 We believe that God is the creator of man and of all things.

            Genesis 1:1 & Acts 17:24-28

 

We believe that Jesus Christ is the one and only Son of God, who died for our sins and arose from the dead.

            I Corinthians 15:1-8 & John 3:16

 

We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and the final authority for all matters of faith.

            Romans 15:4 & 2 Timothy 3:16

 

We believe that man, created by God, willfully sinned, and as a result, is lost and without hope apart from Jesus Christ.

            Acts 4:12, Romans 3:23 & 1 John 1:7

 

We believe that salvation (the forgiveness of sins) comes by grace through the blood of Jesus Christ (His death on the cross).

            Matthew 26:28, Romans 5:8-11 & Ephesians 2:8-9

 

We believe the Bible teaches that the pattern to follow to receive Jesus as Savior is to believe in Christ as God's Son and Savior of the world, to repent of personal sin, to confess Christ as Lord, and to be immersed in baptism.

            Luke 24:45-47, Acts 2:38, Romans 6:1-7 & 2 Peter 3:9

 

We believe that the Holy Spirit dwells within every Christian.

            John 16:5-15

 

We believe that the Church is the body of Christ on earth and exists to evangelize the lost and edify the saved.

            Ephesians 4:1-16

 

We believe it is God's plan for the elders to lead and shepherd the local church.

        Acts 20:28, 1 Timothy 3:1-7 & 1 Peter 5:1-4

 

We believe that death seals the eternal destiny of each person. The saved will inherit eternal life; the unsaved, eternal separation from God.

        Romans 8:10-11, Daniel 12:2 & John 6:47

 

We believe that Jesus Christ will one day return to earth and reign forever as King of kings and Lord of lords.

            1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
