We Believe
Here’s a high-level statement of some important
teachings we believe in:
- the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God1
- there is one God eternally existing in three Persons: Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit2
- the Lord Jesus Christ is central to all – we believe in His deity,3
virgin birth,4 sinless life,5 impeccability,6
wonderful miracles,7 atoning death,8 physical
resurrection,9 ascension to heaven,10 and future return11
- God created each person with an eternal soul that will exist
forever, either in heaven or the lake of fire12
- everyone has sinned personally, and falls short of God’s glory13
- people must be saved by experiencing the new birth, if they
want their sins forgiven and entrance into God’s kingdom14
- people are saved by faith in Christ and the work of the Holy
Spirit,15 not through religion, merit, or human effort16
- the Holy Spirit indwells all believers,17 enabling
them to live godly and fruitful lives18
- God wants us to worship and glorify Him19
- our Lord Jesus Christ wants us to preach the gospel, baptize
believers, and teach them to observe all that He commands20
- the Church is the entity which God purchased with the blood of
His own Son, and which Christ loves, nourishes, and cherishes.21
Christ is building His Church
today and is giving it spiritual gifts22
- there are many local churches,23 consisting of
believers who gather unto the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and practice
the teachings of the New Testament24
We believe in many other Bible truths, and heartily
invite you to any of our services that you might learn more.
We’re genuinely interested in your spiritual welfare and
growth. We would love to share with you
the joy and peace we have found through believing in our Lord Jesus Christ.
