Member Affirmation

Trinity: We believe in the one true infinitely excellent God, who exists in three co-equal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Scripture: We believe that the Bible, consisting of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired and authoritative Word of God.

God the Father: We believe in God the Father almighty, the first person of the triune God, creator of heaven and earth, maker of all things visible and invisible.

Jesus Christ: We believe in Jesus Christ, the second person of the triune God, the only Son of God; he became a human being—incarnated, not created; he was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin named Mary; he lived a sinless life, performed miracles, and preached truth; he died an atoning death, was buried, and on the third day rose again; later he ascended into heaven and now sits at the right hand of the Father.

Holy Spirit: We believe in the Holy Spirit, the third person of the triune God, who indwells every genuine Christian believer, serving as the helper, teacher, guide, and comforter.

Humanity: We believe every human being has been created in the image of God, unique from the rest of creation, therefore, we believe human life is sacred and every human being is worthy of respect regardless of age, gender, race, ethnicity, creed, disability, and socioeconomic status.

Sin: We believe humanity sinned, corrupting its own nature, therefore, every human being richly deserves eternal consequences.

Salvation: We believe all those persons who humbly acknowledge their sin and genuinely place faith in Jesus Christ shall be forgiven by God and be rescued from the consequences that they otherwise deserve.

Sexuality: We believe that sex is a gift from God given to humanity to be practiced within the bounds of marriage; we believe that marriage was created by God to be an exclusive union, between one man and one woman, therefore, any sexual activity outside of this marital framework is sinful.

Evangelism: We believe it is right and good for Christian believers to seek the salvation of unbelieving friends and family, as the Lord gives opportunity.
