What We Believe

• We Believe... in one God, who exists eternally in three persons-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all things. (Gen. 1:1;  John 1:1; Matt. 3:16-17; 2 Cor. 13:14)



• We Believe... in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son who is the Savior of mankind. He died for our sins and has risen from the dead. (1 Cor. 15:1-8)



• We Believe... in the Holy Spirit who convicts the world of sin, and in salvation indwells and equips the believer for growth and service. (John 16:8-9; Acts 2:38; Eph. 1:13-14)



• We Believe... the bible is the inspired written word of God, it is without error and it is our final authority in all matters of faith and practice.(2 Tim. 3:14-16)



• We Believe... there is salvation in none other than Jesus Christ.  It is available to us only by God’s grace through the shed blood of Jesus.  It is a free gift to all who will receive Christ as Lord and Savior.  We further believe that one must repent of one’s personal sins, confess Christ publicly and be baptized. (Eph. 2:8-9; Col. 2:6; John 3:16; Rom. 10:9; Acts 2:36-38; Mk. 16:16)



• We Believe... baptism is full immersion in water, and that Jesus left us an example by his own baptism. (Mk 1:9-10; Matt. 28:19; Rom. 6:4)



• We Believe... the church is the bride of Christ on earth, founded on the Day of Pentecost, and that Jesus Christ is both founder and chief Cornerstone.  (Acts 2; Eph. 2:20)



• We Believe... in a literal heaven and hell, and earth seals the eternal destiny of every person. When Christ returns he will pronounce the eternal fate of both the living and the dead.  (John 5:28-29; Dan. 12:2; 2 Cor. 4:14)
