What We Believe
We believe in the verbal inspiration and authority of the Scriptures.
We believe that the Bible reveals God, the fall of man, the way of salvation, and God’s plan and purpose for the ages.
We believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
We believe that Christ died for our sins and that salvation is “by grace” and "through faith."
We believe that men are justified by faith alone and are accounted righteous before God only through the merit of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
We believe in the visible, personal, and premillennial return of Christ.
We believe in the everlasting conscious blessedness of the saved and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost.
