WHAT WE BELIEVE
Our faith is centered on Jesus Christ, grounded in God's Word, and empowered by the Holy Spirit. We believe the Gospel is for every person and that the church is called to reach, disciple and serve our community.
01
THE GODHEAD
There is one God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
02
JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ is eternally God. He was with the Father and the Holy Spirit from the begining and through Him all things were made. He became incarnate by the Holy Spirit through the virgin Mary, lived a sinless lfe, died for our sins, rose again, and will return.
03
THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is God, the Lord, and giver of life. He was active in the Old Testament and was given to the Church in fullness at Pentecost. He empowers believers for service and witness, cleanses us from the old nature, and conforms us to the image of Christ.
04
THE BIBLE
The Bible, containing the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired Word of God. It is the authoritative and infallible revelation of God and provides guidance for faith, doctrine, conduct, and Christian living.
05
SALVATION
Salvation is a free gift of God, based on the merits of the death of His Son and appropriated by faith. Salvation involves repentance, belief in the Lord Jesus Christ, justification by faith, anad personal acceptance of Him into one's life as Lord and Savior.
06
THE CHRISTIAN LIFE
The Christian life is one of consecration, devotion, and holiness. The shortcomings of the individual are because of the still-progressing sanctification of the saints. The Christian life is filled with trials, tests, and warfare against a spiritual enemy. For those who abide in Christ and remain faithful, the promises of eternal blessing in the presence of God are assured.
07
THE CHURCH
The Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God among the saints through the Spirit. Every believer born of the Spirit has a place in the Church and a responsibility to serve. The Church is called to reach people, make disciples, develop leaders, strengthen families, and plant churched that will continue reaching others for generations to come.
08
THE ORDINANCES
The ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper are outward signs of what God has already done in the individual believer. Baptism is the believer's testimony of identification with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Lord's Supper is a commemoration of the death of the Lord and is done in remembrance of Him.
09
THE SECOND COMING
In the bodily, personal, second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, the resurrection of the saints, the millennium, and the final judgment will determine the eternal status of both the saints and the unbelievers, according to their relationship to Jesus Christ.
