Statement of Faith
We Believe:
God is triune,he is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
( Gen 1:1, Deut 6:4, Gal 4:4-6, Matt 3:16,17)
Jesus Christ is the foundation and the cornerstone of the church. Jesus was sent to earth by God the Father to restore man's broken relationship with God. His finished work on the cross made that possible. Because of His love demonstrated on the cross by dying for our sins, we now have reason to fellowship with other believers and proclaim salvation though His life, death, and resurrection.
( 1 Cor 3:11, Eph 2:20, Rom 5:6-10)
The Bible is the inspired, infallible word of God and is relevant and applicable to us today. Therefore, we place great emphasis upon the whole counsel of God's word, in context, teaching and studying it in public and in private,and using it as a guide for our daily lives.
( 1 Tim 4:13, 2 Tim 3:16-17, 1 Thes 2:13)
Worship - God is worthy of all praise, reverence, and love. We take special time to worship Him at home and in church through song. It is our goal to worship Him with our whole lives as well - at home, at work, and at play by living lives pleasing to Him.
( John 15:5, Rom 8:29, Eph 4:15)
Christian Growth - Our supreme desire is to know Christ and to be conformed to His image, likeness, and example by the power of the Holy Spirit. We encourage this by abiding in Jesus Christ through His Word , prayer, and Christian fellowship,and by yielding our lives to the Holy Spirit.
( John 4:23, Col 3:16, 1 Thes 2:13)
Agape Love is the greatest virtue and means of expression of the reality of Jesus Christ. We endeavor to show a Christ-like love to all mankind by our words as well as our actions. In this way, we love the sinner and not the sin.
( John 13:35, 1 Cor 13:13, Phil 2:3-5)
Christian Service is a part of the Christian life and is the responsibility of all believers, Our desire is to know Jesus Christ and to make Him known and be conformed to His image through discipleship, and to see other believers do the same.
( Eph 4:11-13, 1 Cor 12:4-7)
It is our desire to know and serve the Lord and to be accountable to Him
