What we Believe

God.... We believe that the Godhead eternally exists as one in three persons-the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, having precisely the same nature, attributes, and perfections.

Jesus.... We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, death on a cross to pay for our sins, His bodily resurrection and ascension into
heaven, and that He will return to earth in power and glory.

Bible.... We believe in the divine verbal inspiration of the Scriptures. The Old and New Testament in the original writings, is without error. It is the sufficient
revelation of God with regard to life and Christian faith and practice.

Man.... We believe that man was originally created in the image of God, chose to sin. Is without excuse totally depraved needing a savior.

Salvation.... We believe that the Jesus Christ died for our sins, paying the penalty that we could not pay. We believe that a person is saved by faith alone. Apart from works. Each person who through faith believes in Jesus as their Savior is justified on the basis of His shed blood on Calvary. Each person who receives Christ as personal Savior is born again and becomes eternally secure as a child of God.

Resurrection.... We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord Jesus Christ, His ascension into Heaven, and his future
return to earth.
