Pierce's statement of faith
The Inspiration of the Bible
We believe the Bible is the verbally inspired Word of God and is preserved for English speaking people in the King James Version of 1611.
The Person of God
We believe God is supreme in His Person, eternal in His being, absolute in His attributes, and glorious in His perfection. We believe in the Trinity.
The Person of Jesus Christ
We believe in the virgin birth of Christ, His Deity, and sinless life, His vicarious death, along with His bodily resurrection and ascension, and in His personal, pre-millennial return.
The Fall of Man
We believe that man was created in the image of God and by choice fell into sin and death. Hence, every person is sinful and under condemnation to eternal judgment.
The Salvation of Sinners
We believe that the salvation of sinners is wholly of Grace, and that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation.
The Freeness of Salvation
We believe that the blessing of salvation are made free by the Gospel, that nothing prevents the salvation of the greatest sinner by his own inherent depravity and voluntary rejection of the Gospel.
The Security of the Believer
We believe that those who receive Jesus Christ as Savior are eternally secure. Our security rests on the finished work of Jesus Christ. As a result, we have assurance.
The Doctrine of the Church
We believe that the visible church is a congregation of baptized believers, practicing New Testament principles, believing its doctrines, observing its ordinances and exercising its autonomy.
The Doctrine of Heaven and Hell
We believe in the eternal blessedness of the saved in Heaven and the eternal punishment of the lost in hell.
