What We Believe

Our core doctrines, plainly stated.

Congregation and Scripture
“For with you is the fountain of life.”

One Living and True God

There is but one living and true God of infinite power, wisdom, and goodness. In unity of this Godhead there are three persons of one substance—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.


Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ, the Son, is God in the flesh—fully human and fully divine. He was crucified, died, and buried, to reconcile humanity to God, and to be a sacrifice for the sins of mankind. He rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven, waiting for the day when He will judge all humankind.


THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD

All the divine attributes ascribed to the Father and the Son are equally ascribed to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit instantly resides within every person who accepts Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. The Holy Spirit is a comforter, a teacher, guider, and helper. The Holy Spirit enables every believer to live lives filled with the love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.


Holy Scripture

The Holy Bible has all information necessary for salvation and living a life of holiness and righteousness. The Old and New Testaments both point toward Christ as the savior of the world.


Salvation by Grace through Faith

All people have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. There is nothing that any of us can do to earn salvation. It is only through God’s grace, by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, that we are able to enter into right relationship with God. Only by faith that Jesus Christ was the Son of God, died for our sins, and was resurrected on the third day, can we be saved.
