What I believe...
THE BIBLE
I believe the Word of God is 100% Divinely Inspired and holds to the total authority of Scripture for effectively living the Christian life. We believe the Word of God is free from error in dealing with any subject matter, including scientific, historical, moral, and theological
SALVATION
I believe that personal salvation from the eternal penalty of sin is provided solely by the grace of God on the basis of the atoning death and resurrection of Christ. One may only receive Salvation through personal faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ.
PERSONAL DEVOTION
I believe Christians should develop in their faith and be committed to a life of personal devotion to God. Commitment is expressed through corporate and private worship, participation in small group Bible study, meaningful service in a ministry, giving financially in a God-honoring way and intentionally introducing others to a personal relationship with God.
THE TRINITY
I believe in the Triune, Godhead—one eternal, transcendent, omnipotent, personal God existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
*God the Father, the first person of the Divine Trinity, is infinite Spirit – sovereign, eternal, and unchangeable in all His attributes. He is worthy of honor, adoration, and obedience.
*Jesus, The Son, is the perfect, sinless humanity and the absolute, full deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, indissolubly united in one divine-human person since His unique incarnation by a miraculous conception and virgin birth.
*The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead who convicts, regenerates, indwells, seals all believers in Christ, and fills those who yield to Him. The Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts to all believers; however, the manifestation of any particular gift is not required as evidence of salvation.
REDEMPTION
I believe I in the substitutionary and redemptive sacrifice of Jesus Christ for the sin of the world, through His literal physical death, burial, and resurrection, followed by His bodily ascension into heaven.
