Statement of Faith

We believe the Bible is the inerrant word of God. It was written by men through inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It is the foundation and rule for Christian faith, doctrine, and conduct. We believe that God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The three are coequal and are one God.

We believe in the Virgin Birth, crucifixion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He rose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven and will return someday to earth to reign as King.

We believe the Holy Spirit provides Christians with power for living, understanding spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He gives every believer spiritual gifts when they are saved. As Christians, we seek to live under His control daily. We believe all men and women are sinners, in their unrepentant state destined for hell and in need of faith in the Savior Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sin and eternal life.

We believe Baptism is symbolic of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Once we have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, baptism is a way for us to publicly declare our new life in Christ. It is also a step of obedience based on God's commands and allows us to follow the example of Jesus, who submitted Himself for baptism.

We believe in a unique time of communion in the presence of God when the elements of bread and juice (the Body and blood of Jesus) are taken in remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. We believe that the Lord Jesus will return, the dead will be raised and the final judgment will take place, with believers entering into eternal life in heaven and unbelievers entering into eternal hell.

We believe the church is the Body of Christ, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of Jesus' Great Commission. Every person who is born of the Spirit is an integral part of the church as a member of the body of believers. There is a spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ
