MArCH Statement of Faith

  1. We believe the Holy Bible is the inspired and infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God in its original form and constitutes complete and final revelation. No other text is equal to or greater than The Holy Bible. The Holy Bible, in its original autograph, is without error in whole and in part and cannot be added to or taken from (II Timothy 3:16, II Peter 1:19-21, Matthew 5: 17-18, Revelation 22:18-19).
  2. We believe there is only one true God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who created all things in heaven and on Earth, including all human life (Genesis 1:1-28; 5:1-2; John 10:30. 37-38).
  3. We believe Jesus Christ was God come in human flesh, being fully God and fully man. We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His substitutionary atonement and propitiating death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:35; John 2:11, 11:25; Acts 1:11; Romans 3:25; Colossians 1:14; Hebrews 4:15. 7:25, 9:12; 1 John 2:2, 4:10; Revelation 19:11:16).
  4. We believe that man was created in the image of God but fell into sin, and is therefore sinful by nature and is lost, and that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential and an absolute necessity for his salvation (John 3:16-19; Romans 3:23; Ephesians 2:18-19; Titus 3:5-6).
  5. We believe salvation is offered as a gift, free to the sinner. This gift must be responded to in individual faith, not trust in any personal works (Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:1-10, 2 Corinthians 5:14-21).
  6. We believe in the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is able to live a godly life (1 Corinthians 6:19-20; Ephesians 4:30, 5:18).
  7. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost–they who are saved unto eternal life and they who are lost unto eternal damnation. Salvation is offered as a free gift from God, free to the sinner. This gift must be responded to in individual faith and repentance, not trusting in any personal works whatsoever, but in the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ alone. (John 5:28-29, Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:1-10, II Corinthians 5:14-21). 
  1.  We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of this unity, we believe that our joy is complete and encouraged by being like-minded and of the same attitude as that of Christ, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Each believer should look not only to self-interest, but more so to the interests of others, and should do nothing out of selfish ambition, but in humility consider others better than self (Romans 8:9, I Corinthians 12:12-13, Galatians 3:26-28, Philippians 2:2-15). 
  2. We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary sexes reflect the image and nature of God. Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person (Genesis 1:26-27; Matthew 19:4).  
  3. We believe that all human life is sacred and created by God in His image. Human life is of inestimable worth in all its dimensions, including pre-born babies, the aged, the physically or mentally challenged, and every other stage or condition from conception through natural death. We are therefore called to defend, protect, and value all human life (Psalms 139; Luke 12:6-7). 
  4. We believe the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. We believe that marriage between one man and one woman, for life, uniquely reflects Christ’s relationship with His bride, the redeemed people of God. We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other. We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman (Genesis 2:18-25; Ephesians 5:21-33; 1 Corinthians 6:18; 7:2-5; Hebrews 13:4). We believe that any form of sexual immorality (including adultery, cohabitation, fornication, homosexual behavior, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, or use of pornography) is sinful and offensive to God (Matthew 15:18-20; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10). 
  5. We believe children are given by God as a stewardship to the parent and not the state and that parents have the wherewithal and authority to teach and educate their own children (Proverbs 22:6; Deuteronomy 6:6-7; Ephesians 6:4, Malachi 2:15, Psalms 127 3-5).
  6. We believe all men are created equal, regardless of race, nationality or ethnic origin (Romans 2:11, Acts 10:34-35, James 2:1-4, Galatians 3: 26-29). 
  1. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Galatians 3:26-28).
