We
believe
that all men are sinners and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). |
 |
We
believe that salvation from sin and death is the comforting free
gift of God, given by grace through faith alone (Ephesians 2:8-9)
in Jesus Christ alone (John 14:6). |
| |
 |
We
believe that the Bible is the final authority on faith and life
-- that it is a magnificent and unique document, truly inspired
by God through human writers, and is without error in the original
manuscripts (2 Timothy 3:16-17). |
 |
We
believe that the Bible has answers for today's problemsthat
every man, woman, or child will benefit by getting to know Christ
(Hebrews 13:8). |
 |
We
believe that good works are a natural result of an authentic saving
faith (2 Corinthians 9:8, James 2:26). Thus being
a Christian leads one to be a blessing to society (Mark 12:31),
to influence it (Matthew 5:13-16), to be enthusiastic (Romans 12:11),
and to bring others the good news of the gospel (Matthew 28:19-20). |
 |
We
believe that the Christian faith is not mere blind faith but faith
in evidence (Acts 1:3), which should be explained lovingly
to others (1 Peter 3:15). |
