What We Believe

Doctrinally, we believe:

  • Jesus Christ is the one and only Son of God, who died for our sins and arose from the dead. (1 Corinthians 15:1-8, John 3:15)

  • The Bible is the inspired Word of God - a real and relevant guide for how to live our lives. (2 Timothy 3:16, Psalm 119:105)

  • All people are tremendously valuable but have sinned and fallen short of God’s high standards. (Genesis 1:31, Romans 3:23)

  • Forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life are available to those who trust Christ as Savior and Lord. (John 3:16)

  • Those accepting Christ should repent of sin, confess their faith, and be baptized into Him. (Romans 10:9, Acts 2:38)

  • The Church is the Body of Christ on Earth, is empowered by the Holy Spirit, and exists to lead non-believers to Christ and edify those who are in Christ. (Ephesians 4:1-6)

  • Jesus Christ will one day return, take home His church and reign forever as King of kings and Lord of lords. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
