What We Believe

We believe in the unity of God, eternally existing as three equal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the full deity and the full humanity of Jesus Christ, and in His virgin birth.

We believe that the Bible is inspired by God, is completely true and reliable, and is the final authority for faith and practice.

We believe that all persons are born sinners. One result of sin is shattered relationships with God and others, and the loss of our true identity.

We believe that eternal salvation and restored relationships are possible through faith in Jesus Christ; by repenting of our sin and receiving forgiveness through the Son, who died on the cross for us, rose from the dead, and is coming again. This salvation cannot be earned by doing good deeds: it is a free gift from God.

We believe in the work of the Holy Spirit in salvation, and in His power and presence in the lives of believers.

We believe that all persons, both men and women, are made in the image of God, and are to reflect that image in the community of believers, in the home, and in society.

We believe in the full equality and essential dignity of men and women of all racial and ethnic backgrounds.

We believe that God calls and ordains both men and women to diligently develop and use their God-given gifts for the good of the home, church and society.

We believe in the family, in celibate singleness, and in faithful heterosexual marriage as God's design.

We believe that faith without works is dead; that believers are to minister to the poor, the helpless, and the needy as mandated by the Lord Jesus Christ.
