Affirmation of Faith (approved by congregational vote on 10/15/00)
We have placed our faith wholly in the Lord Jesus Christ for our salvation and believe in the Holy Scriptures as the inspired Word of God and the final authority in all matters of faith and doctrine. We believe in God the Father, God the Son, our Lord Jesus, and God the Holy Spirit. We believe in the virgin birth and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. We believe that the Bible culminates in Christ. He is the crown of the whole, all doctrine must be seen in the light that shines from him. We believe salvation is by grace through faith and repentence, not by works. We also believe that, in Christ, we are created to do good works which God prepared in advance for us to do. We believe in the priesthood of all believers, called to love and serve God, to bear witness to Jesus Christ, and to minister to each other in love. We believe in the resurrection of the body and life everlasting, with conscious blessedness for the saved and conscious banishment for the lost.
