Statement of Faith

We believe that the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired and authoritative Word of God and the final standard for faith and life. We believe that there is one true and living God who eternally exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man through the virgin birth, lived a sinless life, and died on the cross as the atoning sacrifice for sin. He rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and will return again in power and glory. We believe that all people are created in the image of God but are separated from Him because of sin and are therefore in need of salvation. We believe that salvation is a gift of God’s grace and is received through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ alone. We believe that the Holy Spirit regenerates, indwells, and sanctifies believers, enabling them to grow in faith and obedience. We believe that the church is the body of Christ made up of all believers and that its mission is to worship God, teach His Word, and proclaim the gospel to the world as commanded by Christ in Mark 16:15 in the Gospel of Mark. We believe that Jesus Christ will return again to judge the living and the dead and that those who trust in Him will have eternal life in the presence of God.
