Statement of faith

We believe God’s gift to man (salvation, the
forgiveness of sins) is available only through the
shed blood of Jesus Christ, His death on the
cross and resurrection from the dead. This gift
is offered by God’s grace as the only sufficient
payment for man’s sin. (John 3:16, Ephesians
2:8-10, Romans 10:9, Acts 2:38; 1 Corinthians
15:1-4)

We believe the entire Bible is the inspired
Word of God and that men were moved by the
Holy Spirit to write the very words of
Scripture. Therefore, the Bible is without error
and is the Christian’s final authority in faith and
practice. (2 Timothy 3:14-16; 2 Peter 1:20-21;
Psalm 119:105, 160; Proverbs 30:5)

We believe faith is the appropriate response to
God’s offer of salvation and no amount of
personal goodness or human effort is adequate
to earn this gift. We believe those responding in
faith should repent of sin, confess Jesus as
Leader of their life, and be baptized (immersed)
into Christ. (Acts 3:19; Romans 10:9; Acts
2:36-38; Mark 16:16; Romans 6:4)

We believe that the church is the body of
Christ of which Jesus Christ is the Head. The
members are all those worldwide who have
trusted by faith the finished work of Christ. The
purpose of the church is to glorify God by
loving Him and by making Him known to a lost
world. (Matthew 16:13-18; 28:18-20; Acts
2:14-47)
