Core Values
I believe that there is one living and true God eternally existing in three persons, the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. {Trinity}
I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only son. I believe that Jesus is both God and man. I believe in his virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, teachings, atoning death for my sins, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, and personal and visible second coming back to earth.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, who came forth from the Father and the Son to convict the world of sin, righetousness, and judgment and to regenerate, sanctify and empower for ministry all who believe. I believe in the present day ministry of the Holy Spirit and in the exercise of all of the biblical gifts of the Spirit.
I believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are the Word of God, fully inspired, and the Infallable rule of faith and practice, and that they are to be interpreted according to their context and purpose.
I believe that all people are sinful by nature and choice and are therefore under condemnation and in need of salvation. Salvation is offered to ALL MANKIND and is found only in accepting the atoning death consisting of the shedding of His blood for your sins, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ alone. I believe that salvation is by the grace of God alone.
I believe in the church, both Invisible and Visible, world-wide and local, the living and spiritual body, of which Christ is the head and all regenerated persons are members.
I believe in the sacraments of Baptism by immersion into water and the Lord's Supper {Communion}.
I believe that the church is intended by God to observe the ordanices of Christ, govern by His law, exercise the gifts, privileges, and discipline invested in the church by His Word and His Holy Spirit, and seeking to extend the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth.
I believe in the personal, visible appearing of Christ to earth and the consummation of His Kingdom, in the resurrection of the body, the final judgement and eternal blessing of the righetous, and the endless suffering of the wicked.
