BELIEFS

WE BELIEVE IN ONE GOD who is eternally existent in three distinct persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit—each of whom possesses equally all the attributes of deity.

WE BELIEVE IN JESUS, the eternal, pre-existent second person of the Trinity, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, and is fully God, but became fully man to save a lost world. We believe that he was crucified and three days later rose from the grave. He ascended into heaven, and will one day return again.

WE BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT, the eternal third person of the Trinity, who permanently indwells every believer upon their faith in Jesus Christ.

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, we believe the Bible is without error, and is the final authority of faith and practice.

WE BELIEVE IN GOD'S DESIGN FOR THE CHURCH as the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head. The members of the church are those who have trusted by faith the finished work of Christ. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving Him and making Him known to a lost world.

WE BELIEVE WE ARE MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD, and although God designed us to have fellowship with Him, we became alienated from God through disobedience. As a result, all human beings are born with a sinful nature and choose to sin against God. We are incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through our own efforts, but need salvation through Jesus Christ to have a relationship with Him again.

WE BELIEVE IN ETERNITY which is spent in one of two places: eternally separated from God because of sin or in union with God because of His forgiveness and salvation. When we die, we will either spend eternity in heaven or hell. Eternal separation from God happens in hell. Eternal union with God occurs in heaven.

WE BELIEVE IN SALVATION, God's gift to you if you accept it. We can never make up for our sin with self-improvement or good works. It is only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness that you can be saved from sin's penalty. Eternal life begins the moment you receive Jesus Christ into your life by faith.

SALVATION

God, through the sacrifice of His Son, offers salvation and life to anyone who believes in Him. Salvation is a gift of grace not by works. Christians are people who believe that the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sin. Therefore, salvation occurs only when a person places their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as the sufficient payment for their sin.

Believing in Christ for salvation involves:

FAITH

For by grace I am saved through faith.

TRUST

Letting go of my self-directed life to Christ's life.

REPENTANCE

Changing my mind and life direction.

LORDSHIP

Confessing Christ as my Savior and Lord.

DO YOU KNOW JESUS?

God has provided a simple way for you to know Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Romans 10:13 tells us that, "Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." It's really that simple to receive the free gift of salvation.

ADMIT that you are a sinner. Sin separates us from God.
"Everyone has sinned. No one measures up to God's glory." Romans 3:23

BELIEVE that Jesus died and rose again for your sins. Jesus came to earth to pay the wages of our sin. He literally died in our place so we could have eternal life with Him.
"The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23

CONFESS Him as Lord of your life. Accept the gift the Creator has offered you!
"God's grace has saved you because of your faith in Christ. Your salvation doesn't come from anything you do. It is God's gift. It is not based on anything you have done. No one can brag about earning it." Ephesians 2:8-9

If you believe all this to be true, then tell Jesus! Talk to Him from your heart and if you don’t know where to begin, earnestly pray this prayer:

Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and do not deserve this life you've given me. I believe You died and rose from the grave to make a place for me in Heaven. Forgive me for my sins, and save me from the life I have known. Come into my heart, and be my Lord and Savior. Amen.
