The Bible

We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, divinely inspired.
It is inerrant in the original manuscripts and preserved by God for us. 
It is authoritative for this church and for each of us for every age.


God

We believe that God exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
These three are one God. We believe God created the universe by His power and Word.
We believe that God is all knowing, all-powerful and ever present.


Jesus Christ

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with God the Father. Jesus lived
a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying
on a cross. He rose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death.
He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again someday to reign as Lord.


Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit is a person, is God, and has all the divine characteristics.
He indwells all believers, baptizes and seals them at the moment of salvation.
He fills them in response to confession of sin and surrender to Him.


Salvation

We believe that Jesus, through His death on the cross, provided salvation for all. However, to receive salvation one must repent of sin and trust Jesus Christ alone. The true believer is eternally secure and cannot lose his salvation. He may, however, lose his joy by sin and bring the loving discipline of the Father upon himself. All who have received Christ will at death depart to be with Christ in their spirits and at Christ's return receive a new body which will be like His glorious body.


The Church

We believe a New Testament church is a local body of believers who have
agreed together to love God, love each other, and serve the world.
