What We Believe About

His Son Jesus

What We Believe About

His Son Jesus

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that he took on human form, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and died on the cross as payment for the sins of all mankind. He rose from the dead, defeating sin and death. His sacrifice makes it possible for anyone who accepts his gift of salvation to be reconciled with God.

The Scriptures

What We Believe About

The Scriptures

We believe that the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments are divinely inspired and inerrant as written in its original languages. As the full and complete revelation of God, the Bible contains timeless truth that offers practical guidance and wisdom for our daily lives.

What We Believe About

Man & His Position

What We Believe About

Man & His Position

We believe that all men and women are created in the image of God and designed for relationship with God. Yet, while he was created perfect, man voluntarily chose to sin against God, causing an eternal separation that can only be restored through Jesus Christ.

What We Believe About

The Gift of Salvation

What We Believe About

The Act of Baptism

What We Believe About

The Act of Baptism

We believe baptism by immersion is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer’s faith in Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection — and a representation of their decision to die to sin, bury their old nature, and be raised to a new life in Christ.
