Our Beliefs

The Eternal God
We believe that God is a three-person being: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (II Corinthians 13:14)
The Plan of Salvation
We believe that while we were still sinners Christ died in our place; paying for all of our sins past, present and future. (John 3:16; Romans 5:8)
Salvation through Grace
We believe that salvation comes only through Jesus by God's grace and our faith not by our good works. (Ephesians 2:8)
Water Baptism
We believe that all new believers should be baptized in water to publicly announce their new faith in Jesus Christ. (Matthew 28:19)
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is the Person and the Power by which assistance and ability are given for serving and for sharing the life of God with others. (Acts 1:8; 2:4)

Moderation
We believe that a believer's daily walk and experience should never lead into extremes of fanaticism or be out or order. (Philippians 4:5)
Church Relationship
We believe that it is a believer's duty to identify and regularly assemble with other believers in a local church. (Acts 16:5; Hebrews 10:25)
Tithes and Offerings
We believe that the method designed by God for the support and spread of His cause is the giving of tithes and free-will offerings. Malachi 3:10;II Corinthians 9:7)
