Statement of Faith

  • There is one God, eternally existing in three persons - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19)
  • The Holy Scriptures are verbally inspired by God and are our only infallible rule of faith and practice. (John 1:1)
  • Jesus Christ died, shedding His blood for our sins, and was bodily raised from the dead, thereby breaking the bonds of death and assuring us of eternal life. (I Corinthians 15:14-18)
  • Jesus Christ will return visibly and bodily with power and great glory. (I Thessalonians 4:16)
  • Man is by nature and practice a sinner separated from God and can become God's child only by personal faith in Jesus Christ, and as a result, live in submission to God's will as revealed in the Scriptures. (Romans 3:22-24)
  • Those who are thus born into God's family have eternal life (John 3:16) and those who are not remain in spiritual death and will be separated from God forever in hell. (II Thessalonians 1:7-9)
  • The Holy Spirit lives in the believer, enabling him to walk in purity of life and submission to the will of God. (Romans 8:13-14)
  • The believer, in response to his faith in and commitment to Christ, is an active part of the local Body of Christ. (Ephesians 4:1-16

    “It is commonplace that a problem stated is well on its way to solution, for statement of the nature of a problem signifies that the underlying quality is being transformed into determinate distinctions of terms and relations or has become an object of articulate thought.”
    —John Dewey (1859–1952)

    “I think, therefore I am is the statement of an intellectual who underrates toothaches.”
    —Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

    “In all the wide gamut of human experience, nothing plays so important a part as faith.... Faith that is as broad as the heavens and as wide as the earth. Faith that comprehends in its vast sympathies everything human as well as divine, and carries one with the swift sure wings of the angels directly to his goal.”
    —Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
