Matthew 28: 19-20, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”
Matthew 22: 37-39, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.”
What We Believe:
God is the all‐knowing, all powerful, ever present creator of the universe.
Jesus is the Son of God, Savior of man, and Lord of all.
The Holy Spirit manifests God’s active presence in the world.
People are created in God’s image and for His glory, but are separated from God by their sin.
Salvation is a free gift from God that cannot be earned.
The Bible is the written word of God, testifying to the living word of God, Jesus Christ.
The Church is God’s people, partnering in God’s redemptive mission.
The Great Commission is the responsibility of all believers to share their faith with others.
