Statement of Faith
God is real. He is all-powerful, all-knowing, and totally in charge of the direction history is moving.
He is Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He created everything and everyone and every person matters deeply to Him. Everyone has sinned, so everyone needs Jesus, who died for our sins, rose again from the dead, and is coming back. Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone, and once you’re saved, you can’t lose your salvation.
Heaven and hell are real, as are angels and demons, including Satan. The Holy Spirit lives in every believer and empowers and gifts us to live and serve. The Bible, which is God’s Word, is both true and powerful. Baptism is when believers are immersed in water, not for salvation but to testify to the world we follow Jesus. Communion is a memorial to Jesus’ death. Jesus started the church, protects it through every age, and commissioned the church to tell the world about Him.

God
There is One eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the Creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise. God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Jesus
Jesus is the Word of God. He was with God in the beginning and nothing was made without Him. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. God has revealed Himself to us through His son, Jesus Christ, Who is the visible image of the invisible God, the Holy Scriptures, and through all of creation itself.
Mankind
God created humans, both male and female, and humans were created in God's image for His glory. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the rest of God's creations.
The Fall
When Adam and Eve chose not to obey God, they sinned and they ceased to be what they were made to be and became distorted images of God. This caused them to fall out of fellowship with God, and fractured all of creation ever since that time.
Salvation
Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised Him from the dead on the third day, and now, by grace, offers as a free gift eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as their Lord and Savior. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone as the One and Only Son of God and the only way to the Father.
The Church
The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. Scripture tells us the church is the body of Christ and the bride of Christ and we are supposed to meet regularly to pray, care for one another, worship God, study His Word, and make disciples.
Acts 2:42-47
Acts 2:42-47
Resurrection
Jesus Christ resurrected from the grave on the third day, appeared to over 500 people over a period of 40 days. He then ascended to the Father and sat down at His right hand to intercede for us. Jesus is returning one day soon to call the church to Himself, to judge both the living and the dead, and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.
Baptism
Marriage
We believe that everyone who has given their life to Jesus (Salvation) should then take the first step of obedience to Jesus to be baptized by immersion. Jesus commands it (Matt 28:19-20). It demonstrates that I really am a believer (Acts 18:8, 1 John 2:3). Plus we follow the example set by Jesus Himself (Mark 1:9). It illustrates Christ's death, burial, and resurrection (Colossians 2:12) and illustrates my new life as a Christian (Romans 6:4).
We believe that marriage is an institution ordained by God from the foundation of the world, and intended as a lifelong union between one man and one woman -
(Genesis 2:18-25).
Jesus Christ reaffirmed the teaching of the Old Testament when He said, as recorded in Matthew 19:4-6 - “Haven’t you read, he replied, that at the beginning the creator made them male and female and said for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate.”
(Genesis 2:18-25).
