God

We believe and confess that God is sovereign over all his

creation, and that from all eternity God in his wisdom, love,

goodness, and holiness ordained whatsoever comes to pass.

Gen 1:1; 50:20; Ex. 15:18; Neh. 9:32-33; Psa. 93;

115:3; 145:7; Dan. 4:34-35; Matt. 10:29-31; Acts

15:18; Rom. 8:28-30; Eph. 1:11; 1 Tim. 1:17; James

1:17.

We also believe in the Trinity. There is one God who exists

eternally in three Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy

Spirit. These three are one God, the same in substance, equal

in power and glory.

Deut. 6:4; Isa. 44:6; Mark 1:10-11; Matt. 28:19; John

1:1, 14-15; Acts 5:3-4; 1 Cor. 8:4,6; 2 Cor 13:14; Eph 2:18.

Jesus

We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who

became man and lived and died and rose again to atone for

the sins of those who trust in Him alone for their salvation.

Matt. 1:23; John 1:1-18; Rom 9:5; Phil. 2:5-6;

Col 1:15-17; 2:9; 1 Tim. 2:5; Heb 1:1-12; 2:14-17.

Man

We believe that God created Adam and Eve in knowledge

righteousness and holiness. Adam and Eve broke God's law,

and the guilt of their sin was imputed to their offspring. All

people are sinners and therefore guilty before God and totally

unable to save themselves or even cooperate with God in

efforts to earn their salvation.

Gen 3:6-8; 6:5;1 Kings 8:46; Psa. 51:5; Jer. 17:9;

John 6:44; Rom 3:9-23; Eph. 2:1,5; Col 2:13.

The Bible

We believe that the Bible is the written Word of God, inspired

by the Holy Spirit and without error in the original

manuscripts. The Bible is our infallible and divine authority in

all matters of faith and life.

Psa. 19:7-11; John 17:17; 20:31; 2 Tim. 3:16;

2 Pet 1:19-21; 1 John 5:9 Rev 22:18-19.

Salvation

We believe that salvation is by God's action alone, who

sovereignly chooses out of the fallen race of mankind those

whom He will save. God alone saves the people whom He

draws to Jesus by His Holy Spirit. He convinces them of their

sin and enlightens them so that they repent of their sins and

trust in Jesus Christ as He is offered in the Gospel. Because

God alone knows who are His, we call on people everywhere

to repent and to trust in Jesus Christ.

Acts 13:48; Rom 8:7-9; 9:9-16; 1 Cor. 2:14; 2 Cor.

3:3,6; Eph. 2:5,8; Titus 3:5 Heb. 9:28; 1 Pet. 1:3-5.

Creeds and Confessions

We subscribe to the historic Christian faith as summarized in

the Westminster Standards (the Westminster Confession,

The Westminster Shorter Catechism, and Westminster

Larger Catechism)
