Beliefs:

We Believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible and authoritative Word of God without error in the original writings.

We Believe in one God. Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We Believe that all people have sinned and come short of the glory of God; and regeneration by the Holy Spirit through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is absolutely essential for the salvation of the lost and sinful people.

We Believe in the Deity and the virgin birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. That he died upon the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sin of the world, that he rose from the dead and ascended into heaven, from where he will return with power and glory, and he provides the only means of salvation for us through his grace.

We Believe in the doctrine of justification by faith, realizing that it is impossible for a person, through works, to save oneself. "Therefore, being justified by faith, we are at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

We Believe in baptism by immersion following a profession of faith in Christ.

We Believe in the eternal security of the true believer.

We Believe in life after death, "that there shall be resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.".

We Believe in the resurrection of the saved into everlasting life in Heaven, and the resurrection of the lost or unsaved into eternal punishment.

We Believe that the Lord's Supper is a New Testament ordinance which declares Christ's sacrificial death. Those who have received Jesus as their personal Savior are invited to participate.

We Believe it is important to clearly communicate the message of the cross, our personal relationship with Jesus Christ and to make disciples of all people.
