What We Believe
We hold to the historic views of
Christianity as expressed in the Westminster Confession of Faith
. The
following statements summarize what we believe:
- We believe the Bible is the
written word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without
error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is the
revelation of God’s truth and is infallible and
authoritative in all matters of faith and practice.
- We believe in the Holy
Trinity. There is one God, who exists eternally in three
persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
- We believe that all are
sinners and totally unable to save themselves from God’s
displeasure, except by His mercy.
-
We believe that salvation is by God alone as He
sovereignly chooses those He will save. We believe His
choice is based on His grace, not on any human individual
merit, or foreseen faith.
-
We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son
of God, who through His perfect life and sacrificial death
atoned for the sins of all who will trust in Him, alone, for
salvation.
-
We believe that God is gracious and faithful to
His people not simply as individuals but as families in
successive generations according to His Covenant promises.
-
We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells God’s
people and gives them the strength and wisdom to trust
Christ and follow Him.
-
We believe that Jesus will return, bodily and
visibly, to judge all mankind and to receive His people to
Himself.
-
We believe that all aspects of our lives are to
be lived to the glory of God under the Lordship of Jesus
Christ.
