What We Believe


…that there is only one God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God is the Creator and Sustainer of all.

…that Jesus Christ is the one and only Son of God, born of a virgin, who died for our sins and arose from the dead to demonstrate His Lordship.

1 Corinthians 15:1-8 and John 3:16

…that the Bible is the inspired Word of God –reliable, authoritative, and relevant to guide our lives.

2 Timothy 3:16 and Psalm 119:105

…that all people are tremendously valuable but have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

Genesis 1:31 and Romans 3:23

…that forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life are available only to those who trust Christ as Savior and Lord.

John 3:16

…that those accepting Christ should repent of sin, confess their faith, and be baptized into Him for forgiveness of sins and the indwelling gift of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 10:9 and Acts 2:38

…that the church is the Body of Christ on Earth, is empowered by the Holy Spirit, and exists to lead non-believers to Christ and edify those who are in Christ.

Ephesians 4:1-6

…that Jesus Christ will one day return to Earth to claim His followers and judge the world.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
