We believe in the inerrant Holy Scriptures which proclaim the triune God...Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We praise and worship God for the sacrifice He made for our sins through the death, burial, and resurrection of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. We rejoice in knowing that it is by God’s grace through faith that we are saved and given eternal life. We humbly acknowledge that the Holy Spirit testifies with our spirits that we are the children of God. We acknowledge that we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which the Father prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Our heart’s desire is to bear witness to the glory of God and to salvation in Christ Jesus. Our desire is to please Him and to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which we have been called. We praise God for the Holy Spirit who comforts us and counsels us and who has gifted us to build up the body of Christ. We praise God for the fellowship of believers, and recognize that we are called to love one another fervently from the heart. By the Holy Spirit’s help, we long to forsake our own critical spirits, unforgiveness, pride, and selfishness, and choose to think more highly of others than we do ourselves, practicing longsuffering (patience). We desire to embrace a pure and undefiled manner of communication. We desire to speak only such words as are good for the building up of others according to the need of the moment, that we may give grace to those who hear us. We desire to bear one another’s burdens, visit the widows and orphans, and help the weak. We gladly affirm before God, “Thy will be done.” We consider it an unspeakable privilege to be bondservants of the Holy one of Israel. We bow at His feet and humbly devote ourselves to His eternal purposes in Christ Jesus.
