Our Beliefs

God

There is one God, creator of heaven and earth, eternally existent in three persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), the same in essence and equal in attributes.

The Bible

This triune God has revealed Himself in the Bible which He inspired. As originally written, the Bible is inerrant and complete.

Jesus

Jesus Christ in the flesh was both God and man, born of a virgin, and sinless. He died as a penalty for our sins and was raised from the dead bodily on the third day. Later, He ascended to the Father’s right hand in heaven, where He is head of the church and intercedes for believers, and from where He is coming again, personally and imminently.

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit convicts people of sin, convinces them to believe in Jesus Christ, and converts those who believe. He makes them new creatures in Christ, incorporates them into the body of Christ (the Church), and seals and indwells them until the day of redemption. When Christians acknowledge their own inadequacy and by faith yield to His control, He gives them power for victorious living and service.

Salvation

A Christian is one who acknowledges they are a sinner, has repented of their sin, believes that Jesus Christ died as the only atonement for their sin, and has received Him by faith into their life to be Savior and Lord as the only way into reconciliation with God. To know God in this way is to have eternal life.

The Local Church

The local church is God’s vehicle for developing spiritual maturity, responsible freedom, fellowship among Christians, and equipping them to share the Gospel to the world.

Satan

Satan is the primary adversary of God, of His work, and of His people, but is always under the controlling restraint of God.

Eternity

There is a resurrection of both the Christian and the non-Christian: the Christian to the resurrection of life and the non-Christian to eternal separation from God.

Follow Jesus

Nothing you’ve done or will do can disqualify you from the love God has for you. (Romans 8:38-39) It is because of His great love for us that He sent Jesus, His one and only Son, to die for us and pay the debt we owed because of our sin. And through His resurrection, He secured victory over sin and death, giving us the gift of eternal life.

Through Jesus, we are made new. (2 Corinthians 5:17) No matter what we’ve done, we can begin again! We can experience a life full of hope and significance in Christ as we begin to live according to His Word.

Salvation cannot be earned through our own efforts. It is given freely to anyone who confesses with their mouth and believes in their heart that Jesus is Lord and raised Him from the dead. (Romans 10:9)

#1 Recognize

  • Recognize that you are a sinner in need of a Savior, understanding that there is nothing you can do in your own effort to earn the free gift of salvation.

#2 Repent

  • Ask for the forgiveness of your sins and living a life apart from God.

#3 Believe

  • Believe that Jesus died and rose again to pay the debt you owed and to give you new life in Him.

#4 Commit

  • Commit to growing in your faith and honoring Christ through your actions as you journey to become more like Him each day.
