Statement of Faith

We believe in the authority of the Bible and that it is the inspired work of God – 2 Timothy 3:16

We believe that the Bible reveals God, the fall of man and the way of salvation.

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – 1 John 5:4-6

We believe that because of Adam’s fall to sin in the Garden of Eden, no man is without sin or blame – Genesis 3

We believe that God sent his Son, Jesus Christ to be born of a virgin and to save us from that sin. – Matthew 1:18, John 3:16

We believe that Jesus, through His death on the cross and resurrection from the dead paid the price for our sin. We believe that those who accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior are redeemed from their sin and may live an eternal life in Heaven – John 3:16

We believe that God’s gift of salvation is by His grace, not by our works. We are justified by faith and are accounted righteous before God only through the merit of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ – Ephesians 2:8-9
