We
believe that the whole Bible is the inerrant and inspired word of God, and
it is our only infallible rule of faith and practice. (2 Peter 1:21)
We
believe that there is only one true and living God, who exists eternally
in three persons--the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three
are one God, equals in power and glory. (Matthew 28:19)
We believe
that because of our sin, we do not deserve God's favor and are not able
to earn it by our own strength. Our salvation is a free gift of
God's grace and love. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
We
believe that a person can come to know God and receive His gift of
forgiveness only by believing that Jesus Christ suffered and died on the
cross for his sins and receiving Him as both Savior and Lord.
(John
1:12, 3:3,
14:6)
We believe
that we are saved and declared "not guilty" before God by faith
alone, and not by our works. Our obedience and good works are a
loving response to God's love for us. (Romans 3:23-25)
