WE BELIEVE
Our Core Beliefs
As a church family, we are united in our core beliefs and values, which identify who we are. We heartily invite you to study, learn and apply God’s direction to your lives (Jeremiah 10:23; Proverbs 14:12; Matthew 15:8,9).
- Jesus Christ is the one and only sacrifice for our sins. He arose from the dead proving His claims to be the Lord Jesus Christ. No one can come to the Father except through the Son. (Ephesians 1:7; Acts 4:12; Romans 1:4; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8; John 14:6)
- The Bible is the inspired Word of God – a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. (2 Timothy 3:16; Psalm 119:105)
- Every person has worth as a creation of God, but all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Genesis 1:26; Hebrews 12:9; Romans 3:23)
- Forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life are available to those who trust and obey Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. (Hebrews 5:8-9; 12:9; 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9; 1 Peter 4:17; John 3:36)
- Those willing to obey Christ must believe in God and Jesus as presented in the Bible. They must repent of sin, confess their faith and be baptized into Him for forgiveness of sins, making contact with the shed blood of Jesus Christ and thus enabling reliance on His Grace and Mercy to save us from our sin. (Hebrews 11:6; John 14:1; Mark 16:15-16; Romans 10:9-10; Acts 2:38, Acts 22:16; Romans 6:3-5; Galatians 3:26-27)
- The church is the Body of Christ on earth. The church is strengthened by the Holy Spirit through the faith as it is nourished by the word of God. It exists to save the lost and edify the saved (Ephesians 1:22-23; 4:4; Ephesians 3:16; 6:17; Romans 10:17; Revelation 2:7, 17; Matthew 9:37-38; 28:18-20; Ephesians 4:29-30 ).
- Jesus Christ will one day return to take God’s children to be with him forever and all men will bow their knee to Jesus and every tongue will confess to God. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, Romans 14:11-12; Philippians 2:9-11)
