WHAT WE BELIEVE

We believe what the Bible says about the Gospel and salvation: "God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him." (John 3:16-17).


You can have an intimate relationship with God now, and be sure you will live with Him in heaven forever. You may read in "How do I receive eternal life?" about

  • how God's presence in your life produces peace so you may properly relate to God, other persons, yourself and our world;
  • purpose as you understand God's desires for your life; and
  • the power to do all you were put in this world to accomplish.

WE BELIEVE

  • WE BELIEVE - the Bible is the written word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is the revelation of God's truth and is infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice.

  • WE BELIEVE - that all are sinners and totally unable to save themselves from God's displeasure, except by His mercy.

  • WE BELIEVE - that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who through His perfect life and sacrificial death atoned for the sins of all who will trust in Him, alone, for salvation.
  • WE BELIEVE - that God is gracious and faithful to His people not simply as individuals but as families in successive generations according to His Covenant promises.
  • WE BELIEVE - that the Holy Spirit indwells God’s people and gives them the strength and wisdom to trust Christ and follow Him.
