What we believe:

(Please see expanded details under “What We Believe – A Summary“)

A Bible Believing Church:
Although God has clearly declared His power and Godhead to us through creation, He has verbally and specifically revealed Himself to us in the Bible, which is the Word of God.  The Bible is our only infallible rule of faith and practice.  The Bible tells us who God is, why man is a lost sinner, how God has extended his love, mercy and grace to us through Jesus Christ for salvation, and what duty God requires of man.

A Christ Centered Church:
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Second Person of the Trinity, the Eternal Son of God, co-equal and co-eternal with God the Father and the Holy Spirit.  Jesus Christ must have preeminence in all things, for He is the only Redeemer and Savior.  Our Lord Jesus Christ permanently took on sinless humanity through the literal virgin birth as prophesied in the Old Testament.  Christ died in our place, as our substitute, on the Cross of Calvary, was buried, and rose again (literally and bodily) the third day according to the Scriptures.  As man, He is able to identify with us and represent us before our Heavenly Father.  As God, He is holy, sinless, and able to satisfy the divine justice of a Holy God.  Eternal salvation is obtained by faith alone, in Christ alone.  Good works are the result of salvation, not its cause.

A Gospel Preaching Church:  All human beings come into this world as lost sinners under the judgment of God and needing to be saved.  We believe that the human race fell into sin when Adam sinned.  Adam is the literal, single progenitor of the human race with his wife Eve, both of whom were created on the literal 6th day of creation in the image of God.  As a result of the sin of Adam each of us has a sin nature, and is a sinner by practice.  All human beings are consequently under God’s wrath and curse and are, because of the sin of Adam and our own personal sins, made liable to all the miseries of this life, to death itself, and to the pains of hell forever.  God the Father, in love, sent His only begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, to pay the penalty for man’s sin. Jesus Christ died in our place and is the Redeemer and Savior of all who trust Him.
