Tricia’s Statement of Faith
The Bible is God’s verbally inspired Word. It is inerrant and the standard for faith and practice (II Tim. 3:16).
Jesus Christ is the virgin born Son of God and He is coming again (Matt. 1:23; Gal. 4:4; I Thess. 4:13–18).
We believe that Jesus is the Christ promised in the Scriptures; the Son of God; Fully God; Fully Man.
Salvation is by grace through simple faith in what Jesus did on the cross (Eph. 2:8–9).
Each man is a sinner and needs to be saved (Rom. 3:23).
You may receive Christ today by believing on Him in your heart and calling upon the Lord (Rom. 10:13).
The earth was created by God in six literal days (Ex. 20:8–11).
Discipleship in the home is not only necessary and essential, but it is also mandated in the Scriptures (Deut. 6:7).
