The Bible

We believe that the entire Bible requires our unreserved submission in all areas of life. All of scripture, Old and New Testaments, is uniquely and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit and is the supreme and final authority on all matters of faith and practice.

jesus christ

We believe Jesus Christ is true God that became true man united in one person.

He became flesh through His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit and His virgin birth.

He died on the cross a sacrifice for our sins.

On the third day He arose bodily from the dead, and ascended into the presence of God Almighty.

holy spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and Jesus Christ as being God.  We believe in the Holy Spirit’s immediate gracious presence and power through His fruit, gifts and ongoing revelation of scripture and his will.

mankind

We believe all people are created in the image of God and eternally loved by Him.

However, because of our total rebellion against God, all of mankind became estranged from and enemies of God, and while we remain outside of Jesus Christ are eternally condemned by our sinfulness.

creation and scripture

We believe and uphold the historical view that God created male and female and marriage is sacred between a man and a woman.

We believe that all scripture is inspired by God and is not swayed by popular trends, ideals, secular/social Christianity or pressures that stray away from our God who does not change.

We believe that the message does not
change, but the methods to share the
Gospel message are done with relevance
and diversity.

The church

We believe the true universal church consists of everyone who is united in the one body of Christ through saving faith in Jesus Christ.

The universal church finds her visible, yet imperfect, expression in local congregations and small groups or gatherings throughout the world.

We value and respect all of God’s people, past and present, and desire to partner with other churches in solidarity and unity.

We believe that the purpose the church exists on earth is to obey the Lord Jesus Christ’s command to proclaim the unchanging Gospel throughout the world and to make disciples of all nations.

We realize that our obedience to Jesus’ great commission will require our total commitment.

The end of the world

We believe that God will perfect His kingdom, and we look forward with confidence and eager anticipation to that day, and to the new heaven and new earth in which righteousness will dwell and God will reign forever.

salvation

We believe that our salvation is completely dependent upon the work of God’s free grace in Jesus Christ.

God credits His righteousness to those who put their faith in Christ alone for their salvation, are born again of the Holy Spirit and receive the gift of eternal life.

Because God gives man eternal life through Jesus Christ, the believer is secure in his or her salvation for eternity.
Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian.

It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives us this security.
