Our Statement Of Faith is best summarized in the Apostle's Creed:"We believe in God the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord:
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried.
The third day He rose from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting."

What we believe:I. GodWe believe in One God, creator of the universe, who existed eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
II. SinWe believe that man, created in the image of God, later fell into sin and rebellion; that all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God; and that all men stand in need of being reconciled to God.
III. SalvationWe believe that man is reconciled to God through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ our Lord; that God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
We believe that one must turn from his sin, seek forgiveness from God, and put his faith in Jesus Christ. Scriptural evidence that one has repented and put his faith in Jesus Christ includes public confession, baptism in water, and regular fellowship with other believers.
IV. Jesus ChristWe believe in Jesus Christ to be the incarnate Son of God. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He took upon Himself human nature yet was without sin. Through His death on the cross He made provision for the redemption of all who would believe in Him. He was raised from the dead, ascended into heaven and now sits at the right hand of God the Father, interceding for the believer.
V. Holy SpiritWe believe that the Baptism in the Holy Spirit to is a gift and promise of God available to all Christians; and that God works intimately in the life of the Christian through the Holy Spirit. We believe that God manifests Himself supernaturally within the church by the manifestations and gifts of the Holy Spirit.
VI. BibleWe believe the Bible to be the inspired, inerrant Word of God, a true and accurate record of God's dealings with man; that, on the other hand, man's interpretation of that record can be incomplete, and therefore should be presented and represented with all humility; that the Bible is the source upon which we base all our doctrine and Christian belief; and that all scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.
VII. ChurchWe believe that the church is the people of God/the bride of Christ, a holy nation whose members live in righteous standing by the sacrificial blood of Christ. We believe that Jesus came and established the church as His Body in the earth. The goal of the church is to reflect the glory of God and to make disciples of all nations.
VIII. Second ComingWe believe in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ - that He will judge the living and the dead; that those who believe in Jesus Christ will live eternally with God.
IX. EvangelismWe believe that as Christians we are also disciples of Jesus Christ; that Jesus has given the church a command to go into all the world carrying the good news of life and salvation through faith in Jesus Christ and to make disciples of all nations; to extend the Kingdom of God throughout all the earth.
