What We Believe
1. We believe that the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God.
2. We believe there is only one God, who created all and has always been. He reveals Himself to us through three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe the Holy Spirit is ever present, convicting the world of sin, empowering, guiding, and comforting those who repent, and sanctifying believers.
4. We believe in the virgin birth, the death, resurrection, and ascension into heaven of the Son of God: Jesus Christ, and that salvation can be found in or through no one else.
5. We believe that Jesus will come again to gather the believers, and on the final day we will all stand before God for judgment.
6. We believe that because of sin, mankind that God created to be pure and holy has fallen, but can be restored to a pure and holy nature.
7. We believe that people cannot save themselves by good works but that salvation is only found by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
8. We believe that after salvation, God has called us to a holy lifestyle that was modeled for us by His Son, Jesus Christ.
9. We believe that Christians are called to tell others of Jesus' message and show their faith in Him through deeds of love toward others.
