Ephesians 4:3-6
3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

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!
