What We Believe

The Purpose of God

We affirm our belief in the one-eternal God, Creator and Lord of the world, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who governs all things according to the purpose of his will. He has been calling out from the world a people for himself, and sending his people back into the world to be his servants and his witnesses, for the extension of his kingdom, the building up of Christ’s body, and the glory of his name. We confess with shame that we have often denied our calling and failed in our mission, by becoming conformed to the world or by withdrawing from it. Yet we rejoice that even when borne by earthen vessels the gospel is still a precious treasure. To the task of making that treasure known in the power of the Holy Spirit we desire to dedicate ourselves anew. ISA. 40:28; MATT. 28:19; EPH. 1:11

The Power of the Bible

We affirm the divine inspiration, truthfulness and authority of both Old and New Testament Scriptures in their entirety as the only written word of God, without error in all that it affirms, and the only infallible rule of faith and practice. We also affirm the power of God’s word to accomplish his purpose of salvation. The message of the Bible is addressed to all men and women. For God’s revelation in Christ and in Scripture is unchangeable. Through it the Holy Spirit still speaks today. He illumines the minds of God’s people in every culture to perceive its truth freshly through their own eyes and thus discloses to the whole Church ever more of the many-colored wisdom of God. II TIM. 3:16; II PET. 1:21; JOHN 10:35

Our Core Values

WHAT WE BELIEVE

We believe The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the divine inspiration of God, given to man as our infallible rule of faith and daily practice.

Man was created innocent, but by disobedience fell into a state of sin and condemnation. Every person, therefore, inherits a fallen nature of such tendencies that all who come to years of accountability will sin and become guilty before God. The human will is free and self-controlled, having power to yield to the influence of the truth and the Spirit, or to resist and perish.

God determined from the beginning that He wanted all that are obedient to his Word not to perish but have everlasting life.

THE TRINITY

God – There is one living and true God, the Creator, Preserver, and Righteous King of all Kings of the universe; and in the Scriptures knows as The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, The Trinity; yet as one God, infinitely wise and good, whom all are to love, trust and obey above all else.

Christ – Christ is God manifest in the flesh, in His divine nature truly God, in His human nature truly man. The mediator between God and man, once crucified, He is now risen and glorified, and is our ever-present Savior and Lord. The Son of God by His incarnation, lived as man, was tempted, was tortured, and crucified and on the third day rose with victory over death, hell, and the grave. Is now our savior and intercessory to God.

Holy Spirit – Through the power of the Holy Spirit, believers are saved, filled, sealed, and sanctified. The Holy Spirit reveals God’s thoughts, teaches, and guides believers into all truth. The Holy Spirit also helps Christians in their weakness and intercedes for them.

SALVATION

The conditions of salvation are: (1) Repentance of sin or sincere sorrow for sin and hearty renunciation of it. (2) Faith or the unreserved committal of oneself to Christ as your personal Savior and Lord with purpose to love, trust and obey Him in all things. In the exercise of saving faith, the soul is renewed by the Holy Spirit, freed from the dominion of sin, and becomes a child of God. (3) Continuance in faith and obedience unto death. God desires the salvation of all, the Gospel invites all, the Holy Spirit strives with all, and whosoever will, may come and take of the water of life freely.

All believers in Christ, who through grace persevere in holiness to the end of life, have the promise of eternal salvation and life everlasting.

We are a congregation of sinners, working each day to perfect our lives through the reading of Scripture, through prayer, and worship. We are an open group, we invite all to attend to hear the Good News, to share our struggles and lean on each other.

Fellowship

We believe fellowship in our walk of faith is fundamental to our walk with God.

Discipleship

We believe once you have accepted Jesus as your Savior that it is our job to educate and make disciples for The Lord.
