Statement of Faith (Abbreviated) 

We believe ...

• the Bible to be the inspired Word of God and that it is our standard for faith and conduct.
• that there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• that human nature is sinful and deserving of the punishment of God.
• that Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, and is true God and true man.
• that the death of Jesus Christ was for our sins and that all who trust in Him and His death for us are forgiven their sins and granted eternal life.
• in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, His ascension into Heaven, and His ministry there as our High Priest.
• in the work of the Holy Spirit in convicting people of sin, the regeneration of those turning to Christ from sin, and His work of sanctification in the believer.
• in the personal return of Jesus Christ.
• in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting joy of the saved and the everlasting punishment of the unsaved.
• in water baptism, by immersion, of believers.
