Our Beliefs
- We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.
- We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God.
- We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, alive and active. We believe that all Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.
- We believe that the Church of Christ, upon earth is essentially, intentionally, and constitutionally one; consisting of all those in every place that profess their faith in Christ and obedience to Him in all things according to the Scriptures.
- We believe that faith is a personal response to the initiative of God which accepts certain facts and principles as being true.
- We believe that repentance is a necessary response toward our sinfulness in view of the saving work of Jesus.
- We believe that baptism is an appropriate and necessary act of obedience once a person is a committed believer in Christ.
- We celebrate the Lord’s Supper on a weekly basis because of its prominence in scripture, its pattern among early churches, and its relevance to our lives.
- We believe that prayer is a natural expression of one’s relationship with God. We believe that God hears our prayers, assists us with praying, and answers our prayers according to God’s will.
- We believe that the giving of money is an important aspect of worship. We believe that giving should be motivated by love and described as generous.
- We believe that the church exists to save lost people and to teach believers so that they might become mature. Every Christian participates in the mission of the church.
- We believe that Jesus will return to the earth a second time to judge the living and the dead. We want to live in eternity with God and God’s people.
- We believe that God created mankind in His image. Male and female – sexually and biologically different but with equal value and access to God through faith in Jesus Christ. Adam and Eve were created to complement each other in a one-flesh union we call marriage. We also believe in the value of each individual. Singleness is an equally holy pursuit and expression for followers of Jesus. For those who decide to marry, we believe God ordained marriage to be between one man and one woman. It is only within this covenantal relationship God has given the gift of sex, and he declares it good! This marriage relationship can serve as an example of the love Christ has for the church.
