Statement of Faith

We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and
earth, and of all things visible and invisible; and in Jesus Christ, His
only Son, our Lord, who is of one substance with the Father; by
whom all things were made; and in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and
giver of life, who is sent from the Father and Son, and who together
with the Father and Son is worshipped and glorified.

We believe that man was made in the image of God, that he might
know, love, and obey God, and enjoy Him forever; that our first
parents by disobedience fell under the righteous condemnation of
God; and that all men are so alienated from God that there is no
salvation from the guilt and power of sin except through God's
redeeming grace.

We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are
the records of God's revelation of Himself in the work of
redemption; that they were written by men under the special
guidance of the Holy Spirit; (and) that they are able to make wise
unto salvation.

We believe that the love of God to sinful men has found its highest
expression in the redemptive work of His Son; who by His
humiliation, His holy obedience, His sufferings, His death on the
cross, and His resurrection, became a perfect Redeemer; whose
sacrifice of Himself for the sins of the world declared the
righteousness of God, and is the sole and sufficient ground of
forgiveness and of reconciliation with Him.

We believe that Jesus Christ, after He had risen from the dead,
ascended into heaven, where, as the one mediator between God and
man, He carries forward His work of saving men; and that those who
through renewing grace turn to righteousness, and trust in Jesus
Christ as their Redeemer, receive for His sake the forgiveness of
their sins and are made the children of God.
