OUR BELIEFS:
The Bible: We believe the Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, to be the only inspired, inerrant, infallible, authoritative Word of God as written in its original manuscripts. Man: We believe that mankind was created in the image of God, sinned and thereby incurred physical death as well as spiritual death; that is, separation from God; and is now a sinner, by nature and
by choice, in need of salvation. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation. The Trinity: We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who have the same nature and essence but who exist in three persons. We believe that God is righteous in all His ways and loving in all His dealings. The Lord Jesus Christ: We believe in the full deity and humanity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His substitutionary and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father. We believe that the second coming of Christ will be personal, glorious and final. The Holy Spirit: We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling power and fullness the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life in this present evil world. We believe that the Spirit convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment; empowers the preaching and teaching of the gospel; equips the saints for effective ministry and transforms the lives of believers into the likeness of Christ. Redemption: We believe in salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ’s substitutionary payment for our sins, not based on human merit, works or religious ceremony. We believe that all who turn by faith have been justified and adopted into the family of God. We believe that as children of God that we have been forgiven by Him and have been made heirs of eternal life. The Church: We believe in the church, both universally and locally, as the spiritual body of which Christ is the head. The church is to worship God exclusively and to preach the truth of Jesus Christ to the entire world, demonstrating our love for God by loving service to others. OUR VALUES
