Summary Statement of Beliefs
We believe that all History, salvation, redemption and consummation begins with God.  We believe in the Triune God.  There is one God, yet there are Three Persons who share the One Being of God, namely the Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit.  

SCRIPTURE ALONE
We believe that the Bible alone is the God-breathed, authoritative and innerant word of God and is the final authority in all matters of faith and doctrine.

CHRIST ALONE

We believe that Jesus Christ, is the Word of God incarnate.  He was born of a virgin named Mary, lived a sinless life and was betrayed, crucified and died.  He was then buried and after three days, was physically raised from death.  He ascended to Heaven and all authority is given to Him.  We believe that Jesus is the only mediator between God and men and that Jesus is the only way of salvation.

GRACE ALONE
We believe that man is steeped in original sin and is dead in sin.
We believe that God will judge all men at an appointed day according to righteousness through Christ.
We believe that unless God grants spiritual life, man cannot and will not believe unto salvation.

We believe in the Person and Power of God the Holy Spirit who's primary function is to point lost people to Jesus Christ.  We believe that unless God grants spiritual life, man cannot and will not believe unto salvation. 

FAITH ALONE
We believe that it is by faith alone in the Person and work of Jesus Christ, apart from any works, that man lays hold of salvation.  We believe that all parts of salvation including faith are the free gift of God given as He pleases.

GLORY OF GOD ALONE
We believe that Jesus Christ will return physically and gather His people. 
We believe that God will judge all men at an appointed day according to righteousness through Christ.
We believe that every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the Glory of God the Father.
We believe that all things, good and evil, mercy and judgment are all in God's hands and redound to His glory.

We affirm the historic creeds, Nicene Creed, Athanasian Creed, the Apostles' Creed which are summaries of our beliefs
We affirm the Belgic Confession, the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Heidelberg Catechism.


We stand in agreement with The Chicago Statement of Biblical Inerrancy and the Danvers Statement of Biblical Manhood and Womanhood.
