Statement of Faith

• We believe that the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, fully inspired without error and to be the final authority for faith and practice. Not to be taken from or added to.

• We believe that there is one living and true GOD, eternally existing in three persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

• We believe in the person of Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles and teachings, his atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people and personal, visible return to earth.

• We believe that salvation is by grace alone, by believing in and accepting Christ as personal Savior. Salvation is only through the shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

• We believe in the creation and God as the Creator. We believe that God created man and that He created them male and female and instituted monogamous mar-riage between male and female.

• We believe that marriage has been ordained by God and that He intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other. We believe God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman. Any form of sexual immorality, such as adultery, fornication, homosexuality, bisexual conduct, pedophilia, pornography, and any attempt to change one’s sex or disagreement with one’s biological sex, is sinful and outside of God’s perfect design for the individual. We believe that God offers redemption and forgiveness to all who confess and forsake their sin, including sexual sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ, and that this forgiveness is free and complete.

• We believe that children are a blessing and gift from God. We believe that man was made in the image of God with a soul and set apart from the rest of created life. Although corrupted by sin, mankind are image-bearers of God. Because human beings hold God’s likeness, human life should be considered sacred and must be protected beginning at the point of conception. As an organization we are committed to supporting or-ganizations that hold our convictions regarding the protection of human life.
