Our Beliefs
We believe the Bible to be God's inerrant, inspired Word.
We believe that there is one true, holy God, eternally existing in three persons:
-
God (Creator)ā¦ is our heavenly Father, infinitely perfect, and intimately acquainted with all our ways.
-
Jesus Christā¦ our Lord, very God who came in human flesh ā the object of our worship and the subject of our praise
-
Holy Spiritā¦ the third member of the God-head, at work convicting, convincing, and comforting.
We believe that because of sin, man is without hope of heaven, apart from the new birth, made possible by the Saviorās death and bodily resurrection ā those accepting Jesus Christ should repent of sin, confess their faith, and be baptized.
We believe the church is the body of Christ on earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit and exists to reach the lost, worship God, be in community with Godās family, help people change to be like Christ, and serve others in Jesusā name.
We believe that Jesus Christ will one day return, which could occur at any moment ā and He will reign forever as King of kings and Lord of lords.
We believe that all who have died will be brought back from beyond ā believers to everlasting fellowship with God and unbelievers to everlasting separation from God.
