STATEMENT OF FAITH

1. That the Bible is the inspired and only infallible, authoritative written Word of God. It is used exclusively as the source for teaching and doctrine, not in conjunction with any other alleged sacred writings or scriptures.(2 Tim. 3:15-17, 1 Thes. 2:13, 2 Pet. 1:21, Gal. 1:8)
2. That there is one God - who is eternal and exists in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.(Deut. 6:3, Isa. 43:10-11, Matt. 28:19, Luke 3:22)
3. In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ - that He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died a vicarious and atoning death for our sins, rose from the dead on the third day, and was exalted to the right hand of the Father.(Matt. 1:23, Luke 1:31-25, Heb 7:26, 1 Pet. 2:22, Acts 2:22, 10:38, 1 Cor. 15:3, 2 Cor. 5:21, Matt. 28:6, Luke 24:39, 1 Cor. 15:4, Acts 1:9-11, 2:33, Phil. 2:9-11, Heb 1:1-3)
4. That Jesus will someday personally return - to gather His saints, and will at some future time return to the earth in power and glory to rule for a thousand years.(1 Thes. 4:16-17, Matt. 24:30-31, Rev. 20:1-6)
5. That God hears and answers the prayers of His people - in accordance to His will.(Matt. 7:7-11, 1 John 5:14-15)
6. That there will someday be a resurrection of both the saved and the lost - the one to everlasting life in Heaven, and the other to everlasting damnation in the Lake of Fire.(Matt 25:46, Mark 9:43-48, Rev. 19:20, 20:11-15, 21:8)

(This summary does not dismiss the value of other important Biblical doctrines, taught with varying opinions, but additional teachings are not mandatory to basic Christian faith.)
