We are committed to the AUTHORITY OF SCRIPTURE which is inspired, inerrant and infallible, and is our only rule of faith and practice.
- 2 Timothy 3:16-17
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.
- 2 Peter 1:20-21
...knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carrried along by the Holy Spirit.
We are committed to TEACHING THE WORD OF GOD so that all who hear, from the youngest to the oldest, might fear God, walk in His ways and love Him with all their heart, soul, mind and strength.
- Deuteronomy 10:12-13
And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD, which I am commanding you today for your good?
- 2 timothy 4:1-4I
charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.
We are committed to the DOCTRINES OF GRACE, as we relate to God and as we live with one another, and we affirm that we are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
- Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
- Romans 3:23-24...
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
We are committed to MARRIAGE as a life-long covenant, and we will work to protect, preserve and grow the marriages in our church.
- Matthew 19:5-6
Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together let not man separate.
We are committed to the FAMILY, and we will assist parents in bringing up their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
- Deuteronomy 6:6-7
And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
We are a MISSIONS-MINDED CHURCH, committed to sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth.
- Matthew 28:19-20
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
