STATEMENT OF FAITH We believe in one God eternally existing in three persons; of one substance, power and authority; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The whole universe was created by God from nothing for His own pleasure. He is rightfully sovereign and rules over all creation. He is entirely good and gracious, all-powerful, all knowing and all loving. Matthew 28:19; II Corinthians 13:14; Genesis 1:31; John 1:3. We believe that man was originally created in the image of God to enjoy fellowship with God. In Adam s sin, humanity was alienated from God and it is now man s nature to be disobedient to God. Man, however still bears God s image and thus has dignity and worth. Man s sin nevertheless causes him to be separated from God and utterly lost. Genesis 1:27; Romans 3:11; Romans 5:12; John 1:3. We believe that Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary and that He is both undiminished deity and genuine humanity in one person forever. John 1:1; Matthew 1:20-21; Philippians 2:7. We believe that entrance into a state of fellowship with God is secured entirely by God s grace through a person s belief that Jesus Christ bore our sins in His sacrificial death, was bodily resurrected from the dead and was glorified as Lord and Ruler of all creation. This faith and the outworking of it are evidence of God s salvation unto eternal life. John 1:12; I Timothy 2:6; Romans 10:9; Ephesians 2:8-10. We believe the Holy Spirit convicts men of sin, regenerates them from spiritual death to spiritual life and is responsible for continuing the work of Christ in believers. Christians are thus enabled by His indwelling presence to enjoy God and to grow in Christ-likeness. The chief means and fruit of growth are: intimacy with God through the study and observance of His Word, prayer, worship and the sacraments, active love of fellow Christians and being salt and light to the world. John 16:8; Titus 3:5-6; John 16:13-14; II Peter 1:5-8; John 17:17; Colossians 3:14-17; Matthew 5:13-16. We believe the 66 books of Holy Scripture as originally given are the complete Word of God, without error, divinely inspired, recorded by men and are the supreme and final authority in faith and life. II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:21; Hebrews 4:12-13. Please indicate your degree of support with our Statement of Faith: I fully support the statement as written without reservation. I support the statement except for the area(s) listed and explained below. The exceptions represent either disagreements or items for which I have not yet formed an opinion or conviction.
