What We Believe

The Bible

 We believe the Scriptures, both the Old and New Testament, to be the inspired Word of God, without error in the original manuscripts, and the final authority on matters related to sound doctrine and godly living.

The Godhead

We believe in one true God who created all that exists and that He is infinitely powerful and perfect, and eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit.

Man, Sin and Death

We believe that man was created in God’s image; male and female. However, man’s willful disobedience to God’s command (sin) resulted in mankind’s condemnation and alienation from God (death), rendering it impossible for man to know and please God apart from the enabling of the Holy Spirit. 

The Person of Jesus Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ is the living Word of God, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, and is therefore both wholly God and wholly man.

The Life and Death of Jesus Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ lived a sinless life, performed miracles attesting to His deity, was crucified on a cross on our behalf, subsequently died and was buried therefore satisfying God’s justice and accomplishing our salvation.

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ rose bodily from the dead after having died on a cross, subsequently ascending into heaven, and now sits at the right hand of God the Father where He continually intercedes for His people.

The Return of Jesus Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ will one day personally and visibly return to earth with great power and glory as the King of kings and Lord of lords to execute judgment upon His enemies and to provide redemption for His people.

The Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit is actively at work convicting people of their sin, moving them to repentance, drawing them to Christ, regenerating them, sealing their adoption, indwelling them, and empowering them to live godly and fruitful lives.

Salvation and Eternal Life

We believe that salvation from eternal damnation, reconciliation with God, and the gift of eternal life can only come from trusting completely in Christ’s death and resurrection on our behalf and not as the result of any human merit, good works, or religious ceremonies on our part.

Reconciliation with God

We believe that those who embrace Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior have been given the right to become children of God, have been reconciled in their relationship with God, and may, therefore, enjoy a peaceful and secure relationship with Him as well.

The Institution of Marriage

We believe that marriage, according to God’s purpose, as revealed at creation and affirmed in the New Testament by our Lord Jesus Christ, is the God-ordained joining of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive, union in which the two become one flesh.
