Our mission is simple. We come to church to worship our Lord and Savior. We also come to be equipped so that we can go out into the world and tell others about Jesus. Come to Worship, Come to Learn, Come to Serve, Come home to Glory.
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, inerrant, infallible Word of God. The Scriptures are authoritative and profitable for instruction. (II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:19-21; Psalm 119)
We believe in the only one true and living God. God exists in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are eternal, co-existent, and co-equal in all of Their attributes. (Genesis 1:1, John 1:1, Matthew 28:19, John 14:16, 17, I John 5:7)
The Father is sovereign and rules over His creation. He is a Father to his children. The only way to become His child is through faith in His Son Jesus Christ. (John 3:16; John 6:37-39; Galatians 4:4-7)
We believe that Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh. He was born of a Virgin and lived a sinless life. He died on Calvary’s cross for our sins and was placed in a tomb. He bodily arose on the third day. He has ascended back to heaven and is at the Father’s side. He is coming back in the rapture to call His church out. He will come to this earth a second time to judge the world and to establish His kingdom. (Philippians 2:6-8; John 1:1, 2; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; I Peter 2:24-25; Revelation 20:4-6)
The Holy Spirit convicts men of their sins and shows them a need for salvation. He effects a work of regeneration in the believer. Every believer is baptized by the Spirit at the moment of salvation. He gives spiritual gifts to the believer to be used in God’s service and for His glory. He lives in the heart of the believer. (John 16:7, Ephesians 4:30; I Corinthians 6:19, 1:1-11; Romans 8:9-11)
We believe that man was created in the image of God. The first man, Adam, through his free will chose to sin. Sin thus entered into the human race. All men are born with a sin nature. Forgiveness of sin can only come through faith in Jesus Christ. (Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 5:10-21)
We believe that all men are sinners. Salvation can be found only in Christ. A man must repent of his sins and ask Jesus to save his soul. Salvation is through faith in Christ. A man is justified or deemed righteous at the moment of salvation. (Romans 3:23, 5:18, 6:23; John 2:5, 3:16, 14:6, 20:31; Acts 4:12)
We believe that man is created in God’s image. God created man, both male and female. Marriage is an institution ordained by God. One man should be wed to one woman. Sexual intimacy outside of marriage is forbidden. We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery and pornography is condemned by God as sinful perversions. Membership will not be given to any one living defiantly in sin. No leader of this church will perform a same sex marriage. No same sex weddings will be held on church property. We believe that Scripture is quite clear when it comes to marriage. (Genesis 1:26-27, 2:18-25; Leviticus 18:22; I Corinthians 6:13-18; Hebrews 13:4)
We believe that life begins at conception. Abortion is murder. There are no exceptions. (Job 3:16; Psalm 139:14-16; Jeremiah 1:5; Luke 1:44)
We believe that the church was born on the day of Pentecost. It is made up of a body of believers. We also believe in the autonomous local church. The church observes two Biblical ordinances: the Lord’s Supper and baptism. It is the duty of the church to teach disciples and to send them out to witness to the lost. (Matthew 16:15-19 28:19-20; Acts 2:42-47; I Corinthians 11:23-34; Ephesians 1:22-23)
We believe that the souls of believers immediately go to be with the Lord in heaven at the time of death. The souls of the lost immediately are condemned to hell. (Luke 16:19-26, II Corinthians 5:8, Philippians 3:21, II Peter 3:13; Revelation 20:11-15)
We believe that Christ will come and receive His church at the rapture. Believers will go before the Judgement Seat of Christ. There will then be a seven year tribulation period here on earth. After the tribulation Christ will come and establish His millennial kingdom. The unsaved will be resurrected and judged at the White Throne Judgement. The unsaved will spend an eternity in hell. The saved will spend eternity with God. (Matthew 24:21; II Corinthians 5:10; I Thessalonians 4:13-18, Revelation 20:10-15)
