What We Believe

1. We believe the Bible is God's revealed Word in its entirety, inerrantly inspired by the Holy Spirit, and authoritative for us who submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
2. We believe there is one God, the Creator and Sustainer of all life, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human. We believe in His virgin birth and sinless life; in His miracles; in His substitutionary death for our sins; in His bodily resurrection from the dead; and in His ascension and exaltation to the right hand of the Father where He reigns as Lord and God.
4. We believe that all humankind are born in sin and that our only hope of salvation is through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins and the gift of eternal life.
5. We believe in water baptism as the believer's public identification with Christ's death, burial, and resurrection and our co-union with Him.
6. We believe that the Father's promise for all believers is to baptize us in the Holy Spirit to empower us for witness and ministry through the operation of His gifts.
7. We believe in progressive sanctification of the believer whereby we are being transformed into the likeness of Christ.
8. We believe in the Lord's Supper as a remembrance of Jesus' suffering and death for our sins and as an expression of our shared life and communion with Him as our Savior and Lord.
9. We believe in the personal return of Jesus Christ to bring history to its appropriate redemptive conclusion.
10. We believe that the redeemed of the Lord will inherit new heavens and a new earth; and that the unredeemed will spend eternity separated from God in eternal punishment.
