Statement of faith

●

The Bible, in its two Testaments and 66 books, is the inspired Word of God and the infallible authority for faith and life

●

One God in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit

●

Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human; born of a virgin, He lived without sin, died as an atoning sacrifice, rose, ascended, intercedes, and will come again

●

The Holy Spirit is a divine Person who convicts, grants faith and new birth, indwells and sanctifies the believer, and gives gifts to build up the Church

●

Humanity is created in the image of God but has sinned, yet remains the object of God’s love and bears His dignity

●

Salvation is a free gift based on the work of Christ, experienced through repentance and faith

●

The Church is the community of believers for worship, discipleship, proclaiming the Gospel, and serving society

Bodily resurrection: to life or to judgment
