Our Beliefs

We believe that the Bible is God's inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word, and is the sole written revelation that rules the faith and practice for all Christians, and alone can bind the conscience. We believe that God has preserved His Word, and that by His power it has been kept from being lost, destroyed, or diluted with error.

We believe in one God, Creator of all things, perfect in love and holiness, Who exists as three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and entered human form by the miracle of the Virgin Birth, that He lived a sinless life, and that He died for our sins. Christ is the only mediator through whose work we are redeemed. We believe that He rose again on the third day and now sits at the right hand of God as our Advocate.

We believe that the Holy Spirit is God. His ministry is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. We believe that He brings about the new birth, indwells, baptizes, seals, anoints, and endows all who are regenerated with spiritual gifts. The Holy Spirit also leads believers who daily surrender their life to Him by guiding, teaching, sanctifying and filling them.

We believe that all people are created in the image of God. At the same time, because of Adam's sin, all people are sinful by nature and choice. Apart from forgiveness through Jesus Christ, all are lost and alienated from God.

We believe that salvation rests solely on the work of God's grace for us and in us. We are justified by grace through faith alone. Christ's death is the only payment for sin that God will accept. Additionally, the righteousness of Christ is transferred to us by faith and is the only merit or righteousness that God will accept. We possess the righteousness of Christ in the sight of God. All who truly believe in Christ are born again and become the children of God. All true believers, once saved, are kept by God's power, not our own, and are thus secure in Christ forever.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, the saved to eternal life, and the lost to judgment and everlasting punishment.

We believe that the Church consists of all who believe in Jesus Christ as Savior. The local Church exists to exalt Christ, encourage believers, and evangelize the world. We believe that every local church is a natural expression of the Body of Christ and should seek to encourage all Christhonoring churches and ministries.
