About Us

Our Beliefs

God the FATHER

We believe in one eternal, unchanging, personal God; perfect in holiness, wisdom, love, power, and justice; creator and preserver of all things, visible and invisible. He exists as one divine being and yet as a trinity of three distinct persons, identical, inseparable, and equal in divinity, power and eternity.

God the SON, JESUS CHRIST

Jesus Christ is God revealed in human form as His Son. We believe in His conception by the Holy Spirit, virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, teachings, and that He offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on the cross. He rose from the dead on the third day to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to heaven and will return again to earth to reign as Lord and King.

God the HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit lives in the soul of every believer from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He supplies conviction of sin, regeneration, sanctification, and the believer’s assurance. He produces in believers with both the “fruit of the Spirit”, and the gifts of the Spirit, so that they may grow in character and mission in the world.

The BIBLE

We believe that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God, without error in all that it affirms, and is the only infallible rule of faith and living. It is fully authoritative and trustworthy, fully sufficient for all believers now and always, and profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness. The Holy Spirit, who inspired the Scripture, must ever be its true interpreter.

HUMANITY and SIN

We believe that God created man and woman in His own image, in order to glorify himself and enjoy His fellowship forever. Adam and Eve fell from this original state by a voluntary act of disobedience, thus suffering the immediate loss of a perfect relationship with God and making self the center of their lives. By this act, they suffered spiritual death, and sin entered the world and death by sin, so that death passed upon all.

SALVATION

We believe God the Father sent Jesus the Son to reconcile mankind to a relationship with himself. In response to repentance from sin, God pardons them from past sins and declares them righteous, by the atoning death of Christ. We believe that salvation is a free gift from God given to any person who puts their faith in Jesus Christ, accepting Him as Lord and Savior.

The CHURCH

The “Church” is the people of God united on mission who happen to meet in a building. Believers are united together in what the Bible calls the “Body of Christ,” of which Jesus is the head. Its purposes are to make disciples of all nations by its witness to the grace and love of God and to live as a loving community who build up one another in the grace and knowledge of God.

ETERNITY

We believe that Heaven and Hell are both real places for human beings to exist after death and that every human being will exist for eternity either in God’s presence or separated from Him. We believe that the Biblical descriptions of Heaven and Hell are meant to give us a basic, and metaphorical, understanding of these places, but the main issue is that God has made a way for everyone to spend eternity with Him through faith in Jesus’ life, death and resurrection.
