What We Believe

Here’s what shapes our faith and grounds our life together as a community.

The Bible

We believe the Bible is the written word of God and is to be accepted in its entirety.

The Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, and is ever present to convict the unbeliever of sin, to comfort, strengthen, and direct the believer.

Human Condition

We believe every man sins of his own free will; he lives under the condemnation of sin and therefore needs to be saved.

Baptism

We believe baptism is an ordinance of the Church, symbolizing the believer's experience of a death to sin and resurrection to a new life in Christ Jesus. The proper mode for baptism is immersion.

Christ’s Return

We believe one day the Lord Jesus Christ will literally, visibly return to this earth to receive those who belong to Him.

Abundant Life in Jesus

We believe Jesus Christ lives today ready to give abundant and eternal life to all who repent of sin and place their belief in Him.

Salvation by Grace

We believe salvation is a work of grace, and is received when the unbeliever repents of his sins and believes in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Secure in Salvation

We believe our salvation is present and permanent possession.

The Church

We believe the Church is a body of like-minded, baptized believers, banded together for the purpose of worship and service. Its government is both autonomous and democratic.

The Lord’s Supper

We believe the Lord's Supper is an ordinance of the Church symbolizing our Lord's sacrificial death for sinful man.

Heaven & Hell

We believe Heaven is a literal place prepared for the believer and Hell is a literal place for the unbelievers.
