About God

- We believe there is only one true God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 32:39, Matthew 28:19, 1 John 5:7.)

About Jesus Christ

- We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. That He is God with Father and the Holy Spirit. (John 1:1-4, 1Timothy 3:16). We believe He was born of a virgin, (Matthew 1:18-24), lived a sinless life (2 Corinthians 5:21, 1 John 3:5), was crucified and buried, and rose from the dead on the third day (John 19:41-20:20), has ascended into heaven and will return to establish His eternal kingdom (Acts 1:9-11, Matthew 25:31 Revelation 20:4-6). We believe in the absolute Lordship of Jesus Christ and that faith in Him is the only way a person may be saved and enter heaven (Colossians 1:13-18, John 14:6, Romans 5:1) Reaching out purposefully into our local community.

About the Holy Spirit

- We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit and that they are in operation in the church today. (1 Corinthians 12:1-11. Romans 11:29) We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit that enables a believer to live a holy life (2 Peter 1:2-4, 1 John 3:4-6, 9, Galatians 5:16.)

About the Bible

- We believe the Bible to be the only inspired, infallible, authoritative, Word of God (2 Timothy 3:15-16.)

About the People

- We believe a person is saved by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 2:8-9). We believe the spirit-filled life is God’s plan for each person today. (Acts 2:1-4, 8:14-17, 19:1-6). We believe in eternal life for the saved and eternal damnation for the lost. ( 1 John 2:24-25, Revelation 20:15) People are made in the image of God, to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God’s creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God. This attitude, called sin, separates people from God and causes multiple problems in life (Genesis 1:27, Psalm 8:3-6, Romans 3:23.)

About Eternity

- We believe that God does not desire that anyone would perish, but for everyone to come to repentance and be saved. (2 Peter 3:9, 1 Timothy 2:4) We believe that heaven and hell are real places (2 Corinthians 12:1-4, Revelation4:1-2, Mark 9:42-48, Revelation 20:11-15.)
