Our Beliefs
We believe that there is a rich history inside
the Christian Church that helps to build and
guide us as we live out our faith today.
While we may be independent and non-
denominational -- we do not stand alone.
We stand on the historical truths that have
been passed down in Christianity. While
the ancient creeds of Christianity do not
carry the same authority as the Bible -- we
believe they summarize and hold the truths
of the Bible. They are time tested and have
withstood the fires of persecution. Two
such documents we believe to be true are
the Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed.
We have a very high regard for the Bible as
the written word of God inspired by the
Holy Spirit and without error in the
original manuscripts. The Bible is the
revelation of God’s truth and is infallible
(correct and true) and authoritative in all
matters of faith and life.
We believe that there is one perfect God
eternally existent in three persons -- the
Holy Trinity -- the Father, the Son and the
Holy Spirit.
We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God
and that He is both truly God and truly
man. He came in human form to sacrifice
Himself, once for all, to set us free from sin
and death so that we might not perish but
have eternal life. This is the bedrock of our
belief -- the spiritual DNA -- so to speak --
of our church. We believe in His virgin birth,
in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His
death on the cross, in salvation through His
shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in
His ascension to the right hand of the
Father and in His personal return in power
and glory.
We believe that for the salvation of lost and
sinful people, a person needs to repent and
believe in Jesus as the Son of God. Then
through the Grace of God they will be born
again of the Holy Spirit, receive the gift of
eternal life, and become the children of
God.
We believe in the present ministry of the
Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the
Christian is enabled to live a godly life. We
believe that the Holy Spirit’s ministry is to
guide, teach and empower the believer.
He also convicts the world of sin, of
righteousness, and of judgment.
We believe in the spiritual unity of all
believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
