| What We Believe
1. We believe in one God, the creator of all things, eternal, infinite, perfect, and manifested in three persons as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
2. We believe that Jesus Christ is God and that He became a man in order to die on the cross as a substitute for sinners. He rose from the dead three days later, and today He is in Heaven at the Father’s right hand.
3. We believe that the Bible is the living, unchanging Word of God. Every word is inspired by God. It is completely relevant and reliable and is sufficient to meet all our spiritual needs.
4. We believe that mankind is born with a sinful nature. Our sin separates us from God and renders us helpless to save ourselves. Only through the death of Christ can we be cleansed and forgiven.
5. We believe that salvation is by grace through faith. Eternal life is found exclusively in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Reception of Christ as Savior and Lord is necessary if one is to be saved.
6. We believe water baptism is by immersion, and must be observed by all who truly repent & believe on Christ as he commanded. (Matt. 28:19; Acts 10:47 , 48; Acts 2:38 ; 1 Pet. 3:21 Rom. 6:4, 5)
7. We believe in the blessed hope and return of Christ. The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep together with those who are alive and remain is the imminent and blessed hope of the Church.
