Statement of Faith

• We believe in one God, creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in a united relationship of three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 4:6; Jeremiah 10:10; Deuteronomy 6:4; Genesis 1:1; Genesis 1:26-27

• We believe in the incarnation: that Jesus Christ is true God and true man.  Jesus had a virgin birth, lived a sinless life, died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins, arose bodily from the grace and ascended to heaven where he is our advocate.

Mark 14:61-62; John 1:1-14; Philippians 2:5-11; Luke 24:50-53; Acts 1:10-11

• We believe this is the Gospel or “Good News Message”  as it is summarized in

• We believe the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to convict people of sin, regenerate the believing sinner, indwell, instruct, and empower the believing community  for Godly living and service.  John 16:5-15; Acts 1:8;
• We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God, accurately communicating His intent, and is the final authority in the life and teaching of God’s People.

2 Peter 1:20-21;  2 Timothy 3:16-17

• Specifically, we take very seriously Paul’s reminder in 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 that the Gospel (Good News Message) is “of first importance” and should be held on to “firmly.”

• We believe God’s saving grace is His free gift and that the death of Christ on cross is the only sufficient payment for our sins.  Salvation is available for any who put their trust in Christ as Savior, responding to Him by having faith and being faithful, repenting of sin, confessing the Lordship of Christ, participating in the Gospel by being baptized (immersed), and participating in new life and ministry through the Holy Spirit with other believers.

John 3:16;  Ephesians 2:1-10; Romans 6:3-4

• We believe the church is the Body of Christ on earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit to live in relational community just as God lives in relational community, and to continue the incarnational task of reaching the lost and discipling the saved, helping all people become fully devoted Christ-Followers.

Ephesians 1:18-23; Matthew 28:16-20

• We believe that Christ will one day return and reign forever in the bodily resurrection of all humankind.

John 14:1-3; 1 Corinthians 15; Matthew 25:31-33
