What We Believe


We believe there is only one true God who is the Living and Almighty Creator and Ruler of the universe and all that it contains. He has eternally existed in three distinct persons (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit). These three are co-equal and are one God. We believe God created everything for His Glory and that all of creation is subject to His glory and that all of creation is subject to His sovereign will. (Mt. 28:19; Gen. 1:1; Heb. 1:1-13; Acts 5:3-4; Jn. 10:30)
We believe the Lord Jesus Christ was born of the virgin Mary and that He is the Son of God, co-equal with the father. He has always existed without sin, in absolute perfection, and He died on the cross in order to suffer God's punishment of sin in the place of sinners. We believe He rose bodily, physically, from the dead in order to conquer sin and death once for all. He alone is the mediator between God and people, making it possible for people to come into a right relationship with God. (Isa. 7:14; Matt:1:18-25; Jn. 1:14; I Tim 2:5; Phil 2:5-8)
We believe the Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is active today convicting men of sin, drawing unbelievers to God, and indwelling the believer for the purpose of enabling him to live a life pleasing to the Lord. (Jn. 14:16-17; 16:7-12; Eph. 1:13-14)
We believe people are a special creation of God and are uniquely different from all of God's creation, for people alone are created in the "image of God." We believe people were created for the purpose of fellowship with God, but because of sin, this fellowship was broken. As a result, all of us are sinners by nature and sinners by choice, and apart from the saving work of Christ and the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, we will be eternally mastered by sin and it's consequences. (Gen. 1:26-27; Rm. 3:10,23; 5:12; Eph 2:1-3)
We believe salvation is a work of God and is a free gift of His grace. It cannot be earned through self improvement or good works. It is only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness that anyone can be saved from the penalty of sin. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith, accepting what He did on the cross for us, we are saved. We believe that all who receive Christ become children of God and are eternally secure in Him. (Jn. 1:11-13; I Cor. 12:13; Col. 1:18)
We believe in the literal and imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ to claim His bride, the Church. We believe that Jesus has gone before us to prepare a place for believers in Heaven. We believe the Bible teaches there is a literal hell for those who reject God. (I Th. 4:13-18; Jn. 14:1-6; I Cor. 15:51-52; Mt. 10:28)
In essential beliefs, we have unity Eph. 4:4-6)
In non-essential beliefs, we have freedom (Rom. 14:1-2)
In all beliefs, we demonstrate love (I Cor. 13:2)
