When you board an airplane, prior to departure an announcement is made that clearly identifies where that plane is going. This is to confirm that you are on the right plane. The Tabernacle’s Statement of Faith is, in essence, a declaration of where we are going as a church. The following statements are the foundation of all the Church’s ministries and efforts. Though this is not an exhaustive list of our beliefs, the Bible is the sole and final source of all we believe.

​

• We believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God, inerrant and the final authority for faith and life.

• We believe in one God who eternally exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

• We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God and was born of a virgin, Mary, in order to redeem sinful man.

• We believe Jesus accomplished this redemption through His death on a cross.

• We believe salvation is made sure by Jesus’ literal, physical resurrection from the dead.

• We believe Jesus ascended to Heaven and will return to earth someday.

• We believe man was created in the image of God; but is born with a sinful nature and therefore is separated from God and in a lost condition.

• We believe salvation is the gift of God brought to mankind by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

• We believe the only legitimate marriage is a legal bond between one original gender man and one original gender woman, and the gift of sexual intimacy is only acceptable within the marriage relationship.

• We believe every Christian is entrusted to support their local church financially through tithes and offerings.
