Our Authority: Scripture Alone
We hold Scripture, the word of God, to be inspired, inerrant, authoritative, complete, and sufficient as the only conscience binding authority of man. It reveals the character of God to men and serves as an absolute guide into all
truth necessary for life and godliness. Through it Christ rules His church and equips it for every good work.
Our Message: Grace Alone
We hold that the message of the gospel is a message of grace. Grace is the unmerited favor of God by which He redeems sinners. The Holy Spirit through the proclamation of the gospel message, which is good news for all them
that believe, regenerates the heart bringing it to repentance and faith in the all sufficient grace of God. In this gospel message of grace God alone is savior and in this way fulfills His eternal purpose in bringing glory to Himself alone.
Our Confidence: Faith Alone
We hold that man lays hold of this gospel by faith alone. Faith is the gift of God, not a work of man and is God’s means of justifying sinners and making them right with Himself. Our only hope before Almighty God is trusting Him
and forsaking all self will and effort.
Our Focus: Christ Alone
Based on the fully righteous life and atoning death of the Lord Jesus Christ, God justifies the one who has faith in Him. Christ, and Christ alone is the ground of the believer’s justification before a holy God. We hold that the focus of redemption, life and eternity is Christ and Christ alone. Our sole aim is to please Him by seeking Him with all that we are.
Our Purpose: The Glory of God Alone
We hold that the purpose of the church universal and local, as well as the purpose of the individual believers that make her up, is the continual seeking of the glory of God alone in all that she does. “For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.” (Rom 11:36)
