We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.  He is the second person of the Trinity and is co-equal with the Father.  Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless human life, and offered himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by dying on the cross.  After three days, he rose from the dead to demonstrate His power over sin and death.  He ascended to Heaven and sat at the Father’s right hand, actively interceding in the believer’s prayers.  He will return again to earth to restore and renew the earth and reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Matthew 1:22,23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5, 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14-15;

The Spirit of God is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ.  He lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation.  The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God.  He indwells and empowers Christians to live in God’s will, understand spiritual truth, and remind them of God’s love.  He gives every believer spiritual gifts and empowers their everyday life.

2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13, 14:16-17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16;

The Bible is the very Word of God. Human authors wrote it under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.  It is the source of all truth and purifies and energizes the life of the believer.

2 Timothy 1:13, 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Psalms 119:105, 160; Proverbs 30:5

We believe that men and women are created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him. All people have value and were created with plans and a purpose.

Genesis 1:27; Psalms 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a, 59:1-2; Romans 3:23

Salvation is a gift of God to man given by grace. Only by believing in Jesus Christ through faith as God’s sacrifice for sin can mankind receive forgiveness and be saved from sin’s penalty, which is separation from God. Eternal life and the realization of God’s Kingdom begin the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.

Romans 5:1, 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 1:12, 3:16, 10:29, 14:6; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; 2 Timothy 1:12; Hebrews 7:25, 10:10, 14

We believe that God gives us eternal life through the completed work of Jesus Christ on the cross. The believer is secure in that salvation for eternity. Salvation cannot be lost or forfeited. It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives us this security.

John 10:29, 2 Timothy 1:12, Hebrews 7:25, 10:10, 14

We believe the church is the Body of Christ, the family of God made up of every Christian on earth. It is expressed through local congregations of Christians. It is a place filled with the potential of life transformation through the proclamation of God’s word and lives expressed in worship to Him. The Holy Spirit empowers Christians to use their gifts in reaching non-Christians with God’s salvation message and in helping each other grow spiritually. The church is led by humble, transparent Pastors and Elders living in accountability to the guidelines of scripture.

Acts 2; 1 Corinthians 12; Ephesians 2:19, 4:11-13

We believe that people were created to live forever.  We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation.
