Section 1 - God:
We believe in One indivisible God, eternally existing in Three distinct Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, having precisely the same nature, attributes and perfections; equal in power and glory. Our belief centers on the absolute uniqueness of God, who, as the Creator of the heavens and the earth, governs all things according to His sovereign decree. Unchanging and unparalleled, God alone holds all power, knowledge, and wisdom, deserving of unceasing glory, honor, and praise.
Section 2 - Scriptures:
We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the verbally inspired and inerrant Word of God in their original manuscripts. These sacred texts, the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and practice, constitute the complete and sufficient written revelation of God. Recognizing the divine authorship of the Bible, we affirm its authority to be inherent, independent of any human institution, council, or creed.
Section 3 - Salvation and Sanctification:
We believe that God created mankind in His image, intending them to rule over the earth. However, due to Adam's sin, humanity fell, inheriting a sinful nature and becoming alienated from God. As a result, humans are totally depraved and helpless to remedy their lost condition. Therefore, mankind is saved solely by the unmerited grace of God through faith, apart from any human effort, in accordance with His sovereign will. Following salvation, believers are called to pursue and maintain good works. We affirm the security of the saved in Christ and the imperative of living a sanctified life, progressively being conformed to the image of Christ. Through God's sovereign grace and mercy, the Holy Spirit regenerates sinners, granting them the gifts of faith and repentance, leading to a life characterized by love for God and turning away from sin.
Section 4 - Christ's Work:
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ achieved our redemption through His death on the cross, serving as a representative, substitutionary sacrifice. Those who trust in Him are justified by His shed blood, securing eternal life through His literal, physical resurrection from the dead. Ascending to heaven, Christ triumphantly sits at the Father's right hand, interceding for all believers.
Section 5 - Christ's Return:
We believe that Christ will return to judge the living and the dead, a promise woven throughout the inspired Scriptures. In preparation for His return, believers are called to lives that bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. The Church is to be dedicated to evangelism and discipleship, teaching the unadulterated Gospel of Christ through God's Word.
