The bible

God’s unchanging word canot be chained.

The Bible is the inerrant, infallible Word of God and the final authority for my faith and life. 

2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:16-21; Matthew 5:17-18; Luke 24:27; 2 Timothy 2:9

God

God alone is worthy of my worship.

There is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—Who created the world in 6 literal days and upholds and governs all the universe.  

Genesis 1:1 & 26; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22; Isaiah 42:8; James 2:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Isaiah 43:3; I John 5:7

MAN

I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I am here to know God and make Him known.

Each person has been purposefully created in God’s image with a specific gender to bring Him glory. All of human life from conception to death has value and should be upheld and protected. God has designed marriage as a sacred union between one man and woman to reflect His relationship with the church. 

Genesis 1:26-27 & 2:24; Matthew 19:4-6; 1 Corinthians 6:9 & 7:2; Ephesians 5:22-32; Psalm 139:13-16; Isaiah 49:1; Jeremiah 1:5; Matthew 22:37-39; Romans 12:20-21; Galatians 6:10; Deuteronomy 22:5; Romans 1:26-27

I am a sinner who needs God.

Man is separated from God because of sin, but God in His grace has freely offered forgiveness through Christ. 

Genesis 1:27; Genesis 2:16-17; Genesis 3:6; Ephesians 2:1-3; Romans 3:9-10;
Psalms 51:5; John 3:36; Romans 5:12-14

SALVATIon

Without Jesus, I am Lost.

Because we are born in sin, we need a Savior. Hell is a literal place of eternal suffering and the ultimate destination of those who fail to repent of their sin and confess Jesus is Lord. 

Matthew 10:28; Matthew 25:46; Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 21:7-8 

Jesus died on the cross to save me from sin.

When we repent of our sin and trust Christ as our Savior, we receive the gift of salvation and are sealed by the Holy Spirit. We are welcomed into God’s family and enjoy eternal joy in heaven with God.  

Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 5:6-10; Galatians 3:13; 1 Peter 1:18-19; 1 Peter 2:24; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 5:1; John 17:17-19; 1 John 3:2; Romans 8:30; John 5:24; John 10:27-30; Romans 8:28-39; 1 Peter 1:3-5; 1 Timothy 4:10

eternity

Jesus is coming back to make all things new.

At the end of the age, Jesus Christ will return to earth to defeat the enemy and finish His work of redemption. Our Faithful and True Victor will establish His millennial kingdom and wipe away all sin and sorrow forever.   

Titus 2:13; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 John 2:28; Jude 1:14; Revelation 19:11-16; Revelation 20:1-3; Revelation 21:1-5

Jesus will ultimately defeat sin and death forever.

There will be a resurrection of both the believing and the unrepentant: those who have confessed faith in Christ will enjoy eternity in heaven, and those who have failed to turn from their sin will experience eternal punishment. 

John 5:28–29; 1 Corinthians 15:12-58; Revelation 20:10-15; Psalm 16:11

This Statement of Faith does not exhaust the extent of my beliefs. God’s inspired and infallible Word stands as the authority of all that I believe, and I seek to align my life and ministry to His unchanging Truth.
