What We Believe
THE BIBLE
We believe that the Bible is the inerrant, wholly inspired Word of God. It is profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness.The Bible is the unique and final authority on all matters of Christian faith and practice. (2 Timothy 3:16)
GOD
We believe in the one true, infinitely Holy, everlasting God. He created the universe and everything in it. We believe that He alone deserves all of our worship, all of our praise, and that He alone is to be glorified in all we do. He is sovereign, in control of all things. (Matthew 3:16-17)
JESUS CHRIST
We believe that Jesus Christ is God and man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. We believe he was raised from the dead, ascended into heaven, and now acts as the only mediator between God and people, and He is returning one day in Glory and Judgment. (Matthew 1:23, Matthew 27:45-54, 1 Corinthians 15:4, 1 Timothy 2:5)
THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe the Holy Spirit is the 3rd person of the Trinity. It is through the Holy Spirit that God reveals his will, empowers the believer, and fills the believer with joy, peace, and an abundance of hope, testifying to the Glory of God the Father, through Jesus the Son. He regenerates their heart and then permanently indwells them when they believe. His ongoing work is to guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living and service. (John 14:26)
SALVATION
We believe we come to salvation and eternal life by the Grace of God the Father, through Faith in the atoning sacrifice of Jesus the Son. There is salvation in no one else but Jesus, for there is no other name under Heaven given to people by which we must be saved. (Romans 3:21-25)
THE CHURCH
We believe that there is only one true Church universal composed of all people who have asked Jesus Christ for forgiveness and made Him leader of their lives. We believe that the Church is instituted by Jesus for the sole purpose of glorifying God, through the sharing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the growing of disciples into the image of Jesus Christ. We believe the Church is commissioned to be the witnesses for Jesus Christ both in our communities, and to the ends of the Earth. We believe that Jesus Christ is the Lord and Head of the Church.
