Statement of Faith

What we Believe
For our full statement of faith, you can simply request one when you visit. But below is a highlight of some of our core beliefs as a local church.
The Scriptures
We believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God in all of its parts, and without error. The Bible is the sole infallible rule for faith and practice in the church. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:19-21)
The Godhead
We believe there is one true God, the Creator and Ruler of all creation. The only eternal, un-created Being. (Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah 43:10, 44:6-8, 45:18&21-22)
He co-subsists in three distinct, co-equal, and co-eternal divine Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (1John 5:7, Matthew 28:19, 1Peter 1:2, 2Corinthians 13:14)
The Person and Work of Christ
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the second Person of the Trinity, the Eternal Word made flesh, and the only begotten Son of God. He was fully God and fully man. He lived a sinless life, and shed His sinless blood on Calvary for the sins of the whole world. (John 1:1-3, John 8:58-59, Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 9:6, Colossians 2:8-9, Philippians 2:5-8, Titus 2:13-14, 2Peter 1:1&11)
The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity. He is the Christian's great Comforter, as well as the One who brings the world conviction of sin, judgment, and righteousness. (John 16:8, 14:16)
Creation
We believe that God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit created the universe and everything in it in six, 24 hour days, just as the Genesis account plainly records. (Gen 1, 2, Col:16-17)
The Return of Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is returning to this earth, just as He said, and will establish His millennial reign. Further, His return is always imminent. (Matt 24:44, Rev 20:1-6)
Man
We believe that man was originally created in the image of God, but Adam's sin in the garden has forced a separation between a Holy God and sinful man. Further, that Adam's sin has been passed along to all men. For, both by nature and by choice, all are sinners. (Rom 3:23, 5:12-21)
The Way of Salvation
We believe that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone and is a free gift of God. Salvation is found only in the person and finished work of Christ, and cannot be procured or otherwise merited by any other means or work of man. Further, we hold that God desires for all mankind to enter into His salvation through a personal relationship with Christ. (Eph 2:8-9, Rom 6:23, 2 Peter 3:9)
The Church
We believe that the local church is comprised of of immersed believers that have been born again by the Spirit of God. Further, we hold that every church member has been saved to serve, and should diligently seek the Lord's will to do just that in a local church setting. (Col 1:18, Acts 2:41-42)
