Doctrinal Statement
Statement
One - Scriptures - The Scripture is God's revealed truth in the 66
books of the Old and New Testaments. The Bible is entirely inspired
by God. 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:19-21
Statement
Two - Salvation - Mankind is lost in sin and can only be reconciled
to God through the blood of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the
provision for salvation. Salvation is given by grace alone and as a
gift from God. Once God secures the salvation of those born again,
they are placed eternally in God's family and can never be separated
from Him. Romans 3:23, Ephesians 2:8-9, John 10:27-29, Jude 21-24

Sustainer. He eternally exists as the Trinity, in three equal
persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. I
Corinthians 8:6, Ephesians 1:3-14
Statement
Four - Jesus Christ - Jesus Christ is fully God, incapable of sin,
and always
existing. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of Mary, a
virgin. He rose bodily from the dead and ascended into Heaven where
His is now as our High Priest and Intercessor. John 1:1 and
14, I Corinthians 15:3-4, Galatians 4:4
Statement
Five - Holy Spirit - The Holy Spirit is a divine person, equal and
of the same nature as God the Father and God the Son. He convicts of
sin and of righteousness. He regenerates the believing sinner. He
also indwells, guides, instructs and empowers the believer. John
14:16, John 16:8-11, Acts 5:3-4, Titus 3 :5

is true. Man came by direct creation of God and not by evolution.
Man was created for God's pleasure and exists to bring glory to God.
