From Matthew Road Statement of Faith…

We believe that God in His infinite mercy, through the substitutionary death of Christ, reconciles to Himself every person who receives the gift of salvation by repenting of their sins and believing in the atonement of Jesus Christ for sin. This is the only means of salvation. Humans, being dead in sin, are made alive by the power of the Holy Spirit, whereby they are enabled to exercise this faith and be justified by God.
