Our Beliefs

Salvation is by Grace Alone through Faith Alone in Christ Alone according to the Scriptures Alone to the Glory of God Alone

We Believe that the Holy Scriptures consist of the 39 books of the Old Testament and the 27 books of the New Testament as originally inspired and given by the Holy Spirit. We believe that Scripture is infallible, inerrant, and is to be received, read, believed and obeyed as the written Word of God. The Bible is the rule and guide for life and faith, and alone can bind the conscience.

We Believe in one holy, eternal, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, omnibenevolent God, who exists in three persons - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are one God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory.

We Believe in the full deity and full humanity of Jesus Christ, in his virgin birth, his sinless life, his substitutionary atoning death, his bodily resurrection, his ascension to the right hand of God the Father, his present rule over and intercession for the Church, and his visible bodily return in power and glory to judge the living and the dead, receiving his disciples into everlasting life and sending into eternal punishment all those who reject his offer of salvation .

We Believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, whose monergistic work of regeneration is essential for salvation. By the Spirit's sanctifying power, which indwells all believers in Christ, we are enabled to live godly lives of worship and service.

We Believe that while all men and women are God’s image bearers, we are marred by Adam’s sin, born with a fallen sinful nature with a will that is in bondage to sin and incapable to justify ourselves before God. Only by the sovereign, gracious, intervention of God are we regenerated unto repentance and saving faith.

We Believe that the true church is where the Scripture is rightly proclaimed, where the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper are rightly administered, where there is biblical accountability and discipline.

We Believe: that human life belongs to God and is sacred from conception; that a person’s gender is predetermined and remains consistent throughout life; that men and women are created equal, are of equal spiritual value, and have complementary roles; that holy matrimony may only be solemnized between a man and a woman and is to be honored by chastity.
