Statement of Faith

I believe there is one God who eternally exists in three per­sons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

I believe Jesus Christ was both fully God and fully man, that he was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died a sacrificial death on the cross for the sins of the world, rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and is coming again to judge the living and the dead. 

I believe that by grace through faith in Christ we can be saved from eternal separation from God

I believe the Bible is the inspired, without error Word of God in its original manuscripts.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

STATEMENT OF BELIEF

I believe there is one and only one path to salvation and eternal life: Jesus.

I believe baptism is an outward proclamation of an inward change, not required for salvation but commanded by Christ.

I believe marriage is a sacred covenant, created by God, intended to be between one man and one woman.

I believe in the sanctity of all human life. 

I believe life begins at conception and that abortion is murder of the innocent.

I believe all followers of Jesus, including women, are called to be disciples and make disciples. 

I believe women are called to share the Gospel in a variety of ways, through many different types of ministries and church service both inside and outside of their homes, including but not limited to preaching, teaching, and worship.

I believe women share in and can contribute from all the same spiritual gifts men do. These gifts are given by the Holy Spirit and differ from person to person, by God's choice.

I believe the role of church elder and pastoral positions are intended for godly men. I believe women can serve in auxiliary positions of ministry leadership, including preaching/teaching, worship and missionary work, but not in pastoral positions.

I believe Israel remains God's chosen people, and that the Christian Church is grafted in.

I pray for my Jewish brothers and sisters to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus.

I believe in the proper handling/interpretation of the Scriptures and the importance of committing time and intention to studying the Bible, not to learn about ourselves, but to learn about the True and Living God.

I believe in the pre-Tribulation Rapture of the church and am living in joyful expectation of it. 

I believe in Jesus' premillennial Second Coming when He will establish God’s kingdom of righteousness and peace on the earth.

I believe Hell is a real place in which the unsaved suffer the consequences of refusing to submit to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. 

I believe salvation is a free gift. You cannot earn it. You don't deserve it. Neither do I.
