What We Believe
That there is one God, the Creator of all things, who reveals himself as Father, Son, and Spirit.
That the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments are fully inspired by God and inerrantly reveal the will of God concerning us in all things necessary to our salvation.
That people are all sinners by both nature and act and need God’s forgiveness and cleansing.
That salvation through Jesus Christ is for the whole human race; whoever repents and believes in the Lord Jesus Christ is forgiven, made new and saved from the control of sin.
That believers need the fullness of God’s Spirit in their hearts. When we make a complete commitment to Him, He cleanses our spirit, sanctifies us entirely, fills us with His perfect love, and gives us the power to live victoriously.
That our Lord will return, and the dead will be raised to life, and the final judgment will take place.
That the finally impenitent are hopelessly and eternally lost, but those who are in Christ Jesus shall ever be with the Lord.
