what we believe

ABOUT THE SCRIPTURES

We believe the Bible is God’s special, direct revelation of Himself to man. The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and preserved Word that is authoritative and relevant in all matters of faith and practice.

ABOUT GOD

We believe in one true God, who exists eternally in three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit: Each of whom is fully and equally God; possessing all of the Divine nature and attributes, and is worthy of our worship and service.

ABOUT Jesus Christ

We believe Jesus Christ is the second person of the triune God, the eternal Son of God. By His death, burial, and resurrection He secured humanity’s redemption.

ABOUT the Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy is the third person of the triune God. The Holy Spirit draws the lost to Jesus Christ and ministers to the believers.

ABOUT HUMANITY

We believe that humanity was created in the image of God but, through sin, was alienated from God, thus incurring both physical and spiritual death. Man is now totally unable to save themselves from God’s wrath, except by way of God’s mercy through Jesus Christ.

ABOUT SALVATION

We believe that Jesus Christ became flesh to reveal God to man, and through his perfect life and sacrificial death, atoned for the sins of humanity, alone, for salvation. Therefore, God freely offers salvation to those who place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as a sufficient payment for their sin.

ABOUT THE CHRISTIAN LIFE

We believe that all Christians should live for Christ and not for themselves. By obedience to the Word of God and daily submitting to the Holy Spirit, every believer should mature and be conformed to the image of Jesus.

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 Jesus.
