Scandalous grace is the theological concept that God’s love and forgiveness are so radically unearned, excessive, and freely given that it offends human sensibilities of "fairness"
We can't earn it. We exist to glorify God by exalting Him in personal life and corporate worship, growing in knowledge of Him, edifying others, serving one another, meeting the needs of our local community, and evangel
izing the world. We believe that the Bible is the only authoritative, accurate, and authentic written Word of God for our beliefs and practices (Matthew 5:17-19; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21). We believe that there is only one God in the entire universe, Creator of all things, who is infinitely perfect. God eternally exists as one Being in three co-equal Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 45:5-7; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Ephesians 4:4-6). We believe the Lord Jesus Christ is the only, unique Son of God Who exists as both God and man, Who was born of a virgin, did miracles, and died on the cross to pay God’s judgment for our sins. We believe that three days later the Heavenly Father raised Him both physically and Spiritually from the dead. He ascended into Heaven and will physically return and rule on Earth forever (Matthew 1:18-25; John 20:30-32; 1 Corinthians 15:1-9; Ephesians 4:10; Philippians 2:5-8; 1 Peter 3:18; Revelation 19:1-2:16). We believe that eternal salvation from sin and death comes through repentance and faith in the work of the Lord Jesus Christ apart from any other work (Mark 1:15; Luke 24:46-47; John 3:16; Romans 4&5; Galatians 1-3; Titus 3:5), and that there is no other way to receive forgiveness and eternal life but through the Christ (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Ephesians 4:5; 1 Timothy 2:5). We believe that even though men and women cannot receive salvation by good works, their good works are still pleasing to God and show evidence of a true faith in God and show the Lord Jesus Christ as the genuine Savior of the believer’s life (Matthew 5:17; 7:13-23; Romans 3:20; 2 Corinthians13:5; Galatians 2:16; Hebrews 3:14; 6:16; James 2:18-26; 1 John 2:3-6, 19; 3:7-18; 4:2-20).
