What We Believe

Our Statement of Faith

The Holy Scriptures

The Holy Canonized Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God's revelation of Himself to man. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter.

The Triune God

There is one and only one living and true God. The eternal triune God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.

Salvation

Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. There is no salvation apart from personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord.

The Church

We believe in the local church as the body of Christ, called to worship, fellowship, evangelism, and discipleship. The church is God's instrument for spreading the Gospel to the world.

Baptism & The Lord's Supper

Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water. The Lord's Supper is a symbolic act of obedience, memorializeing the death of the Redeemer and anticipating His second coming.

Evangelism & Missions

It is the duty and privilege of every follower of Christ to endeavor to make disciples of all nations. The Lord Jesus Christ has commanded the preaching of the gospel to all nations.
