Basic Beliefs
Humble Orthodoxy
Confessions, doctrines, ideologies and statements come in many shapes and sizes but should all exist for one primary reason:
To point past themselves to the ultimate reality of the Triune God
When these statements or expressions terminate on themselves they become obstacles toward our chief aim of eternal life, knowing God. Therefore, our purpose in our basic beliefs is twofold:
– Provide an occasion for worship of and wonder at the triune God.
– Provide unity and protection to the church through clarity
“And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.” Colossians 3:14
Basic Beliefs
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
