WHAT I BELIEVE…
I believe God is One in three Persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—eternally existing. I believe that God’s three Persons are all distinct, yet each Person is fully God.
I believe that Jesus Christ, in His incarnation, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, the only begotten by God the Father. I believe that Jesus lived a sinless life, perfectly fulfilling the law. I believe that Jesus died on the cross, was buried, and rose again from the dead on the third day. I believe that Jesus did this in order to make provision for sinners as the perfect substitutional sacrifice for those who, by God’s grace, respond with repentance and faith in Him.
I believe the Holy Spirit exalts Christ and convicts men of sin, righteousness, and judgment. He dwells, sanctifies, equips, enlightens, and empowers God’s children for obedience, worship, witness, and service. I believe that the Holy Spirit also seals God’s children for eternal salvation.
I believe that the Bible is the Word of God and that it is truth, without error, and divinely inspired. I submit to its authority.
I believe God created man in His own image, both male and female, with the purpose of glorifying Himself. I believe that because of rebellion and sin, man is separated from God and deserving of eternal punishment. However, man, being created in the image of God, is still worthy of respect, dignity, and neighborly Christian love.
I believe in the unity of the Church under the power of the Holy Spirit and the authority of God’s Word.
