Statement of Faith

  • The Bible is inspired (brought into existence) by God, free from error in the first writing of the document. It is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice. It reveals the ruin of man by sin, and his redemption (deliverance from sin and its consequences) through faith in the atoning work (reconciliation work) of the Lord Jesus Christ.
  • There is one God, eternally existent in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  • The Lord Jesus Christ is fully God. He was born of a virgin and is sinlessly perfect. His sacrifice is substitutionary and representative. He rose bodily from the dead and ascended to His Father’s right hand, where He now ministers as our Great High Priest.
  • Each member of the human race is fallen, sinful (missing the standard set by God) and lost, and regeneration (being made new) by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for the salvation of men. Redemption is wholly by the blood of Christ, and salvation is by grace (unmerited favor), through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • The Church of our Lord Jesus Christ composed of all true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ is one and indivisible.
  • We believe and observe in simplicity the two ordinances left by the Lord Jesus Christ for His people:
    (a) Baptism by immersion for all true believers in Christ
    (b) The Lord’s Supper which is celebrated every Lord’s Day
