We believe…
The Bible is the inspired Word of God,
……and is the final authority for Christian faith and living.
God exists eternally in three persons:
……Father, Son and Holy Spirit;
……He is creator of all things,
……has revealed Himself to be perfect in love,
……and is righteous in all His ways.
Jesus Christ is God's eternal Son.
……Born of a virgin, He took the form of man;
……through His sinless life He taught men how to live.
……He was crucified as a sacrifice for our sins;
……He rose from the dead, according to scriptures,
……and returned to heaven to prepare a place for us;
……He will come again to receive believers into the presence of God.
Men and Women created in God's image,
……were tempted by Satan and rebelled against God.
……Through repentance and personal faith in Christ, we are forgiven
……of our sins, reborn into a new relationship with God
……and placed into the body of Christ.
The Holy Spirit convicts of our sin,
……guides us to repent and confess Christ as Savior.
……He lives in us, teaches us, and
……empowers us by His indwelling presence to live a holy life.
The Church is the living body of Christ,
……on mission for Christ in the world.
……Christ is at its head.
……Division in the Body of Christ is inappropriate.
……The body is composed of all who have received Christ as savior
……and have accepted Him as Lord.
The kingdom of God is a present reality in the world.
……Its citizens are all those who willingly submit to the
……Lordship of Christ and the rule and reign of God.
