WHAT WE BELIEVE

Our Purpose:

We are a Bible believing fellowship who, through our walk with and worship of God, provide Christ-centered teaching, spiritual growth, and outreach in an atmosphere of love and acceptance.

Our Mission:

Our mission is defined by the Great Commission set by Jesus to all His disciples in Matthew 28:18-20

18 And Jesus came and said to them:
"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age"

We call ourselves Christians. (Acts 11:26)

 

We believe in the Holy Spirit, both as to His agency in conversion and as a dweller in the heart of the Christian. (John 14:8-11; John 14:15-17)

 

We believe in God the Father. (Matthew 6:9)

 

We believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of the living God, and our Savior. (Matthew 16:19)

 

We regard the deity of Christ as the fundamental truth of the Christian system. (John 8:58)

 

We proclaim Jesus as God made flesh. (John 1:14)

 

We believe that Jesus is the only way for us to obtain salvation and enter into the eternities of heaven.  (John 14:6; Acts 4:12)

 

We believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for us so that our sins could be forgiven. (Acts 2:23-24; 1 Cor 15:3-8; Rom 6:3-4)

 

We observe the institution of the Lord's Supper on every Lord's Day. To this table we neither invite nor detract. We say it is the Lord's Table, for all the Lord's children. (Acts 20:7; Acts 2:42)

 

We believe that sin is what separates us from God. (Romans 3:23, 1 John 3:4-10, 2 Timothy 3:1-5)

We plead for the unity of God's people. (John 17:20-23)

 

We accept the Old and New Testaments as the inspired Word of God. II Peter 1:20-21; II Timothy 3:16-17

 

We believe in the future punishment of the wicked-hell (Revelations 21:8) and the future reward of the righteous-heaven. (Revelations 21:1-4)

 

We believe that our heavenly Father is a prayer-hearing and prayer-answering God. (Matthew 7:7-8)

 

We maintain that all ordinances should be observed as they were in the days of the apostles. We practice baptism by immersion in water for the forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38, Acts 8:36, Romans 6:4-6, Col. 2:12)

 

We believe that the Bible defines what is sin against God. (Mark 7:20-23, Galatians 5:19-21, Exodus 20:2-17, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, Colossians 3:3-9)
