Our Beliefs

 
  1. We believe in God, the Father, the Almighty, the Creator of the heavens and the earth.
  2. We believe in the eternal deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His Virgin Birth, in His sinless life, in His substitutionary death on Calvary for our sins, in His triumphant bodily resurrection from the grave, in His exaltation as Lord of all, and in His indwelling victorious life within His Body, the Church.
  3. We believe that all are lost apart from the saving grace of Jesus Christ and that salvation is by faith alone through the shed blood and regenerating Spirit of Jesus Christ.
  4. We believe that the true Church is composed of all those who have been born again through Him.
  5. We believe the Bible to be the verbally inspired and infallible Word of God to all mankind, the rule (canon) of all our faith and moral conduct.
  6. We believe in the present fullness and operation of the Holy Spirit in the lives of men and women, whose workings are the source of all holiness and grace and the mainspring of all gifts and ministry, and by whom the Father is presently and finally restoring and renewing the Body of Christ in all the earth.
  7. We believe in carrying out the Great Commission of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ to evangelize the lost and to lift the burden from the poor, the afflicted, and the needy.
  8. We believe in the personal and literal return of our Lord Jesus Christ and in the triumph of His universal and everlasting kingdom—world without end!

“I visited the church on Sunday with my family. The moment I stepped into the front doors of the building, I was greeted by two women, and they made me feel at home. I was very nervous to be back in church, and my desire was to find a new home and I did. The moment the worship started I felt the presence. I was happy and I am so eager to come again on Sunday. The preaching hit home and ministered my life greatly. I took my portion of blessing home, and I was happy to know now I have a church where I can go”
