We believe in THE CREATION AND FALL OF MAN. We believe that the universe and man were both directly created by God in six literal days, apart from any process of evolution. Man is not the product of an animal ancestry but made in the divine image1. man became a sinful creature and the progenitor of a fallen race by personal disobedience to the revealed will of God2. This results in the human race being universally sinful in both nature and practice3, alienated from the life and family of God4, and have within themselves no possible means of recovery of salvation5. That being said, we believe that God’s judgement and wrath are righteous in all of this6.
