Words that Shape Us

C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man

“In a sort of ghastly simplicity, we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.”

John Eldridge, Wild at Heart, Chapter 1, p. 15

"There is a masculine heart and a feminine heart, which bear God’s image. And our Enemy wants to make one an obstacle to the other. He wants to lock up the masculine heart and make it unproductive, impotent. He wants to make it a problem, not a glory."

Pastor Joby Martin

"Our society has forgotten what TRUE MASCULINITY is all about. It's not about driving trucks or having big guns (although that stuff is pretty cool) - it's about surrendering to Jesus, putting on the full armor of God and leading with love."

We believe there is one God who is infinitely perfect, existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe Jesus Christ to be truly God and in His incarnation to have been truly man. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, died for our sins and was raised from the dead for our justification. He is now seated at the right hand of God in majesty, making intercession as our High Priest. He will come again to establish His kingdom of righteousness and peace.

We believe the Old and New Testaments to be the infallible word of God, inerrant as originally given, verbally inspired by God and the complete and sufficient revelation of His will for man’s salvation and conduct.

We believe man was originally created in the image of God. Through disobedience and self-centeredness, he incurred both physical and spiritual death. Thus, all are now born with a sinful nature, separated from God and can be saved only through the atoning work of Jesus Christ. All who are unrepentant, and unbelieving will be lost in a Christless eternity of conscious torment. For those who believe, eternity will be spent in the joy and bliss of God’s presence.

We believe the church consists of all those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. They demonstrate their faith by joining together for worship, prayer, fellowship, the proclamation of the Gospel and observance of the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.

We believe in the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ as both personal and visible. This is our blessed hope and serves as an incentive for holy living and faithful service.
