Our Beliefs
We are a Free, Independent, Non-Denominational Church
We are a Bible Centered Church. We believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, inspired by God, and written by the hand of man. (II Timothy 3:16-17, Acts 11:26, Romans 15:4)
We are a church led by God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. God - We believe God is eternal. We believe God created the universe and He still sustains life to this day. We believe there is one God and He has three persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (John 1:1-14, Colossians 1:1, Matthew 28:19, Hebrews 1:1-2) Jesus - We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, who came to earth fully human, born of a virgin, living a sinless life, before dying upon the cross for the salvation of ALL who believe. (Philippians 2:5-11, Luke 1:26-35, I Peter 2:21-24, Romans 8:31-34) Holy Spirit - We believe that the Holy Spirit was sent to Earth to dwell among men to give them the strength and ability to do God's work. (John 16:5-10; Acts 2:38; Romans 8:1-17; 1 Corinthians 12)
We are a church that strives for Unity. We believe that the church is the body of Christ on earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit and exists to save the lost. To achieve unity in the church we must be the same in purpose, spirit and practice. (John 17:21, I Corinthians 1:10, Ephesians 4:1-16)
We observe the Lord's Supper. We partake in communion each Sunday. All who proclaim that Jesus is Lord are welcome to partake. (I Corinthians 11:17-34)
We believe in baptism by immersion. We believe that faith in Christ is expressed by believing in Jesus Christ, repenting of your sins, confessing Christ as Savior and Lord, and being baptized by immersion into Christ. (Acts 2:38; Acts 16:31; Romans 10:9; Galatians 3:25-27; 1 Peter 2:20-21) We do not participate in infant baptism, as we believe that being baptized is a personal decision.
We believe that all Christians are called to be disciples that make disciples.
We believe that the Church is the body of Christ on earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit and exists to exalt God, evangelize the lost, and encourage, edify, and equip the saved (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:36-47).
