We Believe in God.
We believe there is only one true and living God.
He is immutable, indefatigable and infinite. He
is an intelligent Spirit, reality and creator of
all. He is God the Father, God the Son, and God
the Holy Spirit.
We Believe in Jesus Christ.
We believe Jesus is Savior, Lord Christ, and the
incarnate reality of God. He is the walking revelation
of God's love to humanity. He embodied grace. He
died on the cross for the redemption of God's creation,
and He got up on Easter morning to confirm to the
world that God is still in control of heaven and
earth.
We Believe in the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is
Christ in present tense empowering the believer,
energizing the church and encouraging Christians
that God is still with us. He convicts of sin. He
points us to truth. He leads us into righteousness.
We Believe in the Church.
We believe in the church. The church is the prolonged
incarnation of Jesus Christ; His body, bride and
building witnessing to the world through word and
sacrament. The church is a fellowship of regenerated
men and women called out to live together in community
life.
We Believe in the Holy Scriptures.
We believe that the scripture is God's word. It
is His written authority for the Church. The scripture
was given to ordinary men through inspiration. The
scripture is inerrant in principle and infallible
in content.
We Believe in Humanity.
We believe man was created in the image of God.
God breathed His life into man; man voluntarily
rebelled against God and fell from a state of perfection,
thereby experiencing separation from God; consequently,
all men are sinners. By choice, man is redeemable
through Jesus Christ in his only hope to experience
the peace of God.
We Believe in Salvation.
We believe in God's saving grace. The blessings
of salvation are free to all through the Gospel.
The requisite of acceptance is a thankful, penitent
and obedient faith. Nothing interferes with the
salvation of the sinner except his refusal of the
Gospel. Therefore, man's disbelief is his condemnation.
We Believe in Justification.
We believe that justification is being brought into
a right relationship with God. His position is accomplished
without consideration of good works (of righteousness).
Justification is the pardoning of sin, the gift
of eternal life displays God's love for human-kind;
and that by faith in the redemptive blood of Jesus
Christ His righteousness was given to us.
We Believe in the Lord's
Supper and Baptism.
We believe baptism is an ocular demonstration of
God's inward renewal in the life of the believer.
In baptism, our names are changed. In the name of
the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, we are placed under
the authority of God's power and protection. It
is the symbol of Christ's death, burial and resurrection
to a new life. It is a prerequisite to the privileges
of the church in relation to the Lord's Supper.
Jesus Christ took bread and wine and established
them as the imperishable symbols of the church.
The Lord's Table is open to all people in the faith
who desire to fellowship with Him.
We Believe in the Virgin
Birth.
We believe in the Virgin Birth. Mary, mother of
Jesus, conceived Him by the Holy Spirit. He is without
sin. He was born of a virgin as no other man in
the past or in the present can ever be born. He
is both the Son of God and God the Son. |
