We believe the Bible is God’s Word.  It is accurate, authoritative and applicable to our everyday lives.

We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things.  He has revealed Himself as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit.  He is totally loving and completely holy.

We believe sin has separated each of us from God and his purpose for our lives.

We believe Jesus is both God and man and is the only One who can reconcile us to God.  He lived a sinless life, suffered, died, and rose again.  This is the heart of Gospel.

We believe humanity responds to the Gospel by being born again of water and Spirit, which means, turning to and trusting in Jesus, being water baptized in Jesus’ Name, and being filled with the Holy Spirit, which includes speaking in tongues.

We believe our eternal destination of either Heaven or hell is determined by our response to Jesus.

We believe in the power and significance of the Church and the necessity of believers regularly meeting together for fellowship, prayer and the breaking of bread.

We believe God has equipped us as believers to live lives of purpose, which includes worshiping God, fulfilling our role in the local Church and serving the community in which we live.

We believe God wants to heal and transform us so we can live healthy and blessed lives in order to help others more effectively.

We believe Jesus is coming back again as He promised.
