We Are Sure the Bible is God's Word
We believe the Bible alone is the Word of God. It is the truth and the only rule for all of life. We believe Jesus Christ, by His death on behalf of His people, paid the price for their sin. His bodily resurrection from the dead has made salvation for His people not just a possibility, but an absolute certainty.
We believe that God is our Creator, Judge and the only Giver of New Life. We believe His Word reveals that all things were made for His honor and that our purpose on earth is to show forth the reality of His sovereign reign, as King over all creation. In so doing, we now experience the greatest joy in Him, which lasts forever.
We believe that the reason so many people do not know joy, peace and freedom from guilt is because of their sin. We believe the Bible teaches that sin is living our lives apart from faith (complete trust) in God.
We believe that sin leads to an attitude of thanklessness and ultimately to eternal death.
We believe that Jesus Christ is God’s solution for His people’s sin. We believe that new and abundant life is only received by faith in Jesus Christ and that this faith is a gift from God given graciously out of His own good will.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to know the One True God. “Jesus Christ is the Way, and the Truth and the Life. No one can come to the Father except through Him.” (John 14:6)
We believe for a follower of Jesus Christ, God works all things for their good & for His own glory. God promised to work all things together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). Therefore, no matter what comes our way in the course of life, we know we are in His good, powerful and perfect care.
We believe life is to be lived on God’s terms, not our own. Life is to be lived for His purposes not ours. In so doing, God has promised a rich, challenging, and rewarding life of great and wonderful fellowship with Him in Jesus Christ and with other people.
