About the Scriptures: 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.
About God: We believe in one God who
exists in three distinct persons: Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus
Christ is the second member of the Trinity
(the Son of God) who became flesh to reveal
God to man and to become the Savior of the
lost world.
About Mankind: 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 alone.
About Salvation: 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
people place their faith in the death and
resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment
for their sin.
About the Christian Life: 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.
About the Church: 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.
