Our Statement of Faith

Bible
We believe in the inspiration and authority of the Bible as the word of God (not recognizing any one translation as the only inspired translation), which is the complete revelation of His Will for the salvation of men, and the Divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.

God
We believe God is the sovereign Creator of all things, who is sinless, and eternally exist in three distinct persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ as true God and perfect man, offered Himself as a sinless, substitutionary sacrifice for a lost human race and was physically resurrected from the dead to show that His redeeming work was perfectly accomplished.

Holy Spirit
We believe in the Holy Spirit, and that He has given to men, certain spiritual gifts.  We believe that all men should desire these gifts and we welcome in our worship, the spirit-led expression of these gifts.

Man
We believe that God originally created man in His image yet man rebelled against Him; resulting in a state of spiritual separation from God therefore man’s only hope to be reconciled with God is through Jesus Christ and his redeeming work.

Salvation
We believe that salvation (eternal life with God) is entirely a free gift of God’s grace. It is acquired through personal trust in Christ’s redemptive work, and that it becomes an eternal possession of all who are truly born again by the Holy Spirit through faith.

Baptism
We believe in baptism by immersion in water as a first step of obedience upon believing in Christ.

Church
We believe that the Church is a universal organism composed of all who are united by faith to Christ however; it is through the local church that God’s purposes are fulfilled in the world today.

Obedience
We believe in the laying on of hands, the anointing of oil, and the Table of the Lord as ordinances of the church as commanded by Christ and demonstrated by his apostles.

Second Coming
We believe that Jesus will return in bodily form to redeem His bride, resurrect the dead, Judge the fallen world and establish His eternal kingdom.
