The Gospel and the Triune God
We rejoice in the grace of the Triune God, who has forgiven
our sins and given us redemption in Jesus Christ. We proclaim the Gospel
of Jesus Christ, fully human and fully divine, who became incarnate from
the Virgin Mary, lived a life of perfect obedience to his heavenly
Father, who died on the cross to atone for the sins of the world, and
rose bodily in accordance with the Scriptures. God the Holy Spirit draws
us to faith in Jesus Christ, through whom alone we are justified and
found acceptable by God the Father.
Christian Obedience
We confess Jesus as the Lord
to whom all authority in heaven and on earth has been given by the
Father. We commit ourselves to follow him and love him above all else
and to conform our lives to his example and teaching by the grace of the
Holy Spirit.
Holy Scripture
We believe all scriptures were
“written for our learning” (Romans 15:4), that they are “God’s Word
written,” and that we are to “hear, read, mark, learn, and inwardly
digest them.” We commit ourselves to regular Bible study and to preach
and teach only that which is in accordance with Holy Scripture.
Congregational Life
We hold corporate worship,
discipleship, and mission to be interconnected and indispensable aspects
of our response to God as he revealed himself to us in Jesus Christ. We
are committed to being sacrificially involved in all three aspects of
congregational life.
Mission and Missions
The Risen Lord commissioned his disciples to preach the
gospel and to follow his commandments. The mission of the Church
includes both evangelistic proclamation and deeds of love and service.
We commit ourselves and our resources to this mission, both here in the
city of Cheyenne and to the uttermost parts of the earth. We affirm our
particular responsibility to know, love and serve the Lord in this city.
Since the biblical pattern of witness moves from the local to the
global, we will endeavor to be well-informed about our community and
active in church planting, evangelism, service, social justice and
cross-cultural, international mission, with particular concern for the
poor and the unreached peoples of the world. |
