Our History

Our Beliefs

There Is One God

We believe that there is one God, manifested in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. 

Gen 1:26; Matt 28:19-20; 2 Cor 13:14

Jesus Is the Son of God

We believe that Jesus is the one and only Son of God, was born of a virgin, is wholly God and wholly man, lived a sinless life, died as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of mankind, was buried, arose from the grave and ascended into Heaven. 

John 1:14; 3:16; Matt 4; Luke 4; Heb 4:15; 2 Cor 5:21

Jesus Christ Will Return

We believe in the literal, bodily return of Jesus Christ to earth. 

Rev 19

We Are Made In His Image

We believe that man is a special creation of God, made in His image.

Gen 1:26-27

The Fall of Man

We believe that mankind fell through the sin of the first man, Adam, and that all people are sinners in need of salvation. 

Gen 3:15; Rom 5:12-15

Salvation Is a Gift From God

We believe that salvation is a gift of grace from God, received through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. 

Rom 6:23; Titus 3:5; Eph 2:8-9; John 1:12

Every Person Who Is Saved Is Secure

We believe that every person who truly is saved is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ. 

John 10:28-30; Eph 1:13-14; Heb 7:25; 10:10,14

Heaven and Hell

We believe that those persons who die without faith in Jesus Christ spend eternity in Hell and those persons who die with their sins forgiven, through faith in Christ, spend eternity in Heaven. 

John 3:16; Rev 20:14-15

Water Baptism

We believe that water baptism is in obedience to the command of Christ and is by immersion after salvation. 

Rom 6:3-10

The Local Church

We believe that the local church is the local body of baptized believers with the Lord Jesus Christ as the head. 

Eph 1:22-23

Direct Access

We believe that each believer has direct access to God through the Lord Jesus Christ and the Bible, God’s Word. 

1 Tim 2:5-6; Heb 10:19-26

God and Government

We believe in the separation of church and state, but not in the separation of God and government. 

1 Peter 2:13-17

The Bible

We believe that the Bible is the Word of God without any error, the sole authority for life.

2 Tim 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21
