What We Believe:

The Church has endured severe division throughout the centuries over non-essential issues.  We don’t want to get caught up in this frenzy of splintering relationships.  Our core beliefs are for the purpose of fellowship and unity.

·      The Bible is the divine revelation of God to mankind.  It is our fixed source of authority for faith and conduct, without error.  It is endurable for all generations and cultures.

·      God is eternal.  Having always existed outside of time and space, a single being consisting of three, interrelated Persons-the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

·      Jesus is the eternal Son of God.  Conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin.  The One who ultimately restored mankind from sin, raised from the dead and is seated with the Heavenly Father.

·      The Holy Spirit is present to make people aware of their need of Jesus.  The Holy Spirit is present to empower the believer to live their destiny in following Jesus.

·      Mankind is made in the spiritual image of God.  Mankind is fallen from innocence due to willful choice to do wrong, destined for eternal separation from God, but is provided an opportunity to be reconciled through Christ.  Mankind is invited to accept Christ, repent of sin and get a fresh start.

·      The Church is the body of Christ.  It consists of all Christians on a three-fold mission of Reaching Up, Reaching In and Reaching Out.

·      The future is hopeful for those prepared for the imminent return of Christ.  Followers of Jesus look forward to eternal life with Christ.
