Statement Of Faith
THE BIBLE
The Bible is the core truth of our ministry. We believe the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments to be infallible and inerrant truth given to man by God and inspired by His Holy Spirit.
SALVATION
Salvation is God’s free gift, but we must first ask Jesus to be our Savior to receive this gift. We believe God desires all to be in eternal fellowship with Him; therefore, through faith in His saving grace, the saving work of Jesus on the cross, we can repent and be reconciled to Him forever.
MINISTRY
Before leaving, Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to empower men and women to continue his work in the world. The Holy Spirit is our sole source of hope, strength, wisdom, and joy. He gifts us beyond our natural ability with the ability to love, serve, and build His Kingdom of followers.
THE CHURCH
All who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior are united with him as members of His Body, the Church. The Church exists wherever God’s people meet to worship, pray, serve each other and study His word.
BAPTISM
We believe the purpose of baptism is to publicly declare oneself as a believer in Jesus Christ. It is ultimately an act of obedience as all are commanded, symbolizing spiritual cleansing as one chooses to accept God’s forgiveness and rebirth as one joins in His resurrection.
