Our Beliefs

Two crosses behind a lily

Our foundation is based firmly upon the Bible as our authority on Christian beliefs and guide to living.

We believe that the Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God, without error, given to us so that we may know and understand the truth of God and His love.

We believe there is one God, eternally existing in three distinct personalities; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit – each possessing all the attributes of Deity. God the Father is the creator and sustainer of the universe. God created humans to have fellowship with Him, but we have been separated from God by sinfully going our own way. As a result, we need God's saving grace to reconcile us to him.

We believe Jesus Christ is the Messiah, the Savior, the Son of God who was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross, and was raised from the grave. He will return as our victorious Lord. Jesus came to restore our relationship with God. Salvation comes only through faith in Him, and cannot be earned through human effort.

We believe faith in Jesus Christ requires repentance of our sinful life, confession of our faith before witnesses, obedience to the Word of God, and baptism. Baptism by immersion demonstrates our faith and obedience to Jesus Christ – while it also depicts our union with Christ in his death, burial and resurrection.

We believe everyone who accepts Christ as their Savior will receive the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit who acts as a comforter, guide and advocate on our behalf. God gives gifts to both men and women through the Holy Spirit for the benefit of service of Christ and the ministry of the church.
