7 · Statement of Faith

The Bible is the Word of God, the only infallible and inerrant rule of faith and practice.
There is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Our Lord Jesus Christ is God and man in one person. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, vicariously atoned for sin through His shed blood and death, was bodily resurrected, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will personally return in power and glory.
Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for the salvation of lost and sinful man.
God justifies the sinner on the basis of Christ's righteousness alone, imputed by grace alone and received by faith alone.
Eternal life is received by faith — trusting in Jesus Christ alone for salvation.
The Holy Spirit indwells all true believers and enables them to live godly lives.
Both the saved and the lost will be resurrected — the saved to the resurrection of life, the lost to the resurrection of damnation.
There is spiritual unity of all true believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

I have read and agree with the Statement of Faith above.
