What we believe
The Bible is God’s reliable word for all people and is the believer’s final authority for life. (2 Timothy 3:16)
There is one God eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (John 1:1-14; Acts 5:3-4)
Mankind was created in the image of God but sinned, resulting in separation from God and death. (Romans 5:12)
Jesus the Messiah was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin and is true God and true man, the only mediator between God and humanity. (1 Timothy 2:5)
Jesus died as the substitutionary sacrifice for our sins and rose again in order to justify all those who repent of their sins and place their trust in him. (Romans 3:23-36)
All who genuinely trust in Jesus Christ are forgiven of their sins and are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, baptized by him into the church, the spiritual body of which Jesus is the head. (Titus 3:5-7; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13)
A local church is a spiritual family of believers in Jesus Christ who commit to follow his leadership in covenant relationship with one another under the supervision of biblically-qualified leaders. (1 Timothy 3:1-15)
Those who genuinely trust in Jesus Christ are eternally secure, and will demonstrate their secure position by engaging in good works and persevering in faith throughout their lives. (Romans 8:29-30; James 2:17)
Jesus will return to the earth to claim and reward those who belong to him and to judge those who do not. (John 14:3; Revelation 20:11-15)

We believe the Bible is God’s absolute truth for all people, for all times; it is our final authority for discerning truth.
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
-
We believe that sinners are saved by God’s grace alone because apart from His grace we do not have the ability nor the desire to please Him or earn His favor.
“And you were dead in your trespasses and sins in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ – by grace you have been saved.” (Ephesians 2:1-5)
-
We believe that we are saved by faith in Jesus Christ alone apart from any human merit, works or ritual. Genuine faith produces Christglorifying fruit in the people of God for the glory of God.
“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” (Ephesians 2:8-10)
-
We believe that we are saved by Christ alone, who is fully God and fully man. Christ was our substitute who died for our sins on the cross and was raised from the dead on the third day.
“For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.” (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)Item description
-
We believe in the triune God who exists in three distinct Persons (Father, Son, and Spirit) who created, sustains and sovereignly rules over all things, and to whom belongs all the glory forever and ever.
“For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever.” (Romans 11:36)
