Mission Statement
Leading people to the Family of God in service to a Loving Lord, through teaching His Word and serving others while lifting up the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
What We Believe
1.) THE BIBLE (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
- We teach that the Bible is God-inpsired and is our only standard for faith and practice.
2.) THE NATURE OF GOD (Matthew 28:19; John 1:1)
- We teach that there is only one God. He has existed externally as three persons: Father, Son(Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit.
3.) JESUS (John 10:30, 3:16, 14:6; Romans 1:3, 10:9)
- We teach that Jesus is the Son of God, equal in power and glory with the Father and the Holy Spirit. While on earth He was fully God and fully man. He died for our sins and rose again on the third day. He is the Messiah, and will come again to judge the world.
4.) MAN'S PROBLEM (Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 5:12)
- We teach that man was created in the image of God but through voluntary disobedience, turned away from moral innocence and became a sinner. Man's central problem, therefore, is his continual rejection of God's standard.
5.) THE SOLUTION TO MAN'S PROBLEM (John 3:16; Romans 5:10)
- We teach that even while we were hostile to God, Jesus took our punishment on Himself, providing a pardon for all who trust in Him.
6.) THE NEW BIRTH (John 1:12, 3:3)
- We teach that the change that takes place in the heart and the life of any person who turns to Christ is real, miraculous and lasting.
7.) GOD'S GIFT (Ephesians 2:8-9)
- We teach that it is impossible to do anything to earn or merit God's priceless love; instead, forgiveness comes to us as a gift from God.
8.) DISCOVERING GOD'S GIFT (2 Corinthians 7:10; 1 John 1:9)
- We teach that by sincerely and whole-heartedly turning to Jesus, we are accepted by God and forgiven of our sins.
9.) DAILY CHRISTIAN LIFE ( John 14:23; Hebrews 6:1)
- We teach that it is the proper goal of each Christian to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ and each other which is evidenced by Christ-like character.
10.) BAPTISM & THE LORD'S SUPPER ( Matthew 28:19; 1 Corinthians 11:26)
- We teach that baptism by immersion of water is a public declaration of our identification with Jesus and His death, burial and resurrection. We also teach that we remember our Lord's death by regularly taking communion.
