BELIEFS
THE BIBLE
The Bible is the inspired Word of God - a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. We believe it is authoritative in every dimension of our lives. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
GOD
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God. (Genesis 1:1,26,27; 3:22)
JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ is the one and only Son of God who died for our sins and arose from the grave. (1 Corinthians 15:1-8)
MANKIND
Every person is a person of worth because they were created by God. However, all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)
FORGIVENESS
Forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life are available to those who trust Christ as Savior and Lord. (John 3:16)
BAPTISM
Those accepting Christ should repent of their sin, confess their faith, and follow Christ in believer’s baptism. (Romans 10:9,13; Acts 2:38)
SECURITY OF SALVATION
The true believer is secure in salvation for eternity. If you have been genuinely saved, you cannot "lose" it. Salvation is maintained by the grace and the power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian. It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives us this security. (John 10:28-30; Romans 8:31-39)
CHURCH
The church is the body of Christ on earth and exists to evangelize the lost and edify believers. (Ephesians 4:11-13) Steps to Membership
CHRIST’S RETURN
Jesus Christ will one day return to earth and reign forever as Kings of Kings and Lord of Lords. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
