A Statement of My Personal Faith

I affirm my confidence in God's inerrant Word. I treasure its truths and I respect its reproofs.

I acknowledge the Creator-God as my heavenly Father, infinitely perfect, and intimately acquainted with all my ways.

I claim Jesus Christ as my Lord--very God who came in human flesh--the object of my worship and the subject of my praise.

I recognize the Holy Spirit as the third member of the Godhead, incessantly at work convicting, convincing, and comforting.

I confess that Adam's fall into sin left humanity without the hope of heaven apart from a new birth, made possible by the Savior's death and bodily resurrection.

I believe the offer of salvation is God's love-gift to all. Those who accept it by faith, apart from works, become new creatures in Christ.

I anticipate my Lord's promised return, which could occur at any moment.

I am convinced that all who have died will be brought back from beyond--believers to everlasting communion with God and unbelievers to everlasting separation from God.

I know the Lord is continuing to enlarge His family, the universal Body of Christ, over which He rules as Head.

I am grateful to be a part of a local church which exists to proclaim God's truth, to administer the ordinances, to stimulate growth toward maturity, and to bring glory to God.
