Our Doctrinal Statements

As a Bible-believing church, we adhere to the following doctrinal statements:

1. The Trinity:

We affirm the one true God who eternally exists as three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each person is fully God, yet there is one God.

2. The Scripture:

We believe that the Bible is God's inspired and authoritative Word. It is without error in its original manuscripts and serves as the ultimate authority for our faith and conduct.

3. Salvation:

We believe that salvation is a gift of God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ. It is by His sacrificial death on the cross and His resurrection that we are reconciled to God and receive eternal life.

4. The Church:

We affirm that the Church is the body of Christ, comprised of all believers. It is in the local church where we find accountability, fellowship, teaching, and the opportunity to use our spiritual gifts for the edification of the body.

5. Spiritual Gifts:

We believe that God equips every believer with spiritual gifts for the purpose of serving and building up the body of Christ. These gifts are to be used in love and unity.

6. Baptism:

We practice believer's baptism by immersion as a public declaration of one's faith in Christ and identification with His death, burial, and resurrection.

7. The Lord's Supper:

We observe the Lord's Supper as a commemoration of Christ's sacrificial death. It is a time of remembrance, reflection, and renewed commitment to follow Him.

8. Second Coming:

We await the glorious return of our Lord Jesus Christ. His second coming will bring final judgment, the resurrection of the dead, and the culmination of God's redemptive plan.
