What We Believe

STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, and in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

We believe that for salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

CORE VALUES

Truth:                  We will seek and value truth, because God is the ultimate source of all truth.
                             “Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding” (Proverbs 23:23).

Wisdom:              We will seek God’s wisdom in our decisions, choices, and actions.
                             “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is                                            insight” (Proverbs 9:10).

Excellence:          We will seek the highest possible quality in everything we do.
                              “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God”                                                               (1 Corinthians 10:31).

Stewardship:       We will wisely use and care for the resources entrusted to us.
                              “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein”                                           (Psalm 24:1).

Servanthood:      We will follow the example set by Jesus Christ in how we serve others.
                              “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom                                  for many” (Mark 10:45).
