STATEMENT OF FAITH
We Believe:
* That the Scriptures were inspired by God, were without error in the original copy, and are the ultimate authoritative guide for our lives on earth today.
* That one God eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is self-existent, self-sufficient, holy, good, loving, sovereign, all powerful, all knowing, unchangeable, infinite, and ever present.
* That the Lord Jesus Christ is true God and true man. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life as a human, died in our place to pay the just penalty for our sins, physically rose from the grave, is presently advocating for us in Heaven, and will return in bodily form to claim us as his bride.
* That man has fallen from his original state, resulting in his complete and universal separation from God and his need of salvation.
* That salvation is a free and everlasting gift of God which we do not deserve and cannot earn, bestowed by God on those who place their personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
* That any individual who places their faith in Christ for salvation is instantly born into the family of God by the Holy Spirit, who personally indwells the believer from that moment forward.
* That all humans will be raised in bodily form – those who trust in Christ to enjoy unending life with the Lord; and those who trust in their own good works to suffer unending punishment separated from God.
