Our Beliefs

We believe in one God,  maker of heaven and earth, and eternally existent as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

 

We believe the Bible is the Word of God and without error.  We believe in its authority for conduct, belief, and practice.

 

We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His sacrificail death on the cross, that He rose bodily from the grave, ascended into heaven, and will return to earth in power and glory.  

 

We believe that people were created in the image of God with emotions, intellect and the freedom of choice.

 

We believe that through Adam all people obtained a sin nature and are now sinners by birth and by choice, deserving eternal punishment in hell. 

 

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died so that people may be eternally saved from the wrath of God, be forgiven of sin, be justified, and be reconciled to God. This salvation is a free gift of God’s grace to all who believe through faith.

 

We believe there is a literal heaven and hell. One is the eternal home of those who accepted Jesus, that other is the eternal result of those who have rejected Him.

 

We believe that a New Testament church is a local body of baptized believers, organized for worship, service, and the spread of the Gospel through out the world.

 

We believe the two ordinances of the church are baptism by immersion and the Lord’s Supper; they are representations of the Lord’s death and resurrection for the believer.
