OUR BELIEFS

• We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are the supernaturally inspired Word of God, and we accept them as our standard in matters of faith, conduct, and practice.

• We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

• We believe in the Deity and humanity of Jesus Christ, His miraculous birth, His sinless life, His death vicarious for our sins, His bodily resurrection, His ascension into Heaven, and His future return.

• We believe that all humans were made in the image of God, but all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and consequently must be born again.

• We believe that God is not desirous that anyone should perish but that He will save by His grace all who will repent of their sins and come to Him through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ, as their personal Savior.

• We believe in the person of the Holy Spirit and that His divine mission is to convict the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; and that He regenerates and sanctifies the believing sinner and dwells in him forever."

Our Purpose

     "The purpose of this congregation is to give visible form to that faith and fellowship to which God has called his people. We acknowledge ourselves to be a local manifestation of the universal church in and through which Jesus Christ continues to minister to the world by His Holy Spirit. We shall seek to fulfill this calling through corporate worship services, through a program of Christian nurture by which our members may be built up in their faith and love, through proclamation of the gospel by word and deed, and through ministering to human need in the name of Christ."
