BASIC DOCTRINAL DESCRIPTION: (click here for Statement of Faith)
►We are Conservative & Bible-believing, holding to the Fundamental Doctrines of the Christian faith.
►We are Reformed, as regards the Doctrines of Sovereign Grace, and the Five Solas of the Reformation.
►We are a New Covenant People, emphasizing the new reality and dynamics of being “in Christ.”
►We are Evangelistic, extending the free offer of the Gospel to all, as we have or make opportunity..
►While we believe absolutely in the literal, personal, and glorious return of Jesus Christ, we allow great latitude of differing perspectives as to the details of end-time prophecy (eschatology).
►Our view of holiness and sanctification does not focus on external legalistic standards, but on the inner working of grace in the believer’s heart through consistent intimacy with Christ.
TRANSLATIONS
►The pastor teaches & preaches mostly from the New King James version, and the underlying Greek Textus Receptus or the Majority Greek Text.
►While occasionally stating the reasons for these preferences, we do not make or allow translations to be a divisive issue in the church.
MISSIONS:
►We are very missions focused, currently deeply involved in South Africa, Pakistan, and Mexico.
►We believe in partnering closely with missionaries, not just sending money to a missions board.
►We believe in earnestly seeking the guidance and wisdom of Christ through the Holy Spirit and Providence in selecting missionaries and mission projects.
POLITICS
►While we believe that all Christians, as salt & light to the world, should prayerfully involve themselves in all aspects of our society and nation, as a Church we are not politically focused.
►This does not preclude the teaching of a biblical perspective on any or all socio/political issues.
