Who We Are & What We Believe!

We are a community church passionate about living our daily lives the way Jesus did: loving God and loving people! Below, are our 10 doctrinal statements of faith - what we believe - which is based on the Bible, God's inerrant & inspired Word.

WE BELIEVE . . .
1. There is one God, who is infinitely pefect, existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Duet. 6:4; Matt. 5:48; Matt. 28:19)
2. Jesus Christ is the true God and the true man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust, as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all who believe in Him are justified on the the ground of His shed blood. He arose from the dead according to the Scriptures. He is now at the right hand of the Father on high as our great High Priest. He will come again to establish His kingdom, righteousness and peace. (Phil. 2:6-11; Luke 1:36-38; Peter 3:18; Heb. 2:9; Rom. 5:9; Acts 2:23-24; Heb. 8:1; Matthew 26:64)
3. The Holy Spirit is a divine person, sent to dwell, guide, teach, comfort, empower the believer, and convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. (John 14:15-18; John 16:13; Acts 1:9; John 16:7-11)
4. The Old and New Testaments, inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men. They constitute the divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice. (2 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Tim. 3:15-16)
5. Man was created in the image and likeness of God; he fell through disobedience, incurring thereby both physical and spiritual death. All men are born with a sinful nature, are separated from the life of God, and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ. The portion of the unrepentant and unbelieving is existence forever in conscious torment; and that of the believer, in everlasting joy with God. (Gen. 1:27; Rom. 3:23; I Cor. 15:20-23; Rev. 21:8; Rev. 21:1-4)
6. Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all men; those who repent and believe in Him are born again of the Holy Spirit, receive the gift of eternal life, and become the children of God (Titus 3:4-7)
7. Each believer receives the Holy Spirit at conversion, and it is the will of God that he/she should be continually filled with the Holy Spirit and be sanctified wholly, being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to the will of God, thereby receiving power for holy living and effective service. This is both a crisis and a progressive experience wrought in the life of the believer subsequent to conversion. (I Thess. 5:23; Acts 1:8; Rom. 6:1-14)
8. Provision is made in the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ for the healing of the mortal body. Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil are taught in the Scriptures and are privileges for the Church in this present age. (Matt. 8:16-17; James 5:13-16)
9. The Church consists of all those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, and are born again of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the Head of the Body, the Church, which has been commissioned by Him to go into all the world as a witness, preaching and teaching the gospel to all nations. The local church is a body of believers in Christ who are joined together for the worship of God, for edificaton through the Word of God, for prayer, fellowship, the proclamation of the gospel, and observance of the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper. (Eph. 1:22-23; Matt. 28:19-20; Acts. 2:41-47)
10. There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust; for the former, a resurrection unto life; for the latter, a resurrection unto judgment. The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent and will be personal and visible. (I Cor. 15:20-23; John 5:28-29)
