We Believe...

• That the Bible is the inspired word of God.

• That there is one God, internally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit; he suffered death and was buried.

• We believe Jesus is God manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

• On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

• He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

• We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father [and the Son], who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

• We believe in one Church made of all believers in "The Body of Christ.".

• We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

• We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen

• That Jesus Christ is the only Son of God, He was born of the Virgin Mary, He lived a sinless life, and He was crucified for our sins and rose again.

• That the most important goal in life is to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

• That the Holy Spirit cleanses the believer from all sin and is living within us enabling the believer to live the Christian life.

• That a relationship with Christ comes only through God's grace not by man's effort and must be received personally by repentance.

• That the local church exits to spiritually impact the world and encourage growth in every believer.

• That we should share Jesus Christ and our faith with our community and the world. We love God and we love you!

• We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

• We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made

• For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit, was born of the Virgin Mary, and became fully man.

• For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried.

• On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

• He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

• We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father [and the Son], who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
