“We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us.”1 John 1:3

GO to PEOPLE to share the Good News

By reaching people through evangelism

“His intent was that through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known…” Ephesians 3:10
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?” Romans 10:13-14

 

  • ¨ We believe that the Bible is God's inerrant and infallible Word, having been inspired by the Holy Spirit and has supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
  • ¨ We believe in one God, creator of heaven and earth, eternally existing in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
  • ¨ We believe Jesus Christ is eternally God. Because of God's love, He became Man, was born of a virgin, was sinless in life, and satisfied the Father's righteous demands for our sins by His redemptive death on the cross.
  • ¨ We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension into heaven, His high priestly intercession for His people, and His personal, visible return to the world according to His promise.
  • ¨ We believe that salvation is God's gift to man in the person of Jesus Christ. Sinful man is saved from the penalty of sin as a result of receiving Jesus Christ, by faith, as Savior.
  • ¨ We believe the local church is a living spiritual body of which Christ is the head and of which all believers are members; for the purpose of worship, fellowship, the proclamation of the Gospel throughout the world, including the observance of the Biblical ordinances of baptism by immersion, and the Lord's Supper.
  • ¨ We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the believer and non-believer. The saved will enjoy the wonders of God's presence forever, and the lost will suffer separation from God's presence forever.
