We Believe:
WE BELIEVE that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and is without error. (II Timothy 3:16)
WE BELIEVE that there is only one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1: 1-2) (Isaiah 9:6) (John 3:16)
WE BELIEVE that the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sins, and salvation occurs when a person places his/her faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as the sufficient payment for one’s sin. (Colossians 1:14) (Ephesians 1:7) (John 3:16) (John 10:9)
WE BELIEVE that Jesus Christ is the head of the church. The purpose of the church’s body is to glorify God by loving Him with heart, mind, and soul and to make Him known to a lost world (Matthew 22:37) (Matthew 28:19)
WE BELIEVE marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment according to biblical standards.(Genesis 1: 26-28) (Genesis 2:18, 21-24) (Ephesians 5:22-33)
WE BELIEVE that Gospel transformation occurs through COMMUNION (embracing a deeper intimacy with God by connecting with him through prayer, worship, and the Scriptures), COMMUNITY (extending Christ’s love into all our relationships as we each become more and more like Jesus), and COMMISSION (engaging the mission of Christ by sacrificially using our Spirit-giftedness, resources, prayers, and time to reach others for His Kingdom).
