WHAT WE BELIEVE

 

*WE believe in salvation by faith in Jesus Christ who died on the cross as the substitute for our sin.  WE believe that the grace of God makes it extremely difficult for us to lose our salvation! WE believe when people discover our awesome God personally that they will never want to go back to their former way of living!

 

*WE believe in the complete and total authority of Scripture and its power to provide direction and purpose for our lives. 

 

*WE believe there is one TRUE God, who is revealed in the persons of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – commonly referred to as the Trinity.

 

*WE believe in the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ; as God's son Jesus was both human and divine.  He was born of a virgin and lived a sinless life.

 

*WE believe the Holy Spirit inhabits people at the moment of salvation and fills believers to empower them to live out the fruit of the Spirit and serve as witnesses for Jesus Christ.  Additionally, He provides comfort to those who are hurting and direction for those needing guidance. 

 

*WE believe in and practice baptism by immersion as an outward expression of the inward decision to place one’s faith in Jesus Christ, as well as taking communion to remember the sacrifice and suffering of Jesus on the cross.

 

*WE believe Christians should develop in their faith and be committed to a life of personal devotion to God. Commitment is expressed through corporate and private worship, participation in small group Bible study, meaningful service in a ministry, giving financially in a God-honoring way and intentionally introducing others to a personal relationship with God.

 

*WE believe a divinely called and scripturally ordained leadership ministry serves the church.
