What We Believe - Our Statement of Faith

We believe in one God consisting of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, 3 in 1—the Trinity .
Matthew 3:16 & 17; John 14:9 & 10

We believe God is the creator of man and of all things.
Genesis 1:1; Acts 17:24-28

We believe Jesus Christ is divine.  While on this earth, He was God in the flesh.
John 3:16; Matthew 1:18; John 14:6; John 20:24-31

We believe the Holy Spirit dwells within every Christian.
John 16:5-15

We believe the Bible is the only inspired word of God and the final authority for all matters of faith.
Romans 15:4; Hebrews 4:13; 2 Timothy 3:16

We believe that man, created by God, willfully sinned, and as a result, is eternally condemned (separated from God) and without hope apart from Jesus Christ.
Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23; I John 1:7

We believe we are saved by God's grace.  God's grace was demonstrated by Jesus' substitutionary death on the cross, the one historical act that paid the penalty for all sin.
Matthew 26:28; Romans 5:9; Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 Peter 1:18-19; 1 John 1:7; John 14:6

We believe, because of Jesus’ substitutionary death anyone can accept his gift of salvation through faith. Faith is expressed by confessing Christ as Lord and Savior, repentance, baptism (water immersion) and continued spiritual growth. 

Romans 5:1-2; Luke 24:45-47; Acts 3:19; 17:30; 2 Peter 3:9; Matthew 10:32; Romans 10:9; Philippians 2:11; 1 John 4:15; Acts 2:38; Romans 6:1-7; Galatians 3:27; Colossians 2:12; 1 Peter 3:21; John 15:1-8; Acts 2:42-47

We believe that the church is the body and bride of Christ, founded on the day of Pentecost, consisting of all Christians everywhere.
Matthew 16:13-18; Acts 2:14-47

We believe that death seals the eternal destiny of each person. The saved will inherit eternal life with God; the unsaved, eternal death (separation from God).
Romans 8:10-11; Daniel 12:2; John 6:47; Hebrews 9:27
