What We Believe

Scripture

We believe the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.

Scripture

God

We believe in God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three (3) persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Jesus

We believe Jesus Christ is the true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross, a sacrifice for our sins, according to the Scriptures. Furthermore, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He now is our High Priest and Advocate.

Holy Spirit

We believe the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and, during this age, to convict men and lead them to spiritual rebirth and renewal through the in-dwelling, guiding, instructing, and empowering of the believer for Godly living and service.

Humanity

We believe man was created directly in the image of God, but fell into sin and is lost. Therefore, only through accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and through spiritual rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.

Salvation

We believe the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe, and only those who receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit and, thus, become children of God.
