Below is a list of just some of our key beliefs. You can click on each statement for a more detailed explanation and scripture references. If you have any other questions for us, please let us know
God is triune.
We believe in one God in three persons: the Father (God), the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit.John 1:1-2 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.
How to get to God
God wants to bring His creation back into fellowship with Him. He does not want any person to die and go to hell, so He has given His son to the world to pay for their sins.1 Peter 3:18 For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit
The Bible is perfect and complete.
We believe that the Bible is the inspired and perfect word of God.2nd Peter 1:20-21 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had it's origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
2nd Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness ...
Jesus: Son of God
We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ: He was sinless and born of a virgin.John 10:30 I and the Father are one.
Phil 2:6-8 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing,taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man,he humbled himself and became obedient to death-even death on a cross!

Humans are born with a sin nature.
We believe that all humans are born with sin natures and are separated from God.Romans 3:23 ... for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans 3:10 As it is written: 'There is no one righteous, not even one;...'
God's gift of salvation
We believe that salvation from this sin is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and it is His gift to us to save us from our sins. For more information on this salvation, click here.Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works so that no one can boast.
Titus 3:5 ... he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit ...
Christ is coming back!
We believe that Jesus will soon return from heaven to take His believers back to heaven.John 14:2-3 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, i would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. [also see verses 4-6]
A body called out by God!
We believe that a New Testament Church is a body of baptized believers, gathering for worship, service, and spreading of the gospel of the grace of God to all the world.Matthew 28:18-20 Then Jesus came to them and said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 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, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.'
