Vision Statement

We exist to join God in the loving display of his Glory for the Joy of All.

The Bible

We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of the Bible. It is totally free of any errors in the original manuscripts. The Bible is the supreme standard for faith and conduct (2 Tim 3:16; John 10:35).

The Trinity

We believe in one living, eternal, and true God, existing eternally in three distinct persons as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. All three are equal in attributes, power, and glory, yet having distinct offices, functions, and personalities (John 17:3; Matt 3:16,17; 28:19,20).

Christ

We believe in the absolute deity and perfect humanity of the Lord Jesus Christ; that He had two natures, divine and human, united in one person without mixture and that it was impossible for Him to sin (John 1:1,14; I Tim 2:5).

We believe in the virgin birth of Christ by the Holy Spirit and in His substitutionary death through the sheeding of His blood for the forgiveness of sins, in His literal bodily resurrection and ascension, His present High Priestly ministry in Heaven and His personal and imminent return for His church (I Pet 3:18; Eph 1:19-22; I Thess 4:13-18).

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the absolute deity of the Holy Spirit and that, like Jesus Christ, He is eternal. He is the One who convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. To the believer, He is the agent in regeneration, sanctification, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ, indwelling and sealing them unto the day of redemption and exercising the ministry of comfort and teaching (John 16:8-11; I Cor 12:13; Eph 4:30).

Salvation

We believe that mankind was created in the image and likeness of God; that in Adam's sin the race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God. Mankind is totally depraved, unable of himself to redeem his lost condition (Gen 1:26-37; Rom 5:12; Titus 3:5).

We believe that salvation of the sinner is wholly of grace through personal faith in the person and finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ and all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God's power and are secure in Christ forever. Once saved, a person cannot lose his salvation (Eph 2:8-9; John 10:28-29).
