all that is necessary to life and salvation in the sixty-six books of Holy Scripture, which are the Word of God. All Scripture was given by inspiration of God, is infallible and inerrant, and is the final arbiter in all disputes. Its authority is derived from its Author and not from the opinions of men.

  • We believe that God, before the foundation of the world, for His own glory did elect a great multitude of men and women to eternal life as an act of free and sovereign grace. This election was in no way dependent upon His foresight of human faith, decision, works, or merit.

  • We believe that God made our first father Adam perfect, holy and upright. He was appointed representative and head of the human race, thereby exposing all his offspring to the effects of his obedience or disobedience to God’s commands.

  • We believe that Adam fell from his original righteousness into sin and brought upon himself and all his offspring death, condemnation and a sinful nature.

  • We believe it is utterly beyond the power of fallen man to love God, to keep His laws, to understand the gospel, to repent of sin or to trust in Christ.

  • We believe that God sent His Son into the world, conceived of the virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit, unchangeably sinless, both God and man, born under the law, to live a perfect life of righteousness on behalf of His elect people.

  • We believe that God’s Son died at Calvary to effect propitiation, reconciliation, redemption and atonement for His elect people. God bore testimony to His acceptance of His Son’s work by raising Him bodily from the dead.

  • We believe that God’s Son ascended to the right hand of His Father and is enthroned in glory, where He intercedes on behalf of His people and rules over all things for their sake.

  • We believe that God the Son has poured out the Holy Spirit to work alongside the preached Word. The Spirit of God regenerates elect sinners and draws them irresistibly to faith in Christ the Savior.

  • We believe the elect, who are called by grace, are justified in the sight of God on account of the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ, which is received by faith alone.

  • We believe that all who are regenerated, called and justified shall persevere in holiness and never finally fall away.

  • We believe that evangelism is the proclamation of the good news of Jesus Christ. The message we proclaim is in accordance with the Scriptures. We proclaim the message in the power of the Holy Spirit. The message of the good news is based on historical facts about Jesus. It is only through repentance and faith in Christ that one is forgiven, cleansed, and made a new creation.

  • We believe that the local church is under the authority of Christ alone. Nevertheless, He has appointed men to be elders (undershepherds) to represent Him as they care for His body. Deacons also serve Christ as His ministers of mercy. Furthermore, the communion of saints requires the recognition of and fellowship with other local evangelical churches.

  • We believe that baptism by immersion and the Lord’s Supper are gospel ordinances belonging only to regenerated believers.

  • We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ shall come again to raise the dead bodily, both righteous and unrighteous, and that the righteous shall enjoy everlasting life and the wicked endure everlasting punishment.

  • We believe that missions is more than evangelism, but includes evangelism. Believers are sent out to participate in fulfilling the Great Commission of Christ, who is building His Church. We are called to make disciples of the nations, which is accomplished by going (being sent), baptizing, and teaching all that Christ commanded. As sinners come to Christ through the message of salvation, local churches are planted where discipleship, edification, and multiplication takes place. We believe Christ is with us in mission until the end of the age.
