Statement of Faith As evangelical Christians, the trustees accept the
revelation of the triune God given in the scriptures of the Old and New
Testaments, and confess the historic faith of the Gospel therein set
forth. The trustees here assert
doctrines which they regard as crucial to the understanding of the faith, and
which should issue in mutual love, practical Christian service and
evangelistic concern. ·
Sovereignty
and grace of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in creation, providence, revelation,
redemption and final judgment ·
Divine inspiration of
the Holy Scripture and its consequent entire trustworthiness and supreme
authority in all matters of faith and conduct ·
Universal sinfulness
and guilt of fallen man, making him subject to God’s
wrath and condemnation ·
Substitutionary
sacrifice of the incarnate Son of God as the sole all-sufficient ground for
redemption from the guilt and power of sin, and from its eternal consequences ·
Justification of sinners
solely by the grace of God through faith in Christ crucified and risen from
the dead ·
Illuminating,
regenerating, indwelling and sanctifying work of God the Holy Spirit ·
Priesthood of all
believers, who form the universal Church, the Body of which Christ is the
Head and which is committed by His command to the proclamation of the Gospel
throughout the world · Expectation of the personal and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ in power and glory |
