 Statement of Faith
and Purpose
We believe that:
the Bible is God's true and trustworthy Word to
mankind.
the triune God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit)
miraculously created the Heavens and Earth by His Word and for His
glory.
God created mankind in His own image to know,
love, and glorify Him.
all of us (beginning with Adam and Eve) are
guilty of disobeying God's holy law, and thus deserve God's judgment of
death.
God the Son incarnate, Jesus Christ the Lord,
bore our guilt and God's judgment when He was crucified on the Cross,
making full atonement for our sin.
Jesus Christ, bodily resurrected on the third
day, is the only Savior - saving all who come to Him in true repentance
and faith.
all who believe in the Lord Jesus as Savior are
born again to a secure new life of discipleship within the Church of
Christ.
Jesus Christ is coming again - Maranatha! (A
detailed doctrinal statement is available upon request)
