Statement of Faith


The Inspiration of the Bible
We believe the Bible is the verbally inspired Word of God.

The Person of God
We believe God is supreme in His person, eternal in His being, absolute in His attributes, and
glorious in His perfection. Therefore, we believe in the Trinity.

The Person of Jesus Christ
We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, His deity, and sinless life. His vicarious death, His
bodily resurrection and ascension, and His personal, premillennial return

The Person of the Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is the executive of the Godhead. We believe that He executes the plan
of God for our conviction and salvation. Therefore, Christians are partakers of the Holy Spirit
and empowered for service by Him.

The Fall of Man
We believe that man was created in the image of God and, by choice, fell into sin and death.
Hence, every person is sinful and under condemnation to eternal judgment.

The Salvation of Sinners
We believe that the salvation of sinners is solely of grace and that Jesus Christ is the only way of
salvation.

The Freeness of Salvation
We believe that the blessings of salvation are made available by the Gospel and that nothing
prevents the salvation of the greatest sinner but his inherent depravity and voluntary rejection of
the Gospel.

The Security of the Believer
We believe that those who receive Jesus Christ as Saviour are eternally secure. Our security rests
on the finished work of Jesus Christ. As a result, we have assurance.

The Doctrine of the Church
We believe the visible church is a congregation of baptized believers practicing New Testament
principles, believing its doctrines, observing its ordinances, and exercising its autonomy.

The Doctrine of Heaven and Hell
We believe in the eternal blessedness of the saved in Heaven and the eternal punishment of the
lost in Hell.
