WHAT WE BELIEVE
THE BIBLE
We believe that the Bible is God’s Word. It is accurate, authoritative, and applicable to our everyday lives.
THE TRINITY
We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy.
JESUS CHRIST
We believe the Lord Jesus Christ, as both God and man, is the only One who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and to empower us for life. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He still heals, performs miracles, and is actively involved in the life of the believer.
ETERNITY
We believe that our eternal destination of either eternal union with God or eternal separation from God is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ.
SALVATION
The blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the only way of salvation through the forgiveness of sin. Salvation occurs when people place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin. Salvation is a gift from God and it cannot be earned through our own efforts.
FORGIVENESS
We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and the “new birth”, we must repent of our sins and place our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
BAPTISM & THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that in order to live the life that God intends for us, we need to be baptized in water and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit enables us to use spiritual gifts, including speaking in tongues. His presence assures us of a relationship with Christ. He guides believers into all truth, and exalts Christ. He convicts people of their sin, God’s righteousness, and the coming judgment. He comforts us, gives us spiritual gifts, and makes us more like Christ.
MAN
We believe that sin separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives. Man was created to have fellowship with God, but became separated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, man cannot attain a right relationship with God through his own effort. Every human is uniquely created, possesses dignity, and is worthy of respect and Christian love.
PRAYER
We believe that prayer is our ability to communicate with God. Through Jesus’ salvation, we no longer need an intercessor to go between God and us; we can address Him directly.
THE CHURCH
We believe in the power and significance of the Church and the necessity of believers to meet regularly together for fellowship, prayer, and holy communion.
THE SECOND COMING
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised.
MARRIAGE
We believe that marriage is a gift from God that is designed for one man and one woman. Sexuality should only be expressed in the context of that marriage covenant.
