WHAT WE BELIEVE

We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old Testament and New Testament are the inerrant, inspired, and infallible Word of God. God’s Word is the final authority for faith and life.

We believe there is only one God, existing eternally as the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

We believe man was created in the image of God and the sin of Adam (the first man) marred that image, creating an eternal divide between God and man. Every person is born in sin.

We believe the only way a person can have a true, forgiven relationship with God is through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary and conceived by the Holy Spirit. Jesus became man without ceasing to be God. Our right standing with God is made sure because of His literal, physical resurrection.

We believe in the Holy Spirit. He is fully God, sent into the world by the Father and the Son to apply the saving work of Christ to humanity. He permanently indwells and uniquely endows each believer with His gifts and fruits for building the church.

We believe in the literal, physical return of Jesus to judge the living and the dead.

We believe God offers eternal life as a free gift and that it must be received by faith alone through God’s grace.

We believe believer’s baptism and the Lord’s Supper are the two ordinances of the church.
