What We Believe

We believe that every person is called by God to share His love, in word and deed. So that you can better understand who we are as a church, here are some of our key beliefs:

We believe in one God who has revealed Himself in three equal persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe He is the Creator of all things and that He always was, is, and will be.

We believe the Bible in its entirety is the Divinely Inspired Word of God and is the absolute authority for faith and practice.
(1 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21)

We believe that Christ (God in the flesh) died for our sins on the Cross and was buried and resurrected on the third day, according to the Scriptures. We believe this death and resurrection provides the only basis for our sins to be forgiven and for us to be justified (Saved) before God if we repent of our sins and trust in Him to forgive us. It is by Grace and through Faith as a gift, not of works.
(Romans 5:1; Ephesians 2:8-9)

We believe that sin entered the world through the willful disobedience of Adam and Eve and has continued to every individual since by their willful disobedience.
(Romans 6:23)

We believe that a New Testament Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is a local body of baptized believers who are associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the Gospel.
(Acts 2:21-47)

We believe that Christ commanded His people (believers) to observe the Lord’s Supper and be obedient in the act of Baptism. We believe that Baptism through immersion in water, in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is necessary to demonstrate our Faith in Him. The Lord’s Supper is an act of the church to remember Christ’s sacrifice for everyone. If you are a believer in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, you are welcome to participate in this ordinance.
(Acts 2:41; 1 Corinthians 10:16; 11:23-29).

God has ordained the family as the foundational institution of human society. It is composed of persons related to one another by marriage, blood, or adoption. Marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime. It is God’s unique gift to reveal the union between Christ and His church and to provide for the man and the woman in marriage the framework for intimate companionship. The husband and wife are of equal worth before God, since both are created in God’s image. Children, from the moment of conception, are a blessing and heritage from the Lord.
