Statement of Faith

The Triune God

I believe in one eternal, self‑existent, perfect God who created, sustains, and rules all things. God is triune: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — three Persons, one God, equal in glory and majesty.

Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God who became fully man without ceasing to be fully God. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died as the full atonement for sin, rose bodily from the dead, ascended to heaven, intercedes for believers, and will return bodily to judge the living and the dead.

The Holy Spirit is Lord and Giver of life. He glorifies Christ, convicts the world of sin, regenerates sinners, and indwells believers to produce righteousness.

God reveals Himself in Scripture using masculine titles and pronouns.

 

Scripture

I believe the 66 books of the Bible are the inspired, inerrant, infallible, authoritative, and sufficient Word of God.

Scripture interprets Scripture, and everything necessary for salvation is clearly taught within it.

The Bible’s authority extends to all areas it addresses, including history and science.

 

Creation, Origins & History

I believe Genesis 1–11 records real historical events and provides the true framework for understanding origins.

•              God created all original “kinds,” including humanity, directly and supernaturally — not through evolutionary processes.

•              Biological variation occurs only within created kinds.

•              Noah’s Flood was a global, catastrophic, historical event responsible for most fossil‑bearing sediments.

•              Humanity and creation have a recent origin, with six literal 24‑hour creation days.

•              Attempts to fit evolution or millions of years into Genesis are incompatible with Scripture.

•              No evidence can override the clear teaching of Scripture, since evidence is interpreted by fallible humans.

 

Humanity

I believe God created humanity in His image as two complementary genders: male and female.

Adam was created from dust and Eve from Adam’s rib — not from prior lifeforms.

Human life begins at conception and must be protected. Abortion, euthanasia, and assisted suicide violate God’s law.

There is one human race, descended from Adam and Eve and later Noah. All people possess equal dignity and value.

Modern concepts such as social justice, intersectionality, and critical race theory (as commonly defined today) are unbiblical.

Parents are responsible for raising their children in the Christian faith.

Marriage & Sexuality

•              Marriage is only between one naturally born man and one naturally born woman.

•              Sexual intimacy is reserved for marriage alone.

•              All sexual activity outside biblical marriage is sinful.

•              Gender is determined at conception and cannot be changed.

•              Rejecting one’s biological sex is sinful, yet these truths must be communicated with compassion, love, and respect, pointing all people to redemption in Christ.

 

Sin

I believe Adam and Eve’s historical fall brought sin, death, suffering, and natural evil into the world.

All people are sinners by nature and choice, deserving God’s judgment.

All humans are equally sinful and equally able to receive salvation through Christ.

 

Salvation

Creation and the gospel are inseparable.

Salvation is available only through the sacrificial death and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ.

It is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.

A true believer repents, trusts Christ’s finished work, and receives Him as Savior, Lord, and God.

 

The Church

The church consists of all who have saving faith in Christ and are united to Him as the Head.

Unbelievers face eternal, conscious punishment in hell; believers enjoy eternal life with God.

Christians are called to fellowship in a local, Bible‑believing church, worship God, support the Great Commission, and love one another sincerely.

 

Christ’s Return

Jesus Christ will personally and bodily return in glory to consummate His kingdom and judge the living and the dead.

All people will be resurrected:

•              believers to eternal life,

•              unbelievers to eternal punishment.

Satan is a real personal being who will be eternally judged in the lake of fire
