WHAT WE BELIEVE

The Bible

We believe that the Bible was written by men inspired by God and has no error. It is the word of God.

God

God is eternal. He is creator and sustainer of the universe. He exists in three persons: The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit

Jesus

Jesus is the Son of God. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life and died on a cross. He rose again after three days. He is the only way to salvation.

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is equal with the Son and the Father as God. The Holy Spirit convicts us of sin and points us to God through the Son.

Man

Mankind was created by God. We are all sinners that need salvation.

Salvation

Salvation is a free gift from God. We are saved by belief in Jesus Christ alone.

The Church

The church is a localized group of believers. We exist to reach people for Jesus, teach them to live like him, connect them into the church, help them discover their purpose in life and worship God.

Baptism

We believe baptism is by total immersion. Baptism does not save a person yet Jesus commanded that we be baptized.

The Lord's Supper

We believe that the bread represents the body of Jesus. The juice represents his life blood given for us. Neither are required for salvation yet Jesus commanded that we participate in its remembering.
