What We Believe

What We Believe

our statement of faith

We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are the inerrant, inspired, and infallible Word of God. God’s Word is the final authority for life.

We believe there is only one God, and He has chosen to reveal Himself as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

We believe man was created in the image of God and the sin tainted that image, creating a divide between God and man. Every person is born in sin.

We believe God offers eternal life as a free gift and that it must be received by faith alone through God’s grace alone.

We believe the only way a person can have a true, forgiven relationship with God is through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary and conceived by the Holy Spirit. Jesus became man without ceasing to be God the Son.

We believe that the only way to salvation is through excepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We believe in the true deity and full humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, such that two distinct natures, divine and human, were inseparably joined together in one person. Jesus’ death, burial, and resurection freed us from sin and the eternal grave.

We believe in the baptism of water and of the Holy Spirit.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the child of God enabled them to live a godly life, as the Spirit of Christ within us enables us to do freely and cheerfully what the will of God revealed in Scripture requires to be done.

We believe the church of the Lord Jesus Christ is a local body of believers on a mission to enlarge God’s kingdom.
