God

We believe in one God, who is creator of all things, holy, loving, and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Bible

We believe the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is the inspired Word of God, inerrant in the original manuscripts, the complete revelation of God’s will for the salvation of men and women, and the final authority for Christian faith and life.

Jesus Christ

We believe that the only mediator between God and humanity is Jesus Christ, eternally existent in the Trinity and both fully God and fully man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and was born to a virgin named Mary. He lived a sinless life and died on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice for our sins. Further, he arose bodily from the dead and ascended into heaven where he is now seated at the right hand of God the Father. He will come again personally and visibly to inaugurate his kingdom and judge the living and the dead.

The Holy Spirit

We believe the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to bring glory to Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit regenerates, baptizes, indwells, and seals all who have faith in Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit convicts, guides, instructs, and empowers the Christian for godly living and service, and endows each Christian with spiritual gifts.

Humanity

We believe humanity was created in the image and likeness of God to have a personal relationship with Him. However, humanity fell into sin and consequently all people are born with a sinful nature and are separated from God until they have personal faith in Jesus Christ.

Salvation (“How are we saved?”)

We believe that salvation from sin and reconciliation with God can only come by God’s grace through personal faith in Jesus Christ, whose death and resurrection provides the atonement for our sin. All those who believe are justified by God and are born of the Holy Spirit and thus  become children of God and receive eternal life. Those who reject God’s free gift of grace through Jesus Christ will be subject to judgment and eternal, conscious punishment for their rebellion against God (sin) and will be separated from Him for eternity.

The Church

We believe the church is composed of believers in Jesus Christ who have been regenerated and baptized by the Holy Spirit into one body. Its mission is to witness concerning Jesus Christ and to preach the gospel and make disciples of all nations.
