We seek to fulfill this purpose through the public worship of God, the preaching of the Scriptures, consistent Christian living by our members, personal evangelism, missionary endeavor and Christian education. (Ephesians 1:5-14, Colossians 1:9-10, Matthew 5:16, and I Peter 2:9-12)
We Believe in the holy Trinity; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. They are distinct personalities
with distinct roles, but one God. And that One God is the Creator of the universe. We Believe the Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God in its entirety and that it does not contradict itself. It is our guide for faith and living. We Believe Jesus Christ is the Messiah, the Savior, the Son of God who was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on a cross, and was raised from the grave. He will return as our victorious Lord. We Believe our salvation comes only through Jesus Christ and cannot be earned. We Believe the church, as the body of Christ, is the extension of Jesus Christ’s character, attitude, behavior, and mission in our world today. We Believe faith in Jesus requires repentance, confession of that faith before witnesses, and obedience to His Word. Water Baptism demonstrates our faith and obedience while it depicts our union with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. We Believe man was created in the image of God and that through His Holy Spirit, He distributes gifts to both men and women for the benefit of the the body of Christ, His Church. We Believe everyone who accepts Christ has the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit who acts as a Comforter, Guide, and Advocate. We Believe that humility in prayer is the foundation for all we do and that celebrating communion together is beneficial for all Christians. We Believe marriage has been established by God. This church defines “marriage” as the exclusive covenantal union of one man and one woman in which such union is a lifetime commitment. A civil government’s sanction of a union will be recognized as a legitimate marriage by the church only to the extent that it is consistent with the definition of “marriage” as found in found in the Bible. We Believe that every human being is “fearfully and wonderfully” made in the image of God and is distinctly created male or female. These two distinct, complimentary genders together reflect the image and nature of God. (Gen 1:26-27.) Rejection of one’s biological s*x is a rejection of the image of God within that person.
