Our Beliefs

*The Bible is the inspired Word of God and the source of Christian beliefs.

*There is one living and true God, maker of heaven and earth, eternally existing in three persons: The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

*Jesus Christ is God’s son. He was born to the virgin Mary, led a sinless life, and was our substitute on the cross where he shed his blood for the forgiveness of our sins. He died, was buried, was bodily resurrected, ascended into heaven, and will someday visibly return to the earth.

*The Holy Spirit empowers Christians to live in a way that is pleasing to God and to fulfill the purpose he has for our lives.

*We believe that the Holy Spirit fills the believers with supernatural abilities - the gifts of the spirit.

*Even though people were created in God’s image, we sinned by nature and by choice and became alienated from God. We are incapable of becoming right with God through our own efforts. Our only hope of forgiveness, rightstanding with God, and the assurance of living for eternity in heaven is putting our faith only and completely in Jesus Christ.

*Water baptism and communion are outward expressions of an individual’s commitment to live for Jesus Christ.

*The church is made up of all who have put their faith in Jesus Christ.

*The church should be unified in loving God, loving one another, and making him known in the world.
