Statement of Faith/Theology:

View of GOD.

• God is holy, just, and righteous

• We must seek to express His communicable attributes

View of SCRIPTURE.

• Inspiration – The Holy Bible is “God-breathed” (II Tim.3:16; II Peter 1:20-21)

• Inerrancy – The Holy Bible contains no errors. God conveyed divine truth to divinely chosen individuals (Ps.19)

• Authority – The Holy Bible tells me what I must do.

• Sufficiency – The Holy Bible is totally sufficient for every circumstance. (II Peter 1:3-4; Ps.119; II Tim. 3:17; Heb.4:12)

• Relevancy – The Holy Bible is totally relevant for every situation. (Ps.19; II Tim.3:17; Ps.119:105; Isaiah 40:8)

View of MAN.

• Mankind, apart from God, is totally depraved.

• On his own, he cannot do good (Romans 3:10-18)

• His heart is deceitfully wicked (Jer.17:9-10)

• His goal in life is selfishness and evil (Genesis 6:5)

• Because of sin, he seeks to glorify only himself (Romans 3:23)

View of the CHURCH.

• The purpose of the Church is to worship and glorify God

• The Church is designed to be a repository of divine truth.

• The Church must hold to a context of loving fellowship and edification.

• The Church must be a training center where people can grow and utilize spiritual gifts.

• The Church is to be a light in this dark world, for the evangelization of the lost.

Biblical View of LEADERSHIP.

• Model the character of Christ for the flock

• Adequately equip their people to do the work of the ministry

• Provide ample opportunity for them to do this work
