We believe it is our purpose to call the church, amidst our dying culture, to repent of its worldliness, to recover and confess the truth of God’s Word and to see that truth embodied in doctrine, worship, and life. In light of this we reaffirm the truths found in the “solas of the faith” of the sixteenth century Protestant Reformation and invite you to affirm them as well.
Sola Scriptura - Scripture alone
We reaffirm the inerrant Scripture to be the sole source of written divine revelation, which alone can bind the conscience. The bible alone teaches all that is necessary for our salvation from sin and is the standard by which all Christian behavior is measured.
Sola Christus - Christ alone
We reaffirm that our salvation is accomplished by the work of the historical Christ alone. His sinless life and substitionary atonement alone are sufficient for our justification and reconciliation to the Father.
Sola Gratia - Grace alone
We reaffirm that in salvation we are rescued from God’s wrath by his grace alone. It is the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit that brings us to Christ by releasing us from our bondage to sin and raising us from spiritual death to spiritual life.
Sola Fide - Faith alone
We reaffirm that justification is by grace alone through faith alone because of Christ alone. In justification Christ’s righteousness is imputed to us as the only possible satisfaction of God’s perfect justice.
Soli Deo Gloria - To God alone be glory
We reaffirm that because salvation is of God and has been accomplished by God, it is for God’s glory and that we must glorify Him always. We must live our entire lives before the face of God, under the authority of God and for his glory alone.
