From Matthew Road Statement of Faith...

We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, God in flesh, fully human, fully God, Maker of all that is made. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, vicarious death, burial, bodily resurrection, and visible ascension into heaven, where He now rules with the Father at His right hand.
