C.H.O.I.C.E.

Statement of Faith

• We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
  
• We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary and is true God and man.
  
• We believe that God created the universe and all that is in it.
  
• We believe in the Biblical teaching that humans were created by a direct act of God and not from previously existing forms of life; and that all people are descended from the historical Adam and Eve, first parents of the entire human race.
  
• We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice; and that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood.
  
• We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into Heaven, and His present life there for us, as High Priest and Advocate.
  
• We believe that all who receive the Lord Jesus by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit, and thereby become children of God and are eternally secure in Him.  Ephesians 2:8, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God..."
  
• We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the lost.
  
• We believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God and it is our final authority in faith and life.
