Doctrinal Statement
As Approved
by the Congregation September 24, 2006
1. We
believe the Bible to be the inspired, only infallible
authoritative Word of God.
2. We believe that there
is only one God, externally existent in three persons:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe in the deity of 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 God, in His personal return on
Power and glory.
4. We believe that for the salvation of lost and
sinful humanity, regeneration
by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ
is absolutely essential.
5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy
Spirit through the exercise of the
Spiritual gifts in the Body of Christ.
6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved
and the lost; that they are saved
unto the resurrection of life and that they are lost
unto the resurrection of
damnation.
7. We believe in the spiritual unity and the
priesthood of all believers in the Lord
Jesus Christ.
Church Covenant
Having been led, as we believe, by the Spirit of God to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior, and on profession of our faith, having been baptized in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, we do now in the presence of God, angels, and this assembly, most solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with one another, as one body in Christ. We engage therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, to walk together in Christian love; to strive for the advancement of this church in knowledge, holiness, and comfort; to promote its prosperity and spirituality; to sustain its worship, ordinances, discipline, and doctrines; to contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the ministry, to expenses of the church, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the Gospel through all nations.
We also engage to support family and private devotions: to religiously educate, our children, to seek the salvation of our family, friends, and community; to be just in our dealings, faithful in our engagements and exemplary in our behavior.
Purpose
United by the grace of God as
disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, we purpose as a
church
to obey the Great Commission of our Lord Jesus Christ as
commanded in
Matthew 28:19.
“Therefore go and make disciples
of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father,
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to
obey everything I
have commanded you.”
We obey this command as we Point People to Jesus through:
-Reaching ministries that
confront people with the Good News of the Gospel in
corporate and individual witness.
-Teaching Ministries that
strive to equip the Body of Christ to grow in wisdom and
knowledge of the Lord through the study of Scripture and the
practice of the spiritual
gifts, and spiritual disciplines.
-Celebrating ministries that focus on creative worship and fellowship.
-Serving ministries that strive to meet physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
