What We Believe

Our faith is rooted in the unchanging truth of God's Word

The Bible

We affirm the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the verbally inspired Word of God, the final authority for faith and life, inerrant in the original writings.

The Trinity

We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory.

Jesus Christ

The Lord Jesus Christ is God's eternal Son who became man, without ceasing to be God, and died as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice for our redemption.

Salvation by Grace

Salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed for the forgiveness of our sins.

Eternal Security

All the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God's power and are thus secure in Christ forever. We believe in the eternal security of the believer.

The Church

The local church is a congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant, practicing believer's baptism and the Lord's Supper, and autonomous in governance.
