Every person has worth as a creation of God, but all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)
The Bible is the inspired Word of God - a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path.
(2 Timothy 3:16; Psalm 119:105)
Forgiveness of sin and the promise of eternal life are available to those who trust Christ as Savior. (John 3:16; Acts 16:31)
Going Deeper
The Bible:
The Bible is the basis for our belief as a church.
The Bible is uniquely God inspired, without error, and the final authority on all matters on which it bears.
God:
There is one God, eternally existing in three persons-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit-each possessing all the attributes of deity.
God created humans to have fellowship with Him.
Sin:
Humans sin against God by thinking, saying, and doing what displeases God.
As a result, we need God’s saving grace to end our separation from God.
Salvation:
Salvation comes through God’s grace alone in Jesus Christ alone.
One cannot be saved by human effort.
Salvation is an act of repentance and faith.
Jesus:
Jesus Christ lived a sinless life on earth
Jesus voluntarily paid for our sin by dying on the cross as our substitute.
This accomplished salvation for all who receive grace by trusting in Jesus alone for salvation.
Jesus rose from the dead and is the only mediator between people and God.
Jesus will return to earth one day.
