Basic Beliefs

We are a Christian evangelical church--a church whose primary purpose is to share the good news of Jesus Christ.  The purpose of our church is to be a Community of Grace by leading people to become obedient, reproducing disciples of Jesus Christ, as He commanded in Matthew 28:18-20.

1.  We are confident that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant word of God.

2.  We acknowledge the creator -- God our heavenly Father, infinitely perfect, and intimately acquainted with all our ways.

3.  We claim Jesus Christ as Lord -- the very God who came in human flesh -- the object of our worship and the subject of our praise.

4.  We recognize the Holy Spirit as the third member of the Godhead, incessantly at work convicting, convincing and comforting.

5.  We believe that Adam's fall into sin left humanity without hope of heaven apart from a new birth, made possible by the Savior's death and bodily resurrection.

6.  We believe the offer of salvation is God's love gift to all.  Those who accept it by faith, apart from works, become new creatures in Christ.

7.  We believe that God expects our lives to reflect that we belong to Him and tha we are pursuing a holy life.

8.  We believe that, as believers in Jesus Christ, we are members of His universal church and that the local church is the place God has designed for his people to worship Him, observe the ordinances of baptism and the Lord's Table, and love other Christians.

9.  We anticipate our Lord's promised return in power and in glory.

10.  We are convinced that all who have died will be brought back from beyond -- believers to everlasting communion with God and unbelievers to everlasting separation from God.
