Statement of Faith

We believe the Bible to be inspired, the only infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God (2 Timothy 3:15 & 2 Peter 1:21).

We believe God is the creator of all things. God eternally exists in three persons, the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1, Matthew 28:18-20 & John 10:30).

We believe Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, died on the cross for the atonement of sins, and rose from the dead to sit at the right hand of God (1 Corinthians 15:3,4, Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 2:9, John 11:25).

We believe that people are sinful by nature and are saved from eternal damnation, not by works of man, but by the love and grace of God through our faith in Jesus Christ (John 3:16-21, John 5:24, Romans 3:23, Romans 5:8,9, Titus 3:5).

We believe that only through Jesus Christ are people able to have a personal relationship with God our Father, who is omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent (John 14:6).
