Statement of Faith

God
I believe there is one true God.
God is both sovereign over creation and actively loving toward creation.
God is perfect and purposeful.
God's power, wisdom, and goodness are without logical limit.
I believe God is One "What" (being) and three "Who’s" (persons).
God eternally exists as Father, Son & Spirit.

Mankind
I believe that Adam and Eve were formed in the image of God and filled by the breath of God,
but later chose to serve self instead of God.
I believe this rebellion created a brokenness between God and mankind.
Mankind became spiritually broken, no longer willing or able to commune rightly with God.

Salvation
I believe salvation is the process by which God re-connects people to God.
Salvation is the work of the Trinity.
God wills for all people to be saved,
but they must genuinely repent in order to be saved by God’s grace.

Church
I believe the church is a relational organism made up of all those of whom Jesus calls followers.
The church is the people of God.
They were the remnant of the Old Testament and the disciples of the New Testament.
This church is the vessel through which Christ continues His ministry of reconciliation.

End-Times
I believe in the future second coming of Jesus.
Mankind will then be judged and separated by their deeds (which evidence their faith or lack thereof)
The righteous will then dwell with God in a new heaven and earth for all eternity.

Bible
I believe the Old Testament writers spoke from God
as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
I believe the New Testament writings are a reliable account of the life and teachings of Jesus
since they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word.
