What We Believe

 1. There is One God -- He has revealed Himself to mankind through the Bible.

2. Our One God reveals Himself in Three Persons: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit who function in complete and perfect Oneness.

3. We believe the Bible is the full and complete Word of God. It is able to make us wise unto salvation. It is not simply to be taught or heard, but obeyed in all of life.

4. We believe the two greatest commandments, which summarize all of God's Law, are:
1) Love God with all your heart, soul and mind.
2) Love your neighbor as yourself.

5. We believe that Salvation is by Grace through Faith. Our Salvation was purchased completely and freely by Jesus on the Cross. In response to His amazing grace, we must:
1) Hear God's Word and Call: (Romans 10:17)
2) Sincerely Acknowledge my Sinful and Lost condition: (Romans 3:23)
3) Call upon the Name of the Lord for Mercy: (Romans 10:13)
4) Personally Believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and He died for my Sins: (Romans 10:9-10; Romans 5:6-8)
5) Repent and Turn Away from my Sins: (Acts 2:38)
6) Confess my sins and my faith in Jesus Christ: (1 John 1:9; Romans 10:10)
7) Be Baptized in the Name of Jesus for the remission of my sins: (Acts 2:38)

6. We believe the Christian Life is to be a Balanced Life of Love and Devotion to God and our fellow man. This will involve:
1) A close and personal relationship with God in Christ.
2) A deep sense of my personal value to God -- knowing that He is working in me.
3) A deep, life-long commitment to my marriage and family.
4) Loving one another in Christ -- which involves bearing one another's burdens.
5) Being honest and dependable in my work and community.
6) Working diligently to provide not only for my own family needs, but also to share with those in need.
7) Doing good works of service in the neighborhood and community.

7. Our Hope is to help bring the kingdom of heaven to earth, and to go to heaven when we die.

 Baptism 

 We believe that everyone needs to be baptized into Christ for the remission of sins. (Acts 2:38; Mark 16:16; Matthew 28:19-20)

Baptism is simply one aspect of our "obedient faith". We are saved by Grace through faith, that not of our own effort, it is a gift from God. Baptism is one of the clear commandments of Jesus, a necessary act of faith. Our salvation rests upon the sacrificial death of Christ upon the Cross and His Resurrection from the dead.

1) Baptism is immersion in water: (Romans 6:3-5). It is a burial in water.
2) Baptism is a personal act of obedient faith -- therefore we do not practice infant baptism.
3) Baptism is a personal re-enactment of the Death, Burial and Resurrection of Christ. We are united with Christ in Baptism: (Romans 6:3-5)
