Sola Christo - By Christ's Work Alone we are Saved

Sola Gratia - Salvation by Grace Alone

Sola Fide - Justification by Faith Alone

Statement of Faith

We also believe the following:

·We believe that God is the creator of the universe. He is responsible for creating both the seen (physical) and the unseen (spiritual) realms and is the creator and giver of life. We believe the Holy Bible is God's word personally spoken and revealed to inspired writers, by God, to mankind for the purpose of revealing who He is. It is without error in all issues to which it speaks.

·  We believe in the Tri unity of God (Trinity); One God in three Persons, consisting of Father, Son Jesus, and Holy Spirit.

·  We Believe Jesus Christ is Divine God who came from Heaven to mankind as a man yet retaining the Divinity of God and who, while living a sinless life, was rejected and betrayed by man; crucified and die on the cross, yet did not to remain dead was Resurrected the third day in accordance with His Everlasting Divine life.

·  We believe that the death of Jesus on the cross provided complete atonement for all the sins of the world therefore cleansing those who choose to be cleansed from their sin to then receive the free gift of the Holy Spirit. By confessing our sin and believing we become "Born Again" and being Born Again we become the children of God.

·  We believe that Jesus is the judge of the thoughts, intentions, and actions of all mankind. Furthermore, He is just and wise in His judgment. As judge, Jesus will judge the unjust to everlasting condemnation while to the righteous He will give of His life, His gifts, and His glory.

·  We believe Jesus physically rose from the dead, was seen by and interacted with many eyewitnesses including the Disciples and Apostles and that Jesus has now ascended back into Heaven where He originally came from. Jesus is currently seated in Majesty, Power and Authority alongside the Father and He is now accessible to us in both Prayer and Fellowship.

The Nicene Creed

I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.

Who, for us men and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.

And I believe one holy catholic and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
