Why we exist ...

LOVE PEOPLE

One of the things that made Christ’s ministry so powerful is that he loved people. He touched the untouchable and spent time with both the rich and the poor. We strive to follow the example of Jesus and love others without prejudice and judgment. Just unadulterated, genuine love. 

LEARN THE TRUTH

God’s Word is full of rich and life changing truths. We believe that the answers to life’s questions can be found by studying and applying the wisdom and knowledge that we gain from the Bible. As a church, we learn through Sunday services, small group Bible studies called Life Groups, one on one discipleship, and personal accountability amoung friends. 

LIVE FOR CHRIST

Cultivating a personal walk with Christ is vital in the Christians life, but this inward walk with Christ should overflow into our outward actions. We do our best to help believers identify their God-given spiritual gifts, and give them opportunities to use those gifts to serve Christ through their local church.

What We Believe ...

• THE BIBLE

  We believe that the Bible is the inerrant, inspired Word of God and that it is our final authority in all matters of faith and practice.  II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21

• GOD

   We believe that God is a Person, eternally existing, as a Trinity in unity – God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit – three Persons, yet one God. Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 26:19; I Corinthians 8:6; I John 5:7

• JESUS CHRIST

  We believe that Jesus Christ, eternally existing, is the only begotten Son of God, who became a sinless man in order to redeem us. He was born of a virgin, and is true God and true man. Luke 1:30-35; John 1:1-15; Philippians 2:5-8; Colossians 1:15

• THE HOLY SPIRIT

  We believe that the Holy Spirit is God, the third person of the Trinity. He is equal in essence to both God the Father and God the Son. The Holy Spirit is a person, He has intellect, emotion, and will. John 16:13, Acts 2:4, 5:9, 8:29

• SIN

   We believe that man was created in the image of God, but fell through sin, bringing not only physical death, but also spiritual death or eternal separation from God.  Now all of mankind exists as a fallen race, with an inherited sinful nature. Genesis 1:26-27; 2:16, 3:16-19; Romans 3:10-23; 6:23

• SACRIFICE OF CHRIST

  We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ suffered and died as a substitutionary payment for the sins of the whole world. He physically arose from the dead and then ascended into Heaven. Simple faith in this sacrifice is the only way of salvation for mankind. Luke 24; Acts 1:9-11; Romans 5:8-9; I Peter 3:18

• SALVATION

  We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe the Bible format of repentance toward God (turning away from all other means of salvation and toward Christ and His blood atonement) and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. John 6:37-40; Romans 8:1; I Corinthians 1:4-8   

• ETERNAL SECURITY

  We believe, based on the Bible, that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God’s power and are thus secure in Christ forever. John 6:37-40; Romans 8:1, 38-39; I Corinthians 1:4-5; I Peter 1:4-5
