The basis of our belief is the Bible, composed of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments. We believe Scripture originated with God and was written and recorded by men divinely inspired by God. The Bible speaks with the authority of God and reflects the backgrounds, cultures, lifestyles, and vocabularies of the human authors. The message of the Bible is God's instructions for living and shows us the way to salvation through Jesus Christ.
We believe there is only one God (Deuteronomy 6:4). He is the creator of the heaven and earth, and of all living beings. He has revealed Himself to humanity as the Father (Creator), as the Son (Savior), and as the Holy Ghost (indwelling Spirit).
The central purpose of God's revelation in Scripture is to call all people into fellowship with Him. Originally created to be in fellowship with God, humans defiled God and chose to go their own way. They were separated from God and suffered the corruption of their nature. Sin entered the world early in human history and all individuals since have suffered and are in need of the saving grace of God.
The salvation of humanity is wholly the work of God's free grace though the blood of Jesus, not the result of human works or goodness. Every individual must personally accept salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
Heaven and hell are real places of eternal existence. God gives each human being free will to choose his or her destiny - either heaven by accepting the free gift of Christ or hell by rejecting it.
We believe in water baptism by immersion in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sin. Through baptism we identify with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ (Romans 6:3-6; Colossians 2:11-14; Acts 2:38). We believe that baptism, in itself, does not save us, rather it is an outward show of the inward change.
We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Ghost with the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues (Acts 2:4).
We commemorate the death of Jesus through the observation of communion just as Jesus and the disciples did at the Last Supper. We believe that the bread is a representation of the body of Christ that was broken for us. We believe that the cup is the representation of the blood of Christ that brought us redemption.
We believe that Jesus has tasked the church with spreading the good news. We believe we are called, through acts of servanthood, to spread the love of Christ into both our immediate community and to the world beyond.
We believe that the family unit was ordained by God and that a biblical household consists of one man and one woman united in the covenant of marriage for life.
