What We Believe
We believe that the Bible is God's Word. It is accurate, authoritative, and applicable to our everyday lives (1 Thessalonians 2:13, 2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:21).
We believe in one eternal God who is the creator of all things. His name is Jesus Christ. He is totally loving and completely Holy (Revelation 1:8, Isaiah 9:6, 1 Timothy 3:16).
We believe that sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives (Romans 5:12, 6:23).
We believe that God came to earth, made himself flesh (Jesus Christ), lived a sinless exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life (John 1:14, Revelation 1:18).
We believe that in order to recieve forgiveness and the 'new birth experience' we must first repent of our sins, then obey and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and submit to His will for our lives through baptism in Jesus' name and receiving the Holy Ghost (Romans 3:23, John 3:5,8, Acts 2:38).
We believe that in order to live the holy and fruitful lives that God intends for us, we must be filled with the power of the Holy Ghost (Acts 1:8, Hebrews 12:14).
We believe that God has individually equipped us so that we can successfully achieve His purpose for our lives which is to worship God, fulfill the great commission, and serve the community in which we live.
We believe that God wants to heal and transform us so that we can live healthy and prosperous lives in order to help others more effectively (3 John 2).
We believe that our eternal destination of either heaven or hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9).
We believe that Jesus is coming back again as He promised (Acts 1:11).
