What we believe ...
  1. THE WORD OF GOD - We believe that the Bible is the absolute and authentic
    Word of God, fully inspired and without error, written under the inspiration
    of the Holy Spirit. We believe that it has supreme authority in all matters of
    faith and conduct.
    +
  2. THE TRINITY - We believe that there is One true and living God; eternally
    existing in Three persons; that these three persons are equal in every fashion,
    and divinely perfect.
    +
  3. GOD THE FATHER - We believe in God, the Father Almighty, an eternal,
    infinite, personal spirit, perfect in Holiness, Wisdom, Power, and Love.
    We believe that He directly concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of all
    men, women and children. We believe that He hears and answers prayer.
    We believe that He forgives the trespasses of and saves mankind from sin
    and death. We further believe that this is a free gift to all who come to
    Him through Jesus Christ.
    +
  4. GOD THE SON - We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son,
    conceived by and of the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth,
    sinless life, miracles, and teachings. We believe in His substitutionary
    atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into Heaven, perpetual
    intercession for all of His people, and His ultimate, personal and
    visible return to Earth.
    +
  5. GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT - We believe in the Holy Spirit who came
    forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, unrighteousness,
    and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify, and empower all who believe in
    Jesus Christ. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in
    Christ, and that He is an abiding helper, teacher, counselor, messenger and guide.
    +
  6. REGENERATION - We believe that all people are sinners by nature and by
    choice; and people are, therefore, under condemnation. We believe that those
    who repent of their sins and trust in Jesus Christ as Savior are truly forgiven
    and regenerated by the Holy Spirit.
    +
  7. RELIGIOUS LIBERTY - We believe that every human being has direct
    relations with God and is responsible to God alone in all matters of faith.
    We believe that each church is independent and must be free from
    interference of this relationship by ecclesiastical or political authority.
    We believe that Church and State must be kept separate as having
    different functions, each fulfilling its duties free from dictation or
    patronage of the other. We also believe that only under the divine
    guideance of God can State fulfill their calling and their responsibility
    to His people.
    +
  8. SUMMARY - We believe that God is Love and that He loves each one
    of you too. We believe that it is His desire to bridge the gap between man
    and God, brought by sin, and bring His family back together again, for
    eternity. We believe that you too can experience the Joy and Peace
    that comes only from God.
    +
  9. INVITATION - We invite and encourage you to contact us if you have
    questions regarding your eternal life, the infinate forgiveness of sin,
    and how you too can live on this earth under His wing and in
    His presence daily.

  10. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,
    that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting Life.
    For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world,
    but that the world through Him might be Saved." John 3:16,17
