"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,and teaching them
everything I have commanded you."
Jesus of Nazareth (Matthew 28:19-20a)

What We Believe
The Bible, as originally
written, was given through inspiration by God Himself
without error to show us God's plan for how to enter
into a relationship with him and how to live our lives.
It is God's final authority for all Christian faith
and life.
There is only one God, Creator of everything,
absolutely perfect, and existing forever in three persons:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ was wholly God and wholly
man. The Holy Spirit placed Him in the womb and He was
born to the virgin Mary. He died on the cross for our
sins. Further, he arose bodily from the dead and ascended
into Heaven.
Man was created in the image of God.
Because of sin mankind is separated from God and faces
eternity apart from God. However, through faith in Christ,
we can receive a new life and the assurance of eternal
life with God.
The death and bodily resurrection of
Jesus Christ provide the only way to complete forgiveness
and acceptance by God. Only those who believe that Jesus
died for them personally, who turn away from their sins,
and confess Jesus to be their Lord and Savior are given
new life through the Holy Spirit.
The personal and imminent return of
our Lord Jesus Christ is what we await.
There will be a bodily resurrection
of all dead. The believer will be raised to a life of
peace, joy and worship forever with the Lord Jesus Christ.
The unbeliever will be condemned to never-ending suffering
and conscious punishment.
