statement of faith
Theology
We believe in one Almighty God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, who made all that is seen and unseen. We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, who died and rose again, conquering death and redeeming man from sin. He offers eternal life to all who believe in Him. We believe in the Holy Bible, which is the inspired word of God, providing a guide for life. (Gen. 1:1, John 1:1-14, 2 Tim 3:16-17)
Sanctity of Life
We believe ALL human life is sacred and created by God in His image. Human life is of inestimable worth in all of its dimensions, including pre-born babies, the aged, physically and mentally challenged, and every other state or condition from conception to natural death. Therefore, we are called to defend, protect, and value ALL human life. (Ps. 139)*
Marriage
We believe marriage is an institution ordained by God and that it is a life-long covenant between one man and one woman. It is a picture of God’s covenant relationship He has with all true believers. (Gen. 2:18-24)
Sexuality & Gender Identity
Although human sexuality is part of God’s design for human beings, the Bible restricts all consensual sexual activity within the bounds of marriage. In addition, the Bible specifically prohibits any form of sexual activity between persons of the same sex, polygamy, incest, bestiality, adultery, and fornication—including pornography. (Gen. 1:28, Heb. 13:4, Rom. 1:26-27, Matt. 19:4-6, 1 Cor 7:11, Lev 18:6-18, Exod. 22:19, Lev. 18:23, Exod. 20:14, 1 Cor. 6:9-10, 1 Thess. 4:3-8)
We believe God created two genders: male and female, and that the individual gender is determined at conception. We believe that to intentionally alter one’s physical gender or to live as a gender other than the one God assigned at conception is a rejection of God’s right as Creator and a personal rejection of His plan to glorify Himself in the individual. (Gen. 1:26-27, Ps. 139:13-16)
Social Changes
We believe that the 10 Commandments given to man by God plainly explain man’s proper relationship to God in the first five commands and man’s proper relationship to man in the latter five commandments. As we, as individuals, follow God’s commandments, we will be not only honoring God but respecting our fellow man as well. Today’s fads of BLM, CRT, etc. are distractions from following Jehovah’s 10 commandments and keeping our focus on Him. (Exod. 20:2-17, Deut. 5:6-21)
*This statement of faith does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe.
