Beleives

We believe the Bible is divinely inspired by God and is the final authority on all issues pertaining to the Christian's life.

We believe that God exists eternally in three persons -- Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe that God created everything to worship Him.

We believe man chose to be alienated from God by sinful disobedience.
However, God, because of His divine grace, chose to pursue avenues by which His original, perfect relationship with mankind might be reconciled. This ultimately led God to demonstrate his love for us by willingly compressing all his power and glory into the form of a human being so that

we might be able to identify with Him.

We believe this Messiah is Jesus.

We believe that Jesus was born of a virgin, was tempted as all humans are yet lived a sinless life and voluntarily paid the price for our sin by dying on a cross in our place.

We believe death's grip could not hold Jesus because he rose from the grave and now stands as the only mediator between us and God. Jesus spans the gap between our sinfulness and God's holiness.

We believe that all humans choose to sin and are in need of salvation. This salvation comes to man as a free gift, from God, out of His gracious love. Man accepts that gift by having an active faith that is obedient to God's commands.

We believe that all believers must follow Jesus' example and command to be baptized (immersed) as a symbol of the forgiveness and salvation they have received and to demonstrate their total adherence to God's will.

We believe that, after Jesus ascended into heaven, God left the believers with His Holy Spirit to work in the world to draw people to Christ. And, once they believe, that Holy Spirit lives within them to secure their relationship with God and transform their life into the image of Christ.

We believe the Holy Spirit provides every believer with a ministry of Christian service in the church and that he will provide the gifts to fulfill that ministry and make it effective.

We believe that Jesus will return to earth to reward those who have been faithful unto death with a crown of life.
