BIGTIME STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe that the Bible is the inerrant, infallible, and inspired authoritative Word of God. God’s Word is true and trustworthy. The Holy Spirit guided men to write the Bible and superintended its coalescing in the canon of divine Scripture. (Proverbs 30:5, II Timothy 3:16)
We believe that God exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:26, Matthew 28:19)
We believe in the deity and humanity of Jesus Christ; in His virgin birth, in His sinless life; in His miracles; in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood; in His bodily resurrection; in His ascension to the Father’s right hand; and in His personal return to earth in glory and power. (Isaiah 9:6, John 1:1, 14, 20:28, I Timothy 2:5,3:16, Philippians 2:5-6)
We believe that God created man in His own image by a direct and immediate act. (Genesis 1:26-27, Genesis 2:7)
We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. We are sinners who are in desperate need of saving. Christ is the only way to be forgiven from sins and reconciled to God the Father. (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 10:9-10, John 14:6. John 3:16)
We believe in the sanctification process through the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is empowered to live a Godly life. (II Corinthians 3:18, Hebrews 2:11)
We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. There is one Church universal comprised of many local churches. We hold a high view of the church as the bride and body of Christ. (Ephesians 2:19-22, John 17:11)
