Beliefs

  1. We acknowledge the Creator-God as our Heavenly Father, infinitely perfect and intimately acquainted with all our ways.

  2. We proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, God in the flesh, the object of our worship and the subject of our praise.

  3. We recognize the Holy Spirit as the third member of the Godhead, incessantly at work convicting, comforting, guiding and gifting.

  4. We affirm our confidence in God’s inspired, authoritative Word.  We treasure the truths of the Bible and respect its reproofs. 

  5. We confess that Adam’s fall into sin left humanity without the hope of heaven apart from a new birth, made possible by the Savior's death and bodily resurrection.

  6. We believe the offer of salvation is God’s love gift to all. Those who accept it by faith in Christ, apart from works, become new creatures in him.

  7. We anticipate our Lord’s promised return, which could be at any moment.

  8. We are convinced that all who have died will be brought back from beyond — believers to everlasting communion with God and unbelievers to everlasting separation from God.

  9. We know the Lord is continuing to enlarge his Family, the Body of Christ universal, over which he rules as Head.

  10. We are grateful to be a part of a local Church which exists to proclaim God’s truth, to administer the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper, to stimulate growth toward maturity and to bring glory to God.

  11. We believe in the biblical definition of marriage between one man and one woman and in the sanctity of life.
