MEMBERSHIP AFFIRMATION OF FAITH

Each Point of This Statement Must be Affirmed by Prospective Church Members

​

We believe the Bible to be the verbally inspired Word of God and as such is the inerrant and final authority for faith and practice.

We believe in one God who created, sustains, and sovereignly rules all things. This God exists as three persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit.  Each of these three persons is just as much God as the others, and performs distinct but harmonious roles in salvation.

We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ and that He is fully God and fully man.

We believe in the sinfulness of all men and women and their resulting inability to seek or to please God by their own efforts.  Consequently, all are under just condemnation of death.

We believe that Jesus made the substitutionary sacrifice of His own life on the cross and that all who repent and believe in Him have eternal life.

We believe in the eternal perseverance in faith of all those who trust in the Lord Jesus.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus and His ascension into heaven from which he will return to earth to establish His Kingdom.

We believe in the baptism of disciples by immersion in water as a witness to the true identification to Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.

We believe that the local church consists of believers who meet for worship, growth, and service to God.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of believers and unbelievers.  Unbelievers will be raised to eternal conscious punishment in hell and believers to life with God forevermore.

We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to only occur between a man and a woman who are married to each other.

We believe that human life begins at conception and that all men and women are uniquely created in the image of God.
