FUNDAMENTAL 
BELIEFS

WE BELIEVE:

  • that there is one eternal God, manifest in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

  • that Jesus is the Son of God, was born of a virgin, was fully God and fully man, lived a sinless life, died as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of mankind, was buried, arose bodily from the grave, ascended into heaven, and will one day return to receive His people.

  • that salvation is a gift given only through Christ’s sacrifice and is available through Christ alone, in grace alone, by faith alone.

  • that every person who is truly saved is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ.

  • that the Bible is God-breathed totally inspired and totally infallible and is relevant to every believer's faith.

  • that baptism is in obedience to the command of Christ and is by immersion after salvation.
