Who We Are

We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God, given to authors through the Holy Spirit. As such, we believe the Scriptures are without error, complete, and the supreme and final authority in all matters to which they speak.

We believe in the only one living and true God, Creator and Sustainer of all things, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that each Person of the Trinity is fully, and equally, God, but they each perform distinct roles that function together.

We believe in God the Father - who is holy, limitless, sovereign, free from sin, all-knowing, all-powerful and eternal. He concerns himself mercifully in the affairs of men and women, hears and answers prayer, and saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.

We believe that Jesus Christ is God’s eternal Son. He is fully God and fully man, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. We also believe that He led a sinless life, that He died in our place as a payment for our sins, that He physically rose from the dead, and that He ascended into heaven where He assumed the role of priest, pleading to God on man’s behalf. We believe He will return bodily to the earth to establish His kingdom and rule over all.

We believe in the Holy Spirit as an equal member of the Trinity with God the Father and God the Son. We affirm His unique role in salvation, the believer’s spiritual growth into maturity, and keeping our salvation secure. His ministry is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and implement Christ’s work of redeeming the lost and empowering the believer for godly living and service. Additionally, He freely gives each believer spiritual gifts, which are used to build up other believers and the church.

We believe God created humanity, male and female, in the image of God and without sin. Because of Adam and Eve’s rebellion against God, we further believe all humans are sinners by nature, and choice, and are, therefore, spiritually dead. We also believe the Holy Spirit gives new life to those who repent of sin and trust Jesus Christ as Savior.

We believe God’s plan of salvation was fulfilled by the Lord Jesus Christ living a perfect, sinless life and paying the penalty for our sin by His sacrificial death on the cross, His resurrection from the dead, and ascension into heaven. This is the free gift of God to all who believe by grace alone, through faith alone; it is not achieved by any human works. Through this salvation, man’s relationship with His Creator is restored, in accordance with God’s original purpose for His creation.

We believe the church consists of all those who have saving faith in Jesus Christ for their salvation, of which Christ is the Head. The local church is a gathering of those with saving faith, in a specific place. The local church gathers for worship, instruction, evangelism, service, and to observe the ordinances of the local church, which are believer’s baptism and the Lord’s Supper.

We believe in the visible and personal return of Jesus Christ, the bodily resurrection of the saved and lost, the eternal existence of all people in either heaven or hell, in divine judgments, rewards, and punishments.
