Our Beliefs

Home » Who We Are »

We do not hold to any particular creed or systematic theology. We believe that it is essential that we continually study and follow God’s Word as we seek the truth in all matters of faith and life.

  • We believe in one God, Creator and Sustainer of the universe, who eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1; John 1:1-3; 14:6-20).
  • We believe that Jesus Christ is the one and only Son of God, who died for our sins and arose from the dead (John 3:16; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8).
  • We believe that the Holy Spirit is a gift from God to empower believers to live the Christian life (John 16:5-10; Acts 2:38; Romans 8:1-17; 1 Corinthians 12).
  • We believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
  • We believe that every person has worth as a creation of God, but all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Genesis 1:26,27; 3:1-3; Romans 3:23).
  • We believe that forgiveness of sins and eternal life are available to those who place their faith in Jesus Christ (John 3:16; Romans 5:1; Ephesians 2:8-9).
  • We believe that faith in Christ is expressed by believing in Jesus Christ, repenting of your sins, confessing Christ as Savior and Lord, and being baptized by immersion into Christ (Acts 2:38; Acts 16:31; Romans 10:9; Galatians 3:25-27; 1 Peter 2:20-21).
  • We believe that it is essential to live a committed Christian life after accepting God’s gift of salvation (Romans 6:1-14; Ephesians 5:1-21; Colossians 3:1-17).
  • We believe that the Church is the body of Christ on earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit and exists to exalt God, evangelize the lost, and encourage, edify, and equip the saved (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:36-47).
  • We believe that Jesus Christ will one day return to gather those who follow Him, to their eternal destiny in heaven and to condemn those who did not follow Him, to their eternal destiny in hell (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
