FAITH
We believe the Bible alone is our final authority and is sufficient for faith and practice. Since the Bible
is the sole source of God's written divine revelation, it alone can bind the conscience of man. While nature
reveals the glory of God, it is in the Bible alone that we learn of God's eternal plan of redemption through
Jesus Christ and His will for our lives. The Bible is sufficient for equipping believers 'for every good
work' (II Timothy 3:16-17). Therefore, it is the truths of Scripture that determine
how we are to live our lives, individually and collectively.
While accepting the Bible as our final authority, we recognize the value of the great ecumenical and
reformational creeds such as: The Apostle's Creed, Nicene Creed, Baptist Confession of 1689, Westminster
Confession of Faith, Heidelberg Catechism, Canons of Dort, and other like-minded affirmations of the historic
Christian faith.
PRACTICE
Therefore, we place a high value upon training families in the historic
Christian faith. This is accomplished through a commitment to preaching the whole counsel of God and teaching
biblical doctrinal truths with special emphasis upon who God is, what He accomplished in Jesus Christ, and
who we are in Him (Acts 20:27, 32; II Timothy 3:15-17).
