What We Believe
We believe these are the main points of discussion which relate to orthodox Christianity. Yet there are also other distinctives we adhere to as a church. If you are interested in learning more about our worship, or our application of these truths to daily life, please come and visit with us for a service. We would love to meet you.
We believe the Bible is the true, eternal, and infallible; inspired by God, and applicable to every area of our lives. -- II Timothy 3:16; I Corinthians 2:13
We believe the Trinity is a great mystery of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe they are three distinct persons, yet One; distinguishable, but indivisible. – Matthew 28:19; II Corinthians 13:14
We believe humanity was created by God to walk in pure relationship with Him; fell into sin by disobedience in the Garden of Eden; and was left completely unable to restore that relationship through human ability. – Romans 5:12, 18
We believe Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. Was fully God and fully man, as perfectly able to sin as Adam was perfectly able to remain sinless. By His sinless life, selfless death, and miraculous resurrection, Jesus paid the price for our sins and restored us to life with our Father. He is active in our lives today, while seated at the right hand of God, and will come again to earth one day. – Luke 1:26-35; Isaiah 7:14, 9:6; I Corinthians 15:1-4; Romans 4:25; John 14:2,3
We believe the church is God’s vehicle for displaying His glory and expressing His government on earth. It is His plan since the beginning of time. With Jesus as the Head and we as the members of His Body, the Church is being established for the glory of God and the purposes of eternity. The church universal includes all God’s people who have ever lived or will live, and it is expressed through a multitude of local church congregations in the earth. – Hebrews 12:22, Ephesians 3: 10, Colossians 1:18; Revelation 21:2
We believe the Holy Spirit is active and present today. He is still the Helper, Counselor, and Comforter of our lives. He continues to manifest Himself among God’s people just as He is described in the book of Acts and other New Testament books, testifying always of Jesus, who points us back to our Father. – John 14:26, Acts 11:16, I Corinthians 12:3, Titus 3:5, II Peter 1:21
