What we believe
The BIBLE
The Bible is God's Word. It is God-breathed. We accept the Scriptures as the final authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
GOD
The one ever-living, eternal God is infinite in power, holy in nature, and personal in His love for mankind. In His perfect plan of redemption, God has revealed himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ is God incarnate. His sinless life, sacrificial crucifixion, invincible resurrection, and ascension provided a means of salvation for all mankind.
SALVATION
Men and women are sinners and stand in need of redemption. Salvation comes through Jesus Christ alone. Faith in Jesus Christ and the experience of the New Birth is the appropriate response to Jesus Christ.
HOLY SPIRIT
The empowering of the Holy Spirit is what gives strength to all believers; its demonstration through miracles, gifts and empowerment is a contemporary reality.
THE CHURCH
The church is composed of all who have experienced, through faith in Christ, the new birth into the family of God, making no distinction of age, race, social status, or cultural upbringing. All believers are then members of the universal church, the body of Christ. Since the New Testament exhorts believers to gather for such purposes as worship, prayer, fellowship, sharing the Lord's Supper, teaching of the Word, ministry to fellow Christians, and evangelism, the local church is an indispensable part of God's plan for His people and the world.
