WE BELIEVE… THE CHURCH

We believe that the true church is composed of all persons who, through saving faith in Jesus Christ, have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit are united together in the Body of Christ, of which He is Lord and Head, and are commissioned for the God-given task of proclaiming the gospel to every person. Only those who are members of the true Church shall be eligible for membership in the local church. Every local church has the right, under Christ, to govern its own affairs.

WE BELIEVE… GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT

We believe the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, and during this age to convict, regenerate, seal, indwell, guide, instruct, and empower for life and service.  He has given spiritual gifts for the functioning of the Church to each believer.

Eternal Generation of the Son

The Son is said to be “begotten” of the Father, a relationship traditionally described as “eternal generation.” This means that the Son eternally proceeds from the Father, not as a creation, but as a necessary and eternal relationship within the Godhead. The Son is of the same essence as the Father and has existed eternally.

The Procession of the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is said to “proceed” from the Father (and also from the Son in Western Christian theology). This procession is distinct from the Son’s generation and refers to the Holy Spirit’s eternal relationship with both the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit’s procession is often seen as a mysterious aspect of the Trinity that underscores the unity and distinction among the three Persons.

The Ontological Trinity

The term “ontological” comes from the Greek word ontos, meaning “being” or “essence,” and in this context, it deals with the essential nature of God as three Persons in one substance.

The “Ontological Trinity” refers to the understanding of the Trinity that focuses on the nature and being of God, particularly in how the three Persons of the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—relate to one another within the Godhead.

The Economic Trinity

The term “economic” comes from the Greek word oikonomia, meaning “management” or “arrangement,” and in this context, it describes how God’s triune nature is revealed and operates in the world. The “Economic Trinity” refers to the way the three Persons of the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—relate to creation and carry out their roles in the history of salvation.

God the Holy Spirit…

  • proceeds from the Father (and the Son)
  • bears witness about the Son
  • is the Helper
  • convicts the world
  • guided the apostles into all the truth
  • glorifies the Son
  • was active in the creation
  • inspired the Scriptures
  • regenerates sinners
  • baptizes those who believe into the body of Christ
  • seals believers
  • guarantees the believer’s inheritance
  • enlightens believers
  • indwells believers
  • will raise the mortal bodies of believers
  • leads the believer into righteousness
  • gifts the believer for service
  • intercedes for the believer

WE BELIEVE… SCRIPTURE

It is the inspired, authoritative, inerrant Word of God.

WE BELIEVE… THE TRINITY

There is one God who eternally exists in three co-equal, co-eternal, consubstantial Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

WE BELIEVE… GOD THE FATHER

We believe the Father originally manifested Himself to man as the Creator of all things who interacts with His world through providence.  He is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.  All who follow Christ are spiritually begotten by the Father.  We are taught to direct our prayers to the Father through Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. 

Eternal Relationships and Roles within the Triune Godhead

Eternal Generation

Eternal generation describes an eternal relationship in which the Son is begotten, not made, by the Father. The Son has no beginning or end, and is of the same essence as the Father, sharing the same divine nature.

It is that eternal and necessary act of the first person in the Trinity, whereby He, within the divine Being, is the ground of a second personal subsistence like His own, and puts this second person in possession of the whole divine essence, without any division, alienation, or change.   Louis Berkhof

God the Father…

  • is the Father of the unique, only begotten Son of God
  • loves sinful people and gave His Son to save them

God the Father…

  • continually works to sustain and redeem His creation
  • wills the works of the Son
  • loves the Son and shows Him what He Himself is doing
  • raises the dead and gives them life
  • gave judgment to the Son
  • sent the Son
  • has life in Himself
  • has granted the Son to have life in Himself

God the Father…

  • is glorified by the works of the Son
  • sends the Holy Spirit

God the Father…

  • is the spiritual Father of His spiritual children
  • will make His children like the Son

God the Father…

  • is our heavenly Father
  • rewards those who seek Him
  • knows what we need before we ask
  • desires our worship and petition

God the Father…

  • has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in Christ
  • chose us to be holy and blameless in Christ
  • predestined us for adoption as sons in Christ

Our doctrinal statement emphasizes God the Father as…

  • Creator
  • providential Sustainer
  • God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
  • spiritual Father of His spiritual children
  • the One to Whom our prayers are directed

The Anvil by John Clifford

Last eve I passed beside a blacksmith’s door,
And heard the anvil ring the vesper chime;
Then, looking in, I saw upon the floor,
Old Hammers, worn with beating years of time.

“How many anvils have you had,” said I,
“To wear and batter all these hammers so?”
“Just one” said he, and then, with twinkling eye,
“The anvil wears the hammers out you know.”

And so, thought I the anvil of God’s Word,
For ages sceptic blows have beat upon;
Yet, though the noise of falling blows was heard,
The anvil is unharmed – the hammers gone!

WE BELIEVE…

We believe the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the Divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.

The Word of God is…

  • inspired

Dr. Charles Ryrie:  Biblical inspiration is the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit whereby He superintended the human authors of Scripture so that, while using their own personalities and writing styles, they composed and recorded without error God’s revelation to man in the words of the original manuscripts.

The Anvil by John Clifford

Last eve I passed beside a blacksmith’s door,
And heard the anvil ring the vesper chime;
Then, looking in, I saw upon the floor,
Old Hammers, worn with beating years of time.

“How many anvils have you had,” said I,
“To wear and batter all these hammers so?”
“Just one” said he, and then, with twinkling eye,
“The anvil wears the hammers out you know.”

And so, thought I the anvil of God’s Word,
For ages sceptic blows have beat upon;
Yet, though the noise of falling blows was heard,
The anvil is unharmed – the hammers gone!
