OUR BELIEFS

We believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God and that it is our standard for faith and conduct.

We believe that there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe that human nature is sinful and results in the punishment of God.

We believe that Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, and is true God and true man.

We believe that the death of Jesus Christ was for our sins and that all who believe in Him and confess their sins, are forgiven and granted eternal life.

We believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, His ascension into Heaven, and His ministry there as our High Priest.

We believe in the work of the Holy Spirit in convicting people of sin, the regeneration of those turning to Christ from sin, and His work of sanctification in the believer.

We believe in the promised return of Jesus Christ.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting joy of the saved and the everlasting punishment of the unsaved.

We believe in the baptism, by immersion in water, of believers.

TO KEEP THE WORD OF GOD AS OUR FOUNDATION
II Timothy 3:16 — All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

TO BE EQUIPPED BY GOD
Ephesians 4:12 — to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,

TO MAKE DISCIPLES
Matthew 28:19 — Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in^a]”>[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

TO MAINTAIN COMMUNITY
Acts 2:42-47 — And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. ⁴³ And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. ⁴⁴ And all who believed were together and had all things in common. ⁴⁵ And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. ⁴⁶ And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, ⁴⁷ praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.

TO BUILD LOVE-CENTERED RELATIONSHIPS
Ephesians 4:29-32 — Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. ³⁰ And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. ³¹ Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. ³² Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
