What We Believe

  • We believe the Bible is God’s message to humankind.  We believe ALL of it, cover to cover, is true and accurate about everything it talks about…

  • We believe there is only one God, who has 3 distinct persons in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  Like an egg made of a shell, yoke, and white… 3 distinct parts, but we call it an egg.

  • He’s absolutely amazing, with no beginning and no end. He is self-sustaining, set apart as Holy, good, faithful, unchanging, loves us, and saves us from sin and hell through Jesus Christ.

  • He’s God’s one and only Son, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, and taught us about God, His ways and His kingdom.   He died on the cross for us, rose from the dead, ascended to heaven, and some day will come again to earth.

  • He draws people to God, lives inside believers, helps us to live more like Jesus, and gives special gifts to all believers to impact and encourage others and to build his kingdom.

  • We believe everyone sins.  Our sins separate us from a relationship with a Holy God.  But God, in His love for us, sent Jesus to pay for our sins on the cross.  It is only through faith in receiving that gift that we are saved.

  • There are two types of church.  The big “C” Church, which consists of all Jesus followers, and makes up the entire Church in which Jesus is the head. And the small “c” church, or the local church, which consists of believers who choose to gather together regularly for worship, teaching, and fellowship.

  • We live to please God and thus our lives reflect Him.  We desire to be people of great integrity and generosity, who love and care for our families, communities, and the world.

  • We love baptism!  We practice the full dunk, and only for those who can express their own personal belief in Jesus… we baptize to publicly proclaim one’s faith in Christ and as an outward expression of the inward transforming work of Jesus in our lives.

  • We believe communion has a unique symbolic purpose. Taking bread to remember His broken body, and the cup to remember His blood poured out for us… we take communion to remember the cross and to remind us that Jesus will come again.
