The Trinity
We believe in one God-Father, Son and Holy Spirit and in Jesus Christ, God’s one and only Son, our one and only Savior, who suffered and was crucified, who died and was buried. We believe he rose again bodily from the dead on the third day, ascended into Heaven and now sits at the right hand of the Father. The Holy Spirit, who is a personal and active part of the triune God and who indwells every Christian.
The Bible
We believe in the Bible-God’s Holy word. We believe God inspired the original writings of the Scripture, and therefore the Bible is completely trustworthy in all its parts. We accept the Bible as the final authority for all matters of faith and practice.
Sinful Nature of Man
We believe that people created by God willfully sin against God and are consequently lost and without hope apart from Jesus Christ.
Biblical Pathway to Salvation
We believe salvation,the forgiveness of sins, cannot be earned, but is given to us only through the blood of Jesus Christ and by God’s grace. We believe that we must respond to God by admitting our sin and our need for God’s grace [repentance of our sins]. One must have faith that Jesus is the Christ (the Son of God), believing and confessing the the need for forgiveness, turning away from sin, and being baptized (immersed) into Christ. Finally, living for Christ (being a disciple) until the day He will return to earth to judge both the living and the dead.
The Church
We believe in the church of Jesus Christ, consisting of all Christians charged with the mission to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them to obey all of Jesus’ commands.
