WHAT WE BELIEVE
JESUS
The central focus of our faith and life is Jesus Christ. We believe He is God’s Son who lived a sinless life on this earth and paid for our sins by dying on the cross in our place. It is by the grace of God through Jesus Christ we are saved. We believe there is no other name but Jesus by which we must be saved.
​
"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven
given to mankind by which we must be saved."
Acts 4:12
BAPTISM
All people must decide for themselves if they believe the wonderful story of Jesus and put their complete trust in Him. Our faith focuses on and responds to Jesus Christ and what he has done to save us by means of His life, death, burial and resurrection. An integral part of that faith response is baptism by immersion for the forgiveness of sins. Baptism is a declaration of one’s faith and the beginning point for one’s newness of life in Jesus Christ.
"Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ
for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."
Acts 2:38
​
" Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ
was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life."
Romans 6:3-4
THE BIBLE
As a church, we believe we can be the body of Christ in this community.
We are dedicated to imitating Jesus collectively and in our individual daily lives.
We are empowered by the Holy Spirit to make a difference in every area of our lives.
We gather as a church to praise God and to encourage one another so we can share the Good News of Jesus Christ with others every day. We learn about Jesus and God’s love for man primarily from the Bible. We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God and is to be used for instruction, encouragement and training. The Bible is God’s authoritative revelation of His will for us. The Bible is our primary resource. Jesus is our Savior and model.
"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."
2 Timothy 3:16-17
