MESSAGE

Jesus Christ is the Son of God, He was incarnate in genuine humanity and remained perfect (we believe in the *hypostatic union and the *monotheistic trinity). He died for our sins, was buried and arose on the third day and appeared to many; he ascended into heaven, and will come again for the rapture, and again finally for the “Great White Throne Judgment.” We can only be saved by grace through faith, i.e., responding to the call of God and conforming to the image of Jesus through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

• *Hypostatic Union – The one personality of Christ in which His two natures, human and divine, are united.

• *Monotheistic Trinity – The doctrine or belief that there is only one God. He is revealed to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, each with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence or being.

Purpose

The purpose of this congregation is to give visible form to that faith and fellowship to which God has called his people; to acknowledge ourselves to be a local manifestation of the universal church through which Jesus Christ continues to minister to the world by his Holy Spirit; to seek to fulfill this calling through corporate worship services, through a program of Christian nurture by which our members may be built up in their faith and love, through proclamation of the gospel by word and deed, and to minister to human needs in the name of Christ. (1 Peter 2:5-12; Matthew 28:18-20)
