Statement of Faith

God

We believe that there is only one true God, existing in three distinct Persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—who are co-equal in power, nature, and glory.

Bible

We believe that the Holy Bible, consisting of sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, is the uniquely inspired Word of God. It serves as our blueprint for life and faith, having been written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit so that its words are fully reliable and without error in the original manuscripts.

Salvation

We believe that faith alone in Jesus Christ alone guarantees everlasting life to whoever believes in Him for it. God's free gift of everlasting life, secured through Jesus' death and resurrection, can never be lost—once saved, always saved. If this life could be lost, Jesus would have chosen a different word than everlasting or eternal in verses such as John 3:16, 5:24, and 6:47.

Works

We believe that good works are our grateful response—not our required payment. We serve and produce good works because we've been saved, not to get saved. Like a river flowing downhill, good works move naturally from a heart filled with grace.

Local Church

We believe that the local church is the primary, divinely ordained vehicle for God’s work on earth. Scripture describes the local church as the Body of Christ, where every member is vital and supernaturally gifted for the common good, and the Household of God, which serves as the pillar and foundation of the truth.

We reject a detached or "lone ranger" Christianity, recognizing that spiritual maturity and protection are found under the loving oversight of elders and through the mutual accountability of a local flock, as we together fulfill the Great Commission to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19-20).

If you have not found a local church, we recommend an initial search of the churches listed on Grace Evangelical Society's church tracker webpage.
