Who are we and what do we believe?
Well, we're a church that has over
125 years of history, being founded in 1886. Our faith is wholly based
on the Bible, the complete and perfect Word of God who created all
things. In the Bible all those things necessary for our salvation from
sin are clearly set forth.
What's sin and why do we need to be
saved from it? Put simply, sin is rebellion against God. Whenever we
break God's laws we sin against Him. Sin cuts all of us off from God,
who alone is the source of life. The punishment for sin is eternal
death, separated from God.
However, because God so loved the
world, He gave Jesus, His Son who lived his life on earth completely
sin-less and blameless, to take the punishment for all of us. Because of
God's grace and gift, when we are able to accept that Jesus died for
our sins, we will be able to enter eternity with life.
Basically,
one can't get into heaven without grace and faith. Much more
information about us, including more of an in-depth explanation of our
beliefs, is available on our website.
