We believe that God created mankind - male and female - in His own image so that we might have fellowship with Him. Mankind was given dominion over the earth and was commanded by God to rule the planet. Under the temptation of Satan, man rebelled against God and His Law, and received God’s righteous judgment. As a result of the fall, mankind is radically depraved, spiritually deceived, morally corrupt, and subject to death. Additionally, creation was plunged into sin, and experiences the consequences and effects of our fall.

We believe that as sinners by nature and by choice, mankind is under the righteous wrath of God and is alienated from his Maker. In this state, people are at war with themselves, with each other, and with God. Due to the fall, mankind, apart from grace, is incapable of pleasing God or even returning to Him. Fallen, sinful people, whatever their character or attainments, are lost and without hope apart from salvation in Christ.
