We believe the Bible is the inspired and inerrant Word of God, that Jesus Christ is the grand theme of its message, that salvation is wrought by the atoning blood of Christ alone through the convicting, regenerating power of the Holy Spirit. We are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, by the power of God alone and to the glory of God alone.
We desire as a church to stand fast in one spirit, that we may with one mind and with one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Preaching repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was made sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. (2 Corinthians 5:21).
“The gospel lays man in the dust, and places God on the throne! It places man as a sinner, at the sovereign disposal of God. It will yield nothing to man's pride, and pays no compliment to man's supposed goodness or abilities.
The gospel is a proclamation . . .
of peace by the blood-shedding of God incarnate;
of a full, free, and complete salvation--for all who truly believe on His name;
of a glorious inheritance, an everlasting kingdom, and a crown of glory--as a free gift for the vilest of men!
Or in other words, the gospel is the good news of pardon, peace, protection, and everlasting life--for all who are willing to receive and enjoy them!” ( adapted from James Smith, "Rills from the Rock of Ages", 1860)
Mar 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
We wholeheartedly confess that salvation is of the Lord. God has declared His glory in the heavens, making all men responsible before Him. He further has declared His glory in His Word, to man's conscience and through His church. God hath commanded all men everywhere to repent, to believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
2 Corinthians 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
We stand upon the shoulders of those who have gone before us, we affirm the “five solas” as essential doctrines of the faith: Sola scriptura (Scripture alone), Sola fide (faith alone), Sola gratia (grace alone), Solus Christus (Christ alone), and Soli Deo gloria (glory to God alone).
We also believe, love, and teach the Doctrines of Grace: Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Efficacious Atonement, Efficacious Call, and the Perseverance of the Saints.
