Faith Statement:
We believe the Bible is God's infallible and final revelation of himself to mankind and that is our supreme authority in all matters of faith and practice. The scriptures in their entirety were inspired by the Holy Spirit, without error in the original writings.
We believe there is one God, who is creator and sovereign over heaven and earth, perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, and measureless in power. This one God eternally exists in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
We believe Jesus Christ is God's only begotten Son and that He was born of a virgin and became fully man even while remaining fully God. He was sinless in His life, and He atoned for the sins of the world through the shedding of His blood and by His death on the cross. We believe He rose bodily from the grave and then ascended into heaven, where He serves as our high priest and advocate before the Father. Furthermore, we look for His visible and imminent return for His people, who will be with Him for eternity.
We believe the Holy Spirit was sent by God to convict the world of sin and to regenerate, sanctify, indwell, comfort and seal forever those who place their trust in Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit baptizes every believer into the body of Christ at the moment of salvation. It is God's desire that all Christians be filled and empowered by the Holy Spirit for holy living.
We believe mankind was created in the image of God for fellowship with Him. However, beginning with the fall of Adam and Eve, all have sinned and thus have become separated from God. Through God's love and grace, salvation is granted to all who accept his Son as Savior and Lord, and the natural outgrowth of this salvation will be works that are pleasing to God.
We believe the local church is composed of regenerated believers who are united for the purpose of worship of God, the fellowship and training of believers, and the proclamation of the Gospel of Christ throughout the world. We believe God has established baptism and communion as the two ordinances for the local church. Though commanded by Christ for all believers, the two ordinances are not required for salvation.
We believe there will be a bodily resurrection of the dead: the believer to eternal blessedness and joy with the Lord in Heaven and the unbeliever to eternal anguish and separation from God in Hell.
