What We Believe...

We believe… that the Bible is the Word of God, supernaturally inspired, so that it is without error, our only guide to salvation and godliness.

We believe…that God exists in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit- and that these three are co-equal and one with God.

We believe…in God as creator and ruler of the universe.

We believe…that God, by His sovereign choice out of love for mankind, sent Christ into the world to save sinners.

We believe…that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin and that He lived a sinless life, worked many miracles, that He was crucified, died as a penalty for our sins and was raised from the dead on the third day.  Later He ascended into Heaven from where he is coming again to this earth to set up His millennial kingdom.

We believe…that in His death, by His blood, the Lord Jesus Christ made a perfect atonement for sin and men are saved and justified because of the shed blood.

We believe…that salvation is entirely apart from good works, baptism, church membership or man’s efforts and is of pure grace.

We believe…that a true believer is eternally secure, that he cannot lose his salvation, but that sin may interrupt the joy of his fellowship with God and bring the loving discipline of his Heavenly Father.

We believe…that all who receive Christ become joint-heirs with Christ, at death their spirits depart to be with Christ in conscious blessedness and at the rapture their bodies will be raised to the likeness of the body of His glory and dwell forever in his divine presence.

We believe…that the goal of every Christian should be to grow to spiritual maturity through obedience to the Word of God and the indwelling Spirit.

We believe…that the Holy Spirit is a person, is God and possesses all the divine attributes. He indwells all believers, baptizes and seals all believers at the moment of our salvation and fills them in response to confession of sin and yielding to His will.

About God
We believe in one God who exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ is the second member of the Trinity (the Son of God) who became flesh to reveal God to humanity and to become Savior of the world.

About Humanity
We believe that all people were created in the image of God to have fellowship with him but became alienated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, people are incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through their own efforts.

About Salvation
We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sin. Therefore, God freely offers salvation to those who place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin.  There is no salvation apart from personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord.

About the Christian Life
We believe all Christians should live for Christ and not for themselves. 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.

About 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 the finished work of Christ and have been baptized by immersion. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving him and by making him known to nonbelievers.
