WHAT WE BELIEVE

We believe the 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.
2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21

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 humanity and to become the Savior of the world.
Genesis 1:26; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; Luke 1:35; 
John 1:1, 14, 14:16-17

We believe that all people were created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him but became alienated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, people are incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through their own efforts.
Genesis 1:26-31, 3:1-7; Romans 5:12-21, 6:23; 
John 6:44, 65; Titus 3:5-7

We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sin. Therefore, God freely offers salvation to those who place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin.
Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 2:16; Titus 3:5-7; 
Romans 10:9-10; Acts 16:31

We believe we are called to seek God above all else. By yielding to the Holy Spirit and walking in obedience to God's Word, we are conformed to the image of Christ. The Spirit of God uses the Word of God to renew the image of God in us.
Matthew 16:24; Galatians 2:20; 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5, 5:23;
2 Corinthians 3:18; Romans 8:29, 12:1-2; Hebrews 12:14

We believe that the church is the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head. We become part of His body by trusting in the finished work of Christ at the Cross. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving Him and by making Him known to the lost world.
Matthew 16:18; Romans 12:5; Colossians 1:18; 
Ephesians 1:22-23, 2:19-22; John 17:11, 20-23
