OUR BELIEFS

We believe in one God, creator of all things.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Second Person of the Trinity.   
Eternally begotten from the Father, He is God.

We believe that the Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Trinity,
which indwells and sanctifies all believers.

We believe the universe was created in six historical days and is
continuously sustained by God.   Human beings were created, not
evolved, in the image of God.

We believe that the Bible, though written by men, was supernaturally
inspired by God so that all its words are the true written revelation of
God; it is therefore inerrant in the originals and authoritative in all
matters.

We believe that Adam, the first man, willfully disobeyed God, bringing
sin and death into the world.

We believe the Jesus Christ died on the cross in full substitution for
the sins of all.   He was buried, and on the third day arose from the
dead.

We believe that each person can be saved through faith in Jesus
Christ as their Savior.

We believe that a church is a local assembly of baptized believers,
organized to evangelize, teach, and administer the ordinances of
believers baptism and the Lord's Table.
