What We Believe

  • The Bible is the divinely inspired, inerrant and authoritative Word of God.
  • There is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
  • Jesus Christ is the divine Son of God.  We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, His death for the forgiveness of our sins, His resurrection and ascension, and His personal return in power and glory.
  • The Holy Spirit convicts unbelievers of sin and convinces them of God’s love to draw them to faith in Christ.  He then enters to live within and to teach, guide and empower the Christian to live a God-pleasing life.
  • Each person is in need of a new spiritual birth by expressing faith in Jesus Christ and receiving him as Savior, Lord, and Master, resulting in a personal relationship for eternity.
  • Both the saved and the lost will be raised; those who are saved to everlasting life with the Lord and those who are lost to bear the judgment of their sin forever in separation from the Lord.
  • The church consists of all believers who have repented and accepted Christ by faith.  He is its Head and source of its life.
