What We Believe
We believe the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, is the true inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God and sets the authoritative standard for man’s conduct.
We believe in the one true living God, the Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind, who reveals Himself in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. We believe in His virgin birth, His sinless life, fully God and fully man, His substitutionary work on the cross, His bodily resurrection from the dead, His ascension into heaven, and is now seated at the right hand of God.
We believe that man was created good and upright, but voluntarily transgressed against God, morally fell, thus causing separation from God. We believe that man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross. Salvation is received through repentance of sin and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus has justified mankind by grace through faith, thus making man an heir of God.
We believe the Church is the Body of Christ and is composed of all who are born-again through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe that followers of Christ are united with Him and His Church through the work of the Holy Spirit, who makes us brand new, sanctifies us in Christ, and calls us to a life of service to God. Through the work of the Holy Spirit, the Word of God is applied to our hearts and minds, as we grow continually in Christ’s likeness, until our death or Christ’s return.
We believe there will be a final judgment in which the dead will be raised and all mankind will be judged according to each man’s works. Those whose names are not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life will receive everlasting punishment in the lake of fire, which is the second death.
We believe there will be a new heaven and a new earth where righteousness will dwell forever.
