Statement of Belief

WE BELIEVE IN ONE GOD

Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  We believe in God the Father Almighty; Creator of all things visible and invisible. 

WE BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST

God's one and only Son, our one and only Savior who was born Jesus of Nazareth, both fully human and fully divine; Who suffered and was crucified under Pontius Pilate; Who died and was buried, and rose bodily from the dead on the third day; Who ascended into Heaven and now sits at the right hand of the Father; Who will return to earth to judge both the living and the dead.  

WE BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT

Who is an active and operative part of the triune God 

Who indwells every Christian.

WE BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE

We believe God inspired the autographs (original writings) of the Scripture, and those autographs are without error. We accept the Bible as the final authority for all matters of faith and practice. We believe the Bible teaches that man, created by God, willfully sinned against God and is consequently lost and without hope apart from Christ Jesus.  We believe the Bible teaches that salvation- the forgiveness of sins- is only by grace through the blood of Jesus Christ.  We believe the Bible teaches that one receives God's grace by putting faith in Jesus, repenting of sin, confessing Christ, and being immersed into Christ. We believe in the Church of Jesus Christ, founded on the Day of Pentecost and consisting of all Christians everywhere.  We believe the Bible teaches that the Elders are to exercise authority over the local congregation.
