what-we-believe2.png

We are Christ-Focused, Bible-Centered, and Service-Oriented.
The basis of our beliefs is found in Jesus Christ and His Holy Word, the Bible, which is God's infallible Word, consisting of sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments. We believe the Bible is fully inspired by the Holy Spirit and written without error (inerrant) in the original manuscripts.
 
The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired by God who is the author. The Bible reveals God to mankind, teaches truth, and our need for salvation. The Bible reveals who God is and our relationship with Him. (Deuteronomy 4:1-2; 17:19; Psalm 19:7-10; Isaiah 40:8; Matthew 5:17-18; Luke 21:33; John 5:39; 17:17; Romans 15:4; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21).
 
We believe that there is only one true God. He is personal and knowable. God is the all-powerful, all-knowing, and everywhere present Creator, Ruler, and Preserver of the universe. God is perfectly Holy and has perfect knowledge of everything past, present, and future. The eternal triune God reveals Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1; 2:7; Deuteronomy 6:4; Psalm 19:1-3; Jeremiah 10:10; Matthew 23:9; 28:19; John 4:24; Romans 8:14-15; 1 Corinthians 8:6; Galatians 4:6; Ephesians 4:6; Colossians 1:15; 1 Timothy 1:17; 1 Peter 1:17; 1 John 5:7).
 
Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, lived a sinless life and took upon Himself human nature to completely identify Himself with our weakness, yet without sin. His substitutionary death on the cross redeemed mankind from sin. He was raised from the dead with a glorified body and ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of God as the only Mediator between God and Man. Christ will return and all believers will be forever present with our Lord. (Isaiah 7:14; 53:1-12; Matthew 1:18-23; 3:17; Mark 3:11; Luke 1:35; John 1:1-18; Acts 1:9; 2:22-24; Romans 1:3-4; 3:23-26; 5:6; 8:1-3; 1 Corinthians 1:30; 2:2; Galatians 4:4-5; Ephesians 1:20; 4:7-10; Colossians 1:13-22; 1 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 1:1-3; Revelation 1:13-16; 19:16).
 
The Holy Spirit is fully God and enables mankind to understand truth. The Holy Spirit exalts Christ, convicts mankind of sin, righteousness, and judgment. He baptizes every believer into the Body of Christ and seals every believer until the day of final redemption. He comforts and guides believers thereby shaping Christian character. The Holy Spirit provides spiritual gifts so believers can better serve God and each other. He shows believers how to pray, illuminates Scripture, and equips believers for service. (Genesis 1:2; Joel 2:28-32; Matthew 1:18; 3:16; Mark 1:10; Luke 1:35; Romans 8:9-11, 14-16; Galatians 4:6; 1 Thessalonians 5:19; 1 Timothy 3:16; 2 Timothy 3:16).
 
Mankind is God's special creation, made in God's image, created male and female. In the beginning, man was innocent of sin and endowed by God with free will. By man’s free choice, through the temptation of Satan, man sinned and brought sin into the world. Only God's grace can save man and restore fellowship with man. Christ died for everyone, of every race, for all time, to forgive sin and restore those who call upon God. By the blood of Christ we are saved, through faith, for all who seek forgiveness through Christ as Savior. ( Genesis 1:26-30; 3:15; Psalm 1; Isaiah 6:5; Jeremiah 17:5; Matthew 1:21; 4:17; 16:26; John 1:11-14; Acts 4:12; 17:26-31; Romans 3:10-18; 5:6; Galatians 2:20; Ephesians 1:7; Philippians 2:12-13; 2 Timothy 1:12; Revelation 3:20).
 
The Church is the Body of Christ comprised of all true believers of Christ from throughout all of time. (Matthew 16:15-19; Acts 2:41-42; Romans 12:5 Ephesians 2:20-22; Colossians 3:16).
 
We believe in the two sacraments: Baptism and the Lord's Supper. (Matthew 26:26-29; Mark 14:22-25; 16:16 ;Acts 2:38; Romans 6:3-4; 1 Corinthians 10:16; 11:23-26; 12:13; Ephesians 4:5 1 Peter 3:21).
