WHAT WE BELIEVE

OUR STATEMENT OF BELIEFS


We believe the bible is the Word of God, written by men who were inspired by God. Mankind has been separated from God because of sin, and forgiveness can only come through Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Son of God, and only through His death, burial, and resurrection can one be reconciled to God.


Every person who hears the message of salvation, has the opportunity to respond to that message by faith and obedience to the Gospel. The believer is then indwelled with the Holy Spirit, and gifts of the Holy Spirit for the edifying of the church. Jesus is coming soon to gather His church, and to bring God's judgement upon the wicked.

  • GOD

    We believe in the one true God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He is the creator of all things, seen and unseen. We believe God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit are one, and eternal.

  • THE BIBLE

    We believe the bible is the Word of God, both old and new testament. We believe as Christians, we live under the New Testament teachings, under grace and mercy through Jesus Christ who was the fulfillment of the Old Testament law.

  • FALL OF MAN

    We believe that even though God had foreknowledge, Adam and Eve made a choice to sin against God when tempted by the devil, thus bringing sin and death into the world to all people, and bringing a curse to the creation.

  • JESUS

    We believe Jesus is the Son of God, eternal, and one with God. He was manifested in the flesh to make a way for salvation for all people, died for our sins, risen to life on the third day, and ascended into heaven to sit at the right hand of God.

  • REPENTANCE

    We believe true repentance is acknowledging your sin, and striving to abstain from it with the help of the Holy Spirit.

  • BAPTISM

    We believe water baptism is not an option, but a required response to the gospel message. We believe water baptism is an outward symbol of the work that God is doing on the inside.

  • THE CHURCH

    We believe the local Church is a part of the overall body of Christ. We believe the Church is to strive toward the unity of the faith. We believe the Church should show tolerance in gray areas, but never compromise the Word of God.

  • SECOND COMING

    We believe Jesus is coming back to receive His church as His bride, and to spend eternity together. We believe God will pour out His wrath on all those who have rejected Him, and cast them into eternal darkness.

Our congregation has dwindled over the years. We now have 60 active members. Though our membership fluctuates we are a vibrant and welcoming church and we continue to grow.
