MISSION

We exist as a church to glorify God in worship, build up believers, and attract others to Jesus Christ; with the result of changed lives.

WE BELIEVE

  • The Absolute Authority of the Bible, God's Word. We believe that holy men of God were led by the Holy Spirit to write the very words of Scripture. The whole Bible in the original manuscripts is without error. It is our infallible guide for faith and practice.
  • The Triune nature of the Godhead. God exists eternally in three persons - The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. These three are one God, having exactly the same nature, attributes and perfections, and are deserving of the same worship and obedience.
  • The Virgin birth of Jesus Christ. He was made flesh when He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born to the virgin Mary. He is both undiminished God and truly man.
  • Salvation only through Jesus Christ. Man has eternal life only through faith in Christ Jesus, believing that He died for our sins, that He arose from the dead, and that His shed blood is the redemptive price for our souls.
  • The assurance of salvation. All true believers, once saved, shall be saved forever.
  • The Church, made up of all who put their faith in Christ. He is the Head of the Church. The Holy Spirit baptizes all believers into this Body of Christ at the moment of their salvation. The members of this one spiritual Body are directed to fellowship together in local assemblies. Two ordinances are performed by the local church; baptism and the Lord's Supper.
  • Biblical Leadership. The church leadership is organized around the headship of Jesus Christ and the model of leadership He taught to His disciples. Leadership and order developed by the apostles based in servanthood.
  • The blessed hope of Christ's return for the church. The coming of the Lord Jesus Christ in the air to receive to Himself all who are alive and those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. The rapture will be followed by the tribulation, the second coming of Christ, the millennial kingdom, and the eternal state. As found in the prophetic books of the Bible.
