Our Statement of Faith
The Essentials We Believe
WHAT IS OUR
ULTIMATE AUTHORITY?
The Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is the ultimate revelation of God to
mankind. In it, God reveals the truth about who he is, who mankind is, his
purposes and desires for the world and how human beings know him in a
personal relationship.
WHO IS GOD?
God is an objective person who is the Creator and Sustainer of the universe.
He is perfect in every way and is especially characterized by his holiness,
his righteousness and his love. He has eternally existed, and reveals
himself to mankind in three distinct personalities: the Father, the Son, and
the Holy Spirit. These three manifestations are co-equal expressions of one
God.
WHAT IS A HUMAN
BEING?
Human individuals are beings who have been created in the image of God for
the very purpose of living in relationship with him. Although every person
has tremendous potential for good, we are tarnished by our human nature
which is disobedient toward God. This sinful nature generates sinful acts
and the end result is separation from God.
HOW CAN WE
ACHIEVE SALVATION?
Salvation is the process that God has provided for mankind to end the
separation that exists because of the sin problem. This separation is a
spiritual problem which exists as an objective reality in this life and
continues on throughout eternity if it is not remedied before physical
death. God provided for this process through the death, burial and
resurrection of Jesus Christ. To receive this salvation, an individual must
personally acknowledge his or her responsibility for the sin problem, decide
to turn from that disobedience, ask God’s forgiveness and offer his or her
life to him based on the work of Christ on the cross. God honors the sincere
repentance and request by adopting the individual into his family to live
for eternity in his presence.
