What We Believe:
THE SCRIPTURES: We believe that all 66 books, the entire Bible, are inspired by God and inerrant in the original writings. Through the providence of God, the Word of God has been protected and preserved, and is the only infallible and authoritative rule of faith and practice. -2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Psalm 119:11, 89, 105.
GOD: We believe there is only One true, eternally existent God. He exists in three co-equal persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The triune God is the Creator and Sustainer of all things, and is worthy of worship and obedience. -Deuteronomy. 6:4-5; Genesis 1:31, Luke 3:21-22; Matthew 28:18-20, Rev. 4:11.
JESUS CHRIST: We believe that Jesus Christ is God. Jesus existed in the beginning with God the Father and created all things that came into being as the image of the invisible God. He was later conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, shed His blood on the cross to pay the debt for our sins, dying a horrible death, was buried, bodily resurrected, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return literally, visibly, and personally in glory and power. -John 1:1-3,14; Matthew 1:18-25; Philippians 2:5-9; Colossians 1:15; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8; Acts 1:11. Romans 10:9
HOLY SPIRIT: We believe that the Holy Spirit is God, Co-equal and Co-existent with the Father and the Son. He is the One who convicts of sin and the Chief Agent of regeneration and sanctification. The Holy Spirit lives within every believer and empowers every believer to live a godly life. - John 14:16-19; 16:7-15; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; Romans 8:9,11; Titus 3:5.
SALVATION: We believe salvation is a free gift of God's grace and is completely apart from human works, based solely upon Christ's atoning death, received only through faith in the person of and the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross and through His resurrection from death -Ephesians 2:8-10; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 10:9
THE CHURCH: We believe the church is the body of Christ and the family of God, made up of saved and baptized believers, who regularly join together for worship, fellowship, and ministry. -Matthew 16:18; I Corinthians 12:12-14; Hebrews 10:25.
EVANGELISM: We believe evangelism to be the responsibility and privilege of every Christian, commanded to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ and to make growing disciples - Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8.
