What We Believe

The Bible [all the books of the Old and New Testaments] is the true
written message of God to us. We believe the authors of the Bible
were inspired by God and are therefore completely trustworthy. The
Bible is the final authority on all matters to which it speaks.
There is one God, who exists forever in perfect community as three
persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ is fully man and fully God. He is the perfect reflection of
God’s character and glory. He lived a sinless life and offered himself
as the only perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on the
cross. All who put their trust in Him are declared righteous on the basis
of His death. He rose physically from the dead, is seated at the right
hand of God the Father, and will return again to earth to reign forever
with those who are His.
Humans are created in the image of God, but each one has fallen
short of God’s perfect standard and is in need of salvation through
Christ.
Salvation from our sinful condition is a free gift from God to us. It is
not something we earn or deserve. It is offered in grace and received
by faith in Jesus Christ alone. Those who believe in Jesus Christ and
call on His name are made right with God and given eternal life.
