What We Believe...
GOD is one, and apart from Him there is no God. Yet, He exists as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Jesus is God in human form and offers the only way to peace with God. The Holy Spirit, through the Word of God, convicts us of sin and turns us to Christ. As we repent and give ourselves completely to Christ, the Spirit simultaneously baptizes us into Christ's Body, the Church.
MAN was created in the image of God to fellowship with Him, but he (man) chose to go his own independent way. As a result, that fellowship was broken and the image was distorted.
GOD has acted sovereignly through His grace to bridge the gap that separated rebellious people (that's all people) from Himself. At the cross of Calvary, He laid on His Son the penalty for all our sin. Jesus, who was totally without sin, paid the price that no one else could pay.
CHRIST rose bodily from the dead, proving that He has the power to raise anyone from the dead. He now lives to indwell all who recognize their sinfulness, repent, and turn their lives over to His control.
THE CHURCH includes all people who have personally made this life-changing discovery. These people are not perfect or sinless, but their lives are, by degrees, becoming more and more under the control of the Holy Spirit, expressing His love, joy, peace, and other qualities. Baptism in water signifies our personal identification with Christ and His Church.
THE BIBLE is the totally trustworthy Word of God to man, written in the words of men. It is, down to the finest detail, everything God intended to say as He inspired men to write it. We preach and teach God's Word with complete confidence in its historical, scientific, and spiritual reliability.
