HOLY
SCRIPTURES
We
believe Scripture, in its entirety, to be the verbally inspired Word
of God, written by men in God's control, inerrant
and infallible, in the whole and in the part, in all areas (including
creation, science, geography, chronology, history, and in all other
matters in which it speaks) and is the complete and final authority for
faith and life. (1 Thessalonians 2:13; Hebrews 11:13; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2
Peter 1:20,21; Psalms 19:7-9; Revelation 22:18-19).
CREATION
We
believe in the Biblical account of the creation of the universe in six
literal, solar days; (Genesis 1:1-31; Exodus 20:11; John 1:3; Colossians
1:15-19; Hebrews 11:3).
THE
GODHEAD
We
believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit—who are identical in essence, equal in power and glory, and
possess precisely the same attributes and perfection (Deuteronomy 6:4;
Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22; Romans 5:12-24; 1 John 5:7).
THE
CONDITION OF MAN
We
believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, in
innocence and without sin. Because of Adam's sin, we inherited a sinful
nature, becoming spiritually dead and alienated from God, and are justly
condemned to eternal damnation without defense or excuse (Genesis 1:26;
3:1-24; Romans 3:10-18; 5:12,19; Ephesians 2:1-3).
SALVATION
We
believe that salvation is the gift of God's grace given to all who believe
on the Son and we cannot earn it (Ephesians 2:8-9).
HOME
EDUCATION
We
believe it is our responsibility to pour the foundation of God’s Word
into our children’s daily lives from the time they wake ‘til they
sleep, so that when they are grown they will go from depending upon us,
their parents, to depending on God. (Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Proverbs 1:7;
9:10; 22:6; 2 Timothy 3:14-17)
