...worshipping God, making Jesus the Lord of our lives, and
sharing the truth of God's Word with our community and the world.

|
...by creating environments where people are encouraged and equipped
to pursue a relationship with God.

|
We believe the entire Bible is the
inspired Word of God and that men were moved by the Spirit of God to
write the very words of Scripture. Therefore, we believe the Bible is
without error.
|
|
We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ,
shed on the cross, provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sin.
Therefore, salvation occurs only when a person places his or her faith
in the death and resurrection of Christ as the sufficient payment for
his or her sin.
|
|
We believe in one God who exists in three distinct
persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ is
the Son of God, who became flesh to reveal God to man and to become the
Savior of the lost world.
|
|
We believe that every Christian
should live for Christ and not for himself. By obedience to the Word of
God and daily yielding to the Spirit of God, every believer should
mature and be conformed to the image of Christ.
|
|
We believe that mankind was created in the
image of God to have fellowship with Him but became alienated in that
relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, man is incapable
of regaining a right relationship with God through his own effort.
|
|
We believe that the church is the body of
Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head. The members of the church
are those who have trusted by faith the finished work of Christ. The
purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving Him and by making Him
known to the lost world.
