There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise. God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
God has revealed himself to us through his son, Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God, the holy scriptures, and through all of creation itself.
Humans, created as either male or female, were made in God's image for His glory. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed to have dominion over God's creations.
When Adam and Eve chose not to obey God, they ceased to be what they were made to be and became distorted by sin. This fall into sin caused them and all of their children to fall out of fellowship with God, and fractured all of creation ever since that time. Thus, man's nature is sinful, fallen, totally depraved and in need of redemption.
Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead and now, by grace, offers as a free gift eternal life to who will believe in Jesus as their Lord and Savior. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.
The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God to be the reflection of Jesus and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.
We believe the Bible is the all sufficient Word of God.
All creeds, books, and sermons are only good and helpful as they reflect the content of Scripture.
Discretion must be exercised at all times when evaluating the content of these confessions in light of God’s Word.
