Statement of Beliefs

Each staff member is required to review and support the Impact Statement of Beliefs:

• We believe that there is one God eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 1:1-3; Psalm 139; Matthew 28:19)
• We believe that the Bible is God's written revelation to man and that it is inspired, authoritative, and without error in the original manuscripts. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, Isaiah 40:8)
• We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, death on the cross to provide for our redemption, bodily resurrection and ascension into heaven, present ministry of intercession for us, and His return to earth in power and glory. (2 Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 2:5-11)
• We believe in the personality and deity of the Holy Spirit, that He performs the miracle of new birth in an unbeliever and indwells believers, enabling them to live a godly life. (1 Corinthians 12:13; 1 Corinthians 2:10-13)
• We believe that man was created in the image of God, but because of sin, was alienated from God. That alienation can be removed through God’s grace alone by faith alone in Jesus Christ, apart from works. (Ephesians 2:1-10)
• We believe that Christ died on the cross as a substitute for sinners. God imputed the guilt of our sins to Christ, and He, in our place, bore the punishment that we deserve. This was a full payment for sins, which satisfied both the wrath and the righteousness of God, so that He could forgive sinners without compromising His own holy standard. (Isaiah 53:6; Isaiah 53:12; Romans 3:25; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 3:13; Hebrews 10:1-4)
