Statement of Faith

We believe that the Bible is God’s Word. It is accurate, authoritative, and applicable to our every day lives.
 We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy.

 We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, as both God and man, is the only One who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross, and conquered the grave to prove His victory and give us life.

 We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and new life, we must repent of our sins, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and submit to His will for our lives.
 We believe that in order to live in the fullness of what God intends for us, we need to be baptized in water and filled with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the One who transforms our lives and empowers us with spiritual gifts.

 We believe in the power and significance of the Church and the necessity of believers to meet regularly together for fellowship, prayer, and the breaking of bread.

 We believe that God has individually equipped us so that we can achieve His purposes for our lives, which is to know Him and make Him known in our world of influence.

 We believe that God wants to heal and transform us so that we can live healthy and blessed lives in order to help others more effectively.

 We believe that our eternal destination of either Heaven or hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ.

 We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised.
