Statement of Faith

The Bible

We believe the Bible is the Word of God. Every word in the original writings is inspired by God and is without error.

God

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, each of whom possess equally all the attributes of Deity and the characteristics of personality.

Jesus Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ is God’s Son. He was miraculously born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died to atone for the sins of human beings, was buried, bodily arose from the grave, ascended into heaven and will personally return to establish His kingdom on the earth.

The Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Godhead, convicts people of sin, regenerates, baptizes, indwells, seals, and empowers believers for holy living and for service.

Human Beings

We believe that human beings are the special creations of God, made in His image. They are born with a sinful nature resulting in their being separated from God and in need of His forgiveness and grace.

Salvation

We believe salvation is the gift of God. It is received by admitting our need for forgiveness of sin, placing our trust in Christ as the only means of salvation and receiving His Lordship of our lives.

The Church

We believe the church is a local body of believers with the Lord Jesus Christ as the Head. The church exists to worship and serve God, encourage believers in their spiritual growth and share the good news of God’s forgiveness  with all people.

Baptism

We believe baptism is an act of obedience for the believer. It is by immersion after salvation and is done in obedience to Jesus Christ’s command. Baptism identifies the believer with Christ’s death and resurrection and with the church, His body.
