Member Affirmation of Faith

We believe in the one true infinitely excellent God, who exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe that the Bible, consisting of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired and authoritative Word of God.

We believe in Jesus Christ, the second person of the triune God, the only Son of God; he became a human being—incarnated, not created; he was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary; he lived a sinless life, performed miracles, and preached truth; he died an atoning death, was buried, and on the third day rose again; later he ascended into heaven and now sits at the right hand of the Father.

We believe human life is sacred and that every human being has been created in the image of God, unique from the rest of creation; therefore, every human being, born and unborn, possesses dignity and is worthy of respect regardless of age, gender, race, ethnicity, creed, disability, and socioeconomic status.

We believe each person has sinned and for such actions every human being richly deserves eternal consequences; however, every person who humbly acknowledges their sin and genuinely places faith in Jesus Christ shall be forgiven by God and shall be rescued from the consequences that they otherwise deserve.

We believe the Holy Spirit indwells every genuine Christian believer, serving as the helper, teacher, guide, and comforter.

We believe that sex is a gift from God given to humanity to be practiced within the bounds of marriage; we believe that marriage was instituted and ordained by God to be an exclusive union, between one man and one woman, therefore, any sexual activity outside of this marital framework is sinful.

We believe it is right and good for Christian believers to boldly and winsomely seek the salvation of unbelieving friends and family, as the Lord gives opportunity.
