What We Believe
SCRIPTURE
That the Scriptures are true, authoritative and sufficient (Psalm 19:7-11; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 PeterĀ 1:20-21)
GOD
That there is only one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 45:5-6; Isaiah 46:9-10; John 17:3; 1 Corinthians
8:4-6; 1 Timothy 2:5)
TRINITY
That the Father is God; the Son is God and the Holy Spirit is God; and that the Father is neither
the Son nor the Holy Spirit, the Son is neither the Father nor the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit
is neither the Father not the Son (Genesis 1:26; Psalm 45:6-7; Psalm 110:1; Matthew 3:13-17;
Matthew 28:17-20; 1 Corinthians 12:4-6)
MAN
That I am, along with all humanity (excluding Jesus Christ), by birth and action a sinner (Genesis
6:5; Psalm 51:5; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:8, 12-21; Romans 7:18; Ephesians
2:1-3).
SIN
That the deserved penalty for sin is death, both physical and spiritual (Genesis 2:15-17: Genesis
3:19: Romans 5:12; Romans 6:23; James 1:14-15).
JESUS
That Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, was born of a virgin and is both fully God and fully
human (Matthew 1:20; Luke 2:52; John 1:1-4, 14; Colossians 1:15-20; Hebrews 1:1-3).
ATONEMENT
That Jesus Christ died as my substitute to pay the penalty for my sin (John 1:29; John 10:1-18;
Romans 5:8; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 1:4; 1 Peter 3:18)
RESURRECTION
That Jesus Christ physically rose from the dead (Matthew 28:1-20; Mark 16:1-8; Luke 24:1-53;
John 1:20-21, 25; 1 Corinthians 15:12-34).
ASCENSION
That Jesus Christ physically ascended into heaven and will one day physically return (John 14:3;
Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16; Hebrews 9:28; 1 John 3:2; Revelation 1:7).
COMING KINGDOM
In a future physical resurrection of the dead. Those who trust in Jesus Christ alone will be raised
to an eternal kingdom. Those who have not trusted in Jesus Christ will be raised to eternal punishment
(Matthew 25:31-46; John 5:28-29; Acts 24:15).
SALVATION BY FAITH ALONE
That only by trusting in the person and work of Jesus Christ alone can I be reconciled to God
and experience true life and joy (John 3:18; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:21-26; 1 Timothy
2:5-6
