We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—co-eternal in being and nature, and co-equal in power, having the same attributes and perfections.

We believe men and women were created in the image of God and because of the fall, inherited a sinful nature causing separation from God. Our sin, because we choose to follow our own desires instead of God’s, separates us from God. The good news is God gave us a free will to follow him to gain eternal life!

We believe the Father sent his son Jesus, to accomplish a reconciliation we could not accomplish on our own. We believe the Father extends his saving grace to ALL who believe in Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection.

We believe that God came to the earth, fully God and fully human, as Jesus; lived a perfect life and willingly gave his life as a sacrifice on our behalf so the price of our sin could be paid, and we could be reunited with God for all of eternity.

We believe that Jesus died, was buried, and rose from the grave as proof of his identity and as a promise of our future, that death is only a step into an eternal life that God has planned for us. We believe this promise is for everyone who believes in and who puts their faith in Jesus.

We believe after Jesus ascended to heaven; he gave us his Holy Spirit to live within us as our direct connection with God, leading us in wisdom and in truth. We believe the Holy Spirit provides us with spiritual gifts for the good of others and the building up of the church.

We believe that one of the first acts of faith a new believer does is to be baptized into Jesus through immersion in water signifying the death and burial of sin in their life, and resurrection into a new life, pure and blameless in the eyes of God.

We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are God-breathed, infallible and the ultimate authority for faith and life.

We believe that God’s people, His church, have been given the responsibility to represent God’s truth, love, and power to the world as they encourage each other to love and good works. We believe the two greatest commands are to love the Lord God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself.
