Our Beliefs...
Bible
The Bible is the inspired Word of God and is the authority in all matters of faith, belief, and conduct. (2 Tim. 3:16-17)
God
There is one living, personal God who eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Rev. 1:8; Isaiah 43:10-11; Deut. 6:4; Matthew 28:19)
People
God created people in his image; everyone matters to God. (Gen. 1:26-27; Gen. 5:1-2)
All people sin, fall short of God’s standard, and need God’s forgiveness.(Rom. 3:23)
Jesus Christ
Jesus, the Son, sent by the Father to live on earth, was fully God and fully human, and was without sin. Jesus willingly laid down his life in a crucifixion death and was raised from the grave by the Father, paying the price for all sin. Through his death, resurrection, and ascension Jesus has defeated the power of sin, death, and the devil. (Lk. 1:31-35; 1 Cor. 15:3; 2 Cor. 5:21; Col. 1:13-14)
Salvation
Those who confess and turn from their sin and trust in Jesus Christ will be saved by God’s grace, becoming children of God with the promise of eternal life. (John 3:16-17; Gal 3:26)
Church
Jesus Christ is the head of the church, which is made up of all believers. The church is the light of the world. (Eph. 4:15-16; Matthew 5:14)
Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit was sent by the Father and the Son to convict the world of sin and to empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. He lives in each believer and is a constant comfort, teacher and guide, helping us to become more like Jesus Christ. (John 14:16-17; Gal. 5:22-23)
Christ’s Return
Jesus Christ will return. There will be a final judgment and a restoration of all things into a new heaven and new earth. (Matthew 24:37; Rev. 21:5)
