Statement of Faith

1. We appeal to the Bible as our final authority and guide because we believe it is God's infallible Word to humanity, uniquely inspired by the Holy Spirit.

2. We believe in one true God, creator of all things, and that He has revealed Himself as the Triune God—Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

3. We believe that Jesus Christ was God come in the flesh, sent to die for humanity's sin; that He rose again bodily from the dead; that He ascended into heaven; is coming back again as Lord and King to judge all people.

4. We believe that humanity, although originally created in God's image, has sinned deliberately disobeying a Holy God, resulting in alienation from God.

5. We believe that humanity's reconciliation to God was made possible through the death of Jesus Christ, and to avail oneself of this, one must through God's grace repent of sin and believe in Jesus Christ.

6. We believe that humanity has one of two eternal destinies—the believer to abide with God forever, the unbeliever to suffer separation from God forever.

Because of this:

1. We believe that someone who has responded to the love of God, as revealed in Jesus, will make efforts to extend and share that love with others. "He that does not love, does not know God; for God is love." (I John 4:8)

2. We believe that the good news of Jesus Christ and His love is to be extended in word and in deed to all persons of society, including the men and women in prison (Matthew 25:36, Hebrews 13:3), for God is no discriminator of persons.

3. We believe Christians must learn to love regardless of the outcome, even as Christ loved. (Matthew 5:44-48)
