WHO WE ARE

"Loving God" reflects our deep devotion to the divine, a profound connection that anchors our faith and guides our actions.  It's an acknowledgment of God's unconditional love for us and our reciprocal love in return.  This love fuels our spiritual journey, inspires our worship, and shapes our character as we strive to live in alignment with God's will.

"Loving Each Other" encapsulates our commitment to community and fellowship within our faith family and beyond.  It's about extending the same love, grace, and compassion to others that we receive from God.  In our relationships with one another, we seek to embody the principles of kindness, empathy, and mutual support.  We recognize that each individual is a beloved creation of God, deserving of respect, acceptance, and care.

We believe the Bible to be the only inspired, infallible Word of God.

2 Peter 1:21; 2 Timothy 3:16-17

We believe the Godhead consists of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  They are three in one and one in three.  

2 Corinthians 13:14; John 1:1-3

We believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, and in His ascension to the right hand of the Father.  We acknowledge the Lordship of Jesus Christ over all things in Heaven and on earth and under the earth.

1 Timothy 3:16; Philippians 2:9-10

We believe man fell by transgression from a state of righteousness and holiness in which he was first created into a state of death in trespasses and sin in which he is held as a slave of sin until he is delivered by the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

We believe in salvation through the redeeming blood of Christ by repentance toward God, faith in Jesus Christ, and confession of His Lordship.

Hebrews 9:22; Romans 10:9-10

We believe in water baptism by immersion for those who have repented and believed - signifying the burying of the sin nature which results in cutting off (heart circumcision) the slave relationship of sin.

We believe in the sanctification and holiness of heart and the overcoming life as Scriptural requirements for the Body of Christ.

Ephesians 4:11; 1Corinthians 12:8-11; Galatians 5:22-23

We believe that divine healing is obtained on the basis of the Atonement.

1 Peter 2:24; Isaiah 53:5

We believe in evangelistic and missionary fervor and endeavor.

Acts 1:8; Mark 16:15-18

We believe the true church is one body of many members consisting of "born again" Christians - regardless of church affiliation - and that we as individuals become members of the body through the power of the Spirit.  As so, we have fellowship with one another.

1 Corinthians 12:14-24; Ephesians 2:13-22; Ephesians 4:3-6

We believe in the practice of observing the Lord's Supper regularly as instructed in the scriptures.

We believe in Christ's imminent personal return in power and great glory, in His milennial reign and in His everlasting domination.  

Acts 1:11; Revelation 20:4; Daniel 7:14

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; that they are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and that they are lost unto the resurrection of eternal separation from God.

John 5:28-29; Revelation 20:15 

We believe that true believers are called to worship God with freedom both in spirit and in truth.
