WHAT WE BELIEVE

WE BELIEVE that all scriptures are inspired by God, without error and the fundamental authority in which we determine all truths.

WE BELIEVE in one God, the creator of all things, who exists in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

WE BELIEVE Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and Savior. As the ultimate sacrifice, He gave His life on the cross for our sins. We believe Jesus was resurrected and ascended into heaven. Salvation is found through confession with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and Savior of your life.

WE BELIEVE in Water Baptism as a direct commandment from God and an outward expression that we have put away the old ways of life and have been raised to a new way of life in Christ.

WE BELIEVE in partaking of Communion as the celebration of the Lord Supper, a time of remembrance of what God has done for us and what Jesus did on the cross.

WE BELIEVE the church is a divinely ordained institution, a select and chosen body of believers, baptized by the Holy Spirit into One Body, whose mission is to exalt the Savior and Head, Jesus Christ, giving worship, praise, and worthyness to God the Father in Spirit and in Truth.
