We believe the basic tenants of the 'Christian Faith' that is codified by the 'Apostles Creed', which are amplified in the Statement of Faith and listed below:

The Doctrinal Inerrancy of the Bible: The Bible has been translated many times since the invention of the printing press and translated by Monks before that time. We understand that man may have introduced minor errors (like spelling or punctuation) that do not diminish the Historic Bible. These manuscripts were written by over 40 authors in four original languages (Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic and Chaldean) on three continents over the course of a thousand years with crystal clear doctrine that does not contradict itself. The prophetic precision of detail is self-evident in the light of the Science of Archaeology in terms of place, people, events and time; and the ancient historical records. These manuscripts are available to us today in versions like the NIV or NASV or the beauty of the King James Bible (2 Timothy 3:16 and 2 Peter 1:21).

The Virgin Birth: The Prophets described the 'Virgin Birth', the timing and location of that birth, to such a degree that an ancient person living at the time could have been present for the birth of the Messiah (Isaiah 7:14, Daniel 9, Zechariah 9:9 and Micah 5:2). Matthew and Luke tell the Christmas account in the Gospels (Matthew 2:1f and Luke Chapters 1 and 2).

The Deity of the LORD, Jesus Christ: Jesus Christ is the Second Person of the Godhead—Father, Son and Holy Spirit (John 1:1-17). His bloodline by genealogy declares that He is of the Royal Davidic Family through both His Stepfather--Joseph and Mother--Mary (Matthew 1:1f and Luke 3:23-38). He fulfilled the Law and the Prophets and the Psalms as the God-man, or the Theanthropos (Luke 24:44).

The Sinless Life: From conception to death, Jesus Christ remained without sin; Original Sin or otherwise. He had to be perfect to be the 'Lamb of God' who takes away the 'Sin of the World' (Hebrews 7:28, John 1:29).

The Application of His Word to our Lives and Prayer: We follow His example to guide us through this life by seeking the 'Will of God' through the Scriptures and prayer; and the renewing of our minds (Matthew 6:10, 7:21, Colossians 1:9, and Romans 12:2).

The Return of Christ: God cannot bear false witness because of His moral attributes. Christ said He would return (Luke 21:25). The Old Testament prophets like Joel and Isaiah, as well as New Testament witnesses, like 'John the Beloved', saw down the corridor of time and the events that would transpire in the season of the Second Advent. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the capstone of our faith (Luke Chapter 24). He is alive and will return for His 'Bride' according to a time table that is unknown and a mystery that only the Father knows (Mark 13:31-32).

The Establishment of the Millennial Kingdom: Jesus Christ defeated Satan and his minions at the cross (Colossians 2:14). Darkness has been judged by God, but the sentence has not yet been enforced. We can rely on the fact that Satan's doom is sealed (Revelation 20) and the LORD will make all things new (Revelation 21).
