What We Believe 


The Bible - We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible, authoritative Word of God.

God - We believe in the triune Godhead, eternally existent as three persons in one being: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Jesus - We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious death and atonement through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His present priestly ministry, and in His personal return in power and glory.

The Holy Spirit -We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. We believe in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit as on the day of Pentecost and in the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit as evidenced in charismatic gifts and ministries, and in the fruit of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer.

Man - We believe that God created man and woman in a state of sinless perfection with particular dignity as His image bearers on the earth. We believe that our first parents sinned against God and that everyone since is a sinner by nature and choice. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of eternal punishment. We further believe in the keeping power of God.

The Church -We believe that the universal church is not a religious institution, but is made up of all those who have been justified by faith alone in Jesus Christ, and unified by the Spirit. The local church consists of regenerated believers who gather together regularly for worship, teaching, and celebrating the sacraments of baptism and communion. The local church operates under the leadership of qualified pastors/elders, and exists to glorify God by living Spirit-filled lives, transformed by the gospel of Jesus Christ.
