A Summary of Our Beliefs

God
We believe that there is only one God who eternally exists as Trinity in the Persons of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, and that He died and was completely resurrected. We believe that God is the creator of all that is and that He carries out His purposes for everything.
[ Matt. 28:18-19; John 1:3; Hebrews 1:1-4 ]

The Bible
We believe that the Bible is inspired by God and as such is without error in the original manuscripts. It is God's Word to humanity, given through human authors, and is to be believed and obeyed.
[ 2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:20-21 ]

Humanity
We believe that all persons are created in the image of God, and as such possess inherent value. However, all persons are also fallen because of sin. This is why everyone deserves death, with no hope of escaping eternal punishment.
[ Gen. 1:27; Rom. 3:9-19, 23; Rom. 6:23 ]

Salvation
We believe that people are only saved by grace through trusting in Jesus Christ's death on the cross. All those who trust in Christ for salvation are sealed with the Holy Spirit and saved eternally by God.
[ Eph. 2:8-9; John 3:16 ]

Christian Maturity
We believe that it is the responsibility of each believer to live a life of submission to Christ. Believers become mature by remaining under the influence of the Spirit as they contend with sin and the temptations of both Satan and the world.
[ John 15:1-5; Gal. 5:16-26 ]

Church
We believe that the church consists of all people who believe in Christ, and that it exists primarily to worship God and make disciples. To fulfill these purposes believers should preserve the unity of the Church by serving and building up one another in love.
[ Eph. 4:1-16; John 13:34-35 ]

Unity
As a church body we will obey Christ and champion the essential beliefs that promote a spirit of faith, hope and love. In particular, since there are differences of opinion on spectacular sign gifts, for the sake of unity we will refrain from promoting or practicing these at any of our gatherings.
[ John 17:20-23; 1 Cor. 14; Phil. 2:1-4 ]

Future
We believe that God, in His own timing and way, will some day bring this world to an end. He will establish a new heaven and new earth where believers will spend eternity giving glory and honor to Him.
[ Titus 2:13; Matthew 25:31-46; Revelation 20-22 ]
