What We Believe

God

We believe that God is eternal, three persons in One: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Jesus

We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless perfect life, His death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, and that He is presently sitting at the right hand of God the Father.

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, whose indwelling enables the Christian to lead a godly life, and whose baptism provides power for service.

The Bible

We believe that the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God and that men were moved by the Spirit of God to write the very words of Scripture. Therefore, we believe the Bible is without error.

Lord’s Supper

We believe in the table of the Lord, commonly called Communion or the Lord’s Supper for believers.

Christ’s Return

We believe in the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ in power and glory to receive His church unto Himself.

Mankind

We believe that mankind was created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him but became alienated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, man is incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through his own effort alone.

Salvation

We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sin. Therefore, salvation occurs only when people place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin.

Christians

We believe that every Christian should live for Christ and not for himself. By obedience to the Word of God and daily yielding to the Spirit of God, every believer should mature and be conformed to the image of Christ.

The Church

We believe that the church is the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head. The members of the church are those who have trusted by faith in the finished work of Christ. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving Him and by making Him known to the lost world.
