What We Believe
We believe the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God and that men were moved by the Spirit of God to write the very words of Scripture. Therefore, we believe the Bible is without error and is the foundation for all Truth. We believe the Bible to be the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
- 2 Timothy 3:16, 1:13
- 2 Peter 1:20-21
- Psalm 119:160, 12:6
- Proverbs 30:5
We believe in only one true God who is the eternal King, Creator and Redeemer of all that is. He is perfectly holy, just, loving and truthful. We believe in the Holy Trinity – one being in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
We believe the Lord Jesus Christ, the one and only Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin, Mary, and is God’s Anointed One, fully God and fully man. We believe that He became flesh to reveal God to humanity, to set a perfect human example of a life lived in pursuit of God, and to become the Savior of the lost world. We believe Jesus Christ was crucified for our sins, died, was buried, resurrected and ascended into heaven, and is now alive today, in the presence of God the Father and in His people empowered by the Holy Spirit to inaugurate God’s Kingdom on earth.

We believe that all people were created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him but became alienated in that relationship through rejection of the Lordship and glory of God for which we were intended. Because of this, sickness, death and judgment entered the world and now creation experiences the effects and consequences of sin.
- Genesis 1:26-27, 3:22
- Psalm 8:3-6
- Romans 3:23
- Isaiah 59:1-2
We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sin. We are saved by God’s grace, through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ and believe that anyone can be restored to fellowship with God through repenting, believing and receiving Jesus as their Savior and Lord. The Holy Spirit convicts, regenerates, justifies, and adopts us as we enter the Kingdom of God as His sons and daughters.
- Ephesians 1:5-14, 2:8-9
- Galatians 4:4-6
- Romans 6:23 –
- Matthew 1:22-23
- Isaiah 9:6
We believe all Christians should live for Christ and not for themselves. By obedience to the Word of God and daily yielding to the Spirit of God, every believer should mature and be conformed to the image of Christ. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

We believe that the church is the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head. The members of the church are those who have trusted by faith the finished work of Christ. The purpose of the church to carry on the ministry of Jesus Christ and further advance His kingdom by undoing the works of the enemy, preaching and living the good news of God’s love, discipling the nations, baptizing and teaching others to love and obey God. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers under the banner of our Lord Jesus Christ.
