WE BELIEVE Jesus Christ died, according to the Scriptures, in our stead and for our sake, bearing the penalty of our sins, absorbing and satisfying the wrath of God against us, canceling the record of debt against us, disarming and triumphing over the devil and his demons; we believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into heaven, and in His present life there for us as the reigning Lord, High Priest, and Advocate.
We believe in the existence of Satan and his angels, who were created good, but rebelled against God and were cast down from heaven to earth, awaiting everlasting punishment in the Lake of Fire, having already been defeated by and subjected to Jesus Christ. We also believe that our first parents sinned by rebelling against God’s revealed will and thereby incurred God’s righteous judgment, both physical and spiritual death; that because of Adam’s disobedience, all human beings were constituted sinners; that as a result, all human beings are born spiritually dead in sin, alienated from the life of God, slaves to sin, unable to submit to God apart from grace, by nature children of wrath.
We believe God created the heavens and the earth and everything in them out of Himself, not by what is visible, but by His spoken word and for His own glory.
We believe in one sovereign, almighty, all-knowing, all-sufficient God, eternally existing in three equally divine Persons: The Father, His only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, and the Holy Spirit, the Giver of life.
