What We Believe

Simply stated, we believe, teach, and confess that salvation is in Christ alone–by grace alone, through faith alone, on the basis of Scripture alone.

Scripture Alone: the belief that the Word of God (Holy Bible) is the sole authority and measuring stick when it comes to the faith and life of the Christian Church. (Matthew 22:29; John 17:17; Acts 17:11)

Grace Alone: the teaching of the Bible that salvation is — from beginning to end — completely by God’s grace apart from any good works of man. (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Faith Alone: the teaching of the Bible that only faith can receive the freely-given gifts of God’s grace. (Romans 3:28)

Christ Alone: the teaching of the Bible that salvation is to be found in Christ Jesus and no other. (John 14:6)
