Our Beliefs &
Mission Statement

 

Statement of Beliefs

  1. We believe the Holy Bible as the inspired Word of God, without any error, the sufficient authority in   

       matters of faith, doctrine, and Christian living. 

 

  2. We believe in one God, eternally existing in 3 persons; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

 

  3. We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, and that He is truly God and man.  He died on the cross for 

      our sins.  He rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father

      and is now our High Priest and Advocate. 

 

  4. We believe that man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and therefore lost.  Only through

      regeneration by the work of the Holy Spirit can man's salvation and spiritual life be obtained. 

 

  5. We believe that eternal salvation is the free gift of God, entirely apart from man's works, and is possessed

      by any and all who have faith in and receive Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.

 

  6. We believe in a regenerated church membership; that is, persons old enough to understand their need for

      Jesus Christ and of their own free will, accepted Him as their personal Lord and Savior.

 

  7. We believe that baptism is by immersion and the Lord's Supper is a memorial to His suffering and death on

      the cross.  These are ordinances to be observed by the church in its present age.  They are, however, not to

      be regarded as means for man's salvation.   

 

  8. We believe in the personal, bodily, imminent and glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ and that His

      second coming inspires believers for dynamic and zealous life and service for Him while waiting for His     

      return.  

 

  9. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead, the everlasting blessedness of the saved in heaven, and

      the everlasting punishment and separation from God of the unsaved in hell. 

 

  10. We believe in the autonomy of the local church.  The church shall manage its own affairs and shall not be

        subject to any other religious body or organization. 

We are a community of believers dedicated to fulfilling the Great Commission through worship, discipleship and evangelism.
