We Believe… ...that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible Word of God and is our rule for faith and practice. ...that God is one being eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. ...that Christ the Son of God became man and lived a sinless life, died a substitutionary death for us, rose bodily and triumphantly from the grave, and ascended to Heaven where He is now at the right hand of God. ...that salvation is by grace through faith alone and provides forgiveness, a right standing with God, eternal life, and adoption into God’s family. ...that our Lord will one day return literally, visibly, and gloriously to take his people to be with Him forever. ...that expositional Bible preaching is very important. ...that church health is as crucial as church growth. ...that evangelism is imperative. ...that Jesus is our model for growth and maturity in all the areas of life (Luke 2:52). ...that the Holy Spirit dwelling within brings comfort, conviction, empowerment, counsel, and the pull toward Christ-likeness. ...that the Bible presents one basic story and message, and that Christ is the focus of all of scripture.
