ABOUT THE SCRIPTURES
We believe the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God (true, authoritative, and sufficient) and that men were moved by the Spirit of God to write the very words of Scripture. Therefore, we believe the Bible is without error.
 
ABOUT GOD
We believe in one God who exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ is the second member of the Trinity (the Son of God) who became flesh (born of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary) to reveal God to humanity and to become the Savior of the lost world through His death on a roman cross and physical bodily resurrection.
 
ABOUT HUMANITY
We believe that all people were created in the image of God to have fellowship with him but became alienated in that relationship through sinful disobedience (birth and action). As a result, people are incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through their own efforts.
 
ABOUT SALVATION
We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sin. Therefore, God freely offers salvation to those who place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin.
 
ABOUT THE CHURCH
We believe that the church is the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head. The members of the church are those who have trusted by faith the finished work of Christ. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving him and by making him known to the lost world.
Our Core Values Minimize 

 

God Moving toward his creation:  Accepting and giving away God's Grace and Mercy to all people through the finished cross work of Jesus Christ.

 

God Living in our midst:  Teaching, revealing and empowering through the Bible and the Holy Spirit.

 

God Shaping our structure:  Organizing the formal so that the informal can function with the greatest freedom and impact.
