The deliverance, by the grace of God from eternal punishment for sin which is granted to those who accept by faith God’s conditions of repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus.
We affirm our belief in the One eternal God, Creator and Lord of the world, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who governs all things according to the purpose of his will.
We affirm the divine inspiration, truthfulness and authority of both Old and New Testament Scriptures in their entirety as the only written word of God, without error in all that it affirms, and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice.
We affirm that there is only one Savior and only one gospel, although there is a wide diversity of evangelistic approaches. Jesus Christ, being himself the only God-Man, who gave himself as the only ransom for sinners, is the only mediator between God and people. There is no other name by which we must be saved.
We believe in the power of the Holy Spirit. The Father sent his Spirit to bear witness to his Son; without his witness ours is futile. Conviction of sin, faith in Christ, new birth and Christian growth are all his work.
We believe that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Sin is more comprehensive than errant behavior or acts of rebellion, and has fractured all things, leaving the world in desperate need of salvation.
We affirm that the Church’s visible unity in truth is God’s purpose. Evangelism also summons us to unity, because our oneness strengthens our witness, just as our disunity undermines our gospel of reconciliation.
Two-thirds of humanity have yet to hear the gospel. It is time for The Church, as the people of God to act with a sense of urgency to both pray and intentionally launch new efforts to ensure that every man, woman and child has many opportunities to hear, see, and experience the gospel.
We believe that Jesus Christ is returning to the world in the future to judge the living and the dead.
