We are a gospel church that seeks to exalt Christ and make disciples.
We do this by faithfully preaching His Word, preparing the saints, and pursuing Christ-centered fellowship with one another.
Our Beliefs
The Scriptures
Both Old and New Testaments are divinely inspired of God, of supreme and final authority in matters of faith and practice, and, as originally given, are infallible and inerrant (2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:19-21)
The True God
There is one God who is self-existent, eternal and infinite in every excellence, and in the unity of the Godhead there are three Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the same in essence, though distinct in personality (Isaiah 45:21, 22; Exodus 20:2, 3; 2 Corinthians 8:6; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Revelation 4:11)
Person of Christ
The Lord Jesus Christ is both true God and perfect man, a unique, supernatural union of two natures in one person: born of the virgin Mary after having been miraculously conceived by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35; Matthew 1:18-20). He is the only Savior of mankind (Acts 4:10,12) and worthy of our worship.
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is a divine Person, equal with God the Father and God the Son, and of the same nature. He regenerates and indwells the believer (1 Corinthians 12:4-11; Hebrews 3:7).
Creation
God created the heavens and the earth in six days and rested on the seventh. Humanity was uniquely created by God on the sixth day in His image— male and female—with inherent dignity, value, and purpose: to glorify God, enjoy relationship with Him, and steward His creation. (Genesis 1–2; Colossians 1:16; Revelation 4:11)
Salvation
Salvation is received "by faith, without deeds of the law" (Romans 3:28), as a "gift of God" (Romans 6:23), freely bestowed upon all who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ" (Acts 16:31). This new birth is instantaneous, not a process of development. Salvation is eternal and nothing can separate believers from the love of God; they are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation, the sure evidence of this being their patient continuance and progress in righteousness and true holiness (Romans 8:35-39; John 10:27-29).
Civil Government
Civil Government is divinely appointed for the interest and good order of the human society and is to be obeyed, except only in things opposed to the will of God, who is the only Lord of the conscience (Romans 13:17; 1 Timothy 2:1, 2; Acts 5:29).
Angels and Satan
Angels are supernatural beings who serve God and minister to humans as God directs (Hebrews 1:14). Satan (the devil) is also a supernatural being, not merely an evil influence (1 Peter 5:8). He and all of those angels who rebelled against God with him comprise the host of demonic spirits.
Fall of Man
Man was created innocent. By disobedience of the command of God, he fell, thereby losing his innocence, becoming subject to death, spiritual and physical, and to eternal displeasure with God (Genesis 1:27-31; 2:16,17; 3:1-6; 1 Corinthians 15:22).
Justification and Sanctification
The result of the heart acceptance of Jesus Christ is complete justification, whereby pardon is secured and we are brought into a state of peace and favor with God (Ephesians 1:7; Romans 4:4,5; Romans 5:1). The progressive work of the Holy Spirit within us separates us unto God experientially: revealing Christ unto us through the written Word (2 Corinthians 3:18). The privilege of the believer is to be filled with the Spirit, yielding even his body to the Lord for His use and becoming empowered for service (Ephesians 5:18; Romans 12:1; Acts 1:8).
Return of Christ
We believe in the future return of Jesus Christ. He will gather His Church, establish His reign, and ultimately bring about the final judgment, ensuring the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan (Acts 1:9-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11-15).
Eternal State
Heaven and Hell are realities, and all mankind is destined to a physical, bodily resurrection; the believer to an eternity of conscious bliss in glory with Christ in the New Heaven and the New Earth, the unbeliever to an eternity of conscious suffering in the Lake of Fire with Satan (John 5:28, 29; 1 Corinthians 15:22; Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:10, 15).
Work of Christ
The Son of Man, by His death on the cross and His resurrection from the dead, has redeemed us unto God, being "delivered up for our offenses and raised again for our justification." We believe in His substitutionary death for sinners (Romans 4:25; 5:6-10; Galatians 3:13; 1 Peter 2:21), in His intercessory work for saints (Hebrews 7:25; 1 John 2:1), and His personal and visible coming in fulfillment of His own promises (Matthew 24:27; 25:31; Revelation 1:7).
Ordinances of the Church
Baptism is the immersion of a believer in water to show forth in a solemn and beautiful emblem our identification with the crucified, buried and risen Savior, through whom we died to sin and rose to a new life (Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:3-5). The Lord's Supper is the commemoration of Christ's death "until He comes" and should be preceded by solemn self-examination (1 Corinthians 11:23-29; Matthew 26:26-28).
Separation
As children of God, Christians should walk in separation from this world’s system, having no fellowship with its philosophy, its values, and its evil ways, showing godly discernment in all of their activities (Philippians 3:20; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Romans 12:2; 1 Thessalonians 5:22).
Our Values
The Gospel
The Gospel of Jesus is the foundation of our church. It is through the death of Jesus, wherein He acted as our substitute, and His subsequent resurrection that we have a relationship with God. This message is not only necessary for salvation but also for living a life of godliness.
Word
The Bible is the Word of God and is critical to knowing God and living a life pleasing to Him. Every sermon and ministry uses God's word as the foundation on which any lesson or life application is taught..
Family
The church is the family of God. It is important to welcome and teach all ages and generations.
Mission
To be a follower of Jesus Christ is to be on mission. We strive to live out the gospel in word and deed wherever we are: where we live, work, and play, across the globe or locally.
