We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity and supreme authority of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory.
We believe without reservation in the full and final inspiration of the Bible, that is the infallible Word of God, and thus the all- sufficient rule of faith and life.
We believe in the reality of final judgment, heaven and hell as taught in the Bible.
We believe in the divine origin and character of the church, and in the restoration of its unity and practice on the New Testament basis.
We believe man is saved by the grace of God through faith. As taught in Scripture, man’s faith involves repentance of sin, confession of faith in Christ, baptism by immersion in water, and a life of faithfulness to Jesus and His Word.
What we believe about
We believe the Bible, inspired by God, is His written word to us. We allow the Bible to define our worldview...what is right and wrong, proper and improper. 2 Timothy 3:16, Psalm 119:105,160.
We believe God is the creator of the world/universe. He has eternally existed and has, over the centuries, made Himself known in 3 distinct ways: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God is characterized by love, holiness, grace, and justice. Genesis 1:1-27; Psalm 8:3-6; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14
We believe that Jesus is the only Son of God, sent as Savior of and to the world. We believe in His deity, virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, atoning death on the cross, and physical resurrection from the grave. We believe He has ascended to heaven and will one day return to take us home. Isaiah 9:6; Matthew 1:22-23; John 1:1-5 & 14; 1:10-30; Acts 1:9-11; Romans 1:3-4; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 1 Timothy 6:14-15; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 4:14-15
We believe in the ongoing ministry of the Holy Spirit in the life of the Christian and the Church; that He comforts, guides, equips, and enables believers for life and ministry. We believe He operates through the Word of God to convert the unsaved and empower the saved, seeking to bring us into Christ-likeness. John 16:7-13; Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 3:17; Ephesians 1:13 & 5:17-18; Titus 3:5-7
We believe that salvation is God's free gift to us, but we must receive it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Salvation comes only through faith in the person and redeeming work of Jesus. It comes to us by God's grace. The process of salvation involves believing in Jesus as Savior, repenting of one's sins, confessing Jesus as Lord, being immersed (baptized) into Christ for the forgiveness of sins and gift of the Holy Spirit, and living a life characterized by His Lordship - obedience to His commands. John 1:12 & 14:6; Acts 2:38-39; Romans 5:1 & 6:4, 23; Galatians 3:26-27; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 3:21
