What We Believe

Below are some of the highlights of our doctrinal statement.
For a complete document, you may contact the pastor.
  • We believe that God inspired the Word of God, which gives us an infallible guide for our beliefs and actions.
  • We believe in one true God Who shows Himself to us in three persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit.
  • We believe Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died as a substitute for the sins of all people, and after 3 days in the tomb came out alive again.
  • We believe that the Holy Spirit gives believers the power to lead lives which glorify God. We believe that the sign gifts, such as the gift of speaking in tongues and the gift of healing, were temporary gifts given at the beginning of the church. These gifts are no longer necessary today and passed away when the New Testament was completed.
  • We believe God offers forgiveness to all who are sorry for their sin and truly believe and accept that Jesus died in their place to pay the penalty for their sin. This salvation is a free gift that God gives to all who believe.
  • We believe in a literal heaven and hell which is the destiny for all people. All people sin and deserve to be separated from God for eternity, but God offers salvation to all who will accept it in simple faith.
  • We believe Jesus will return in the clouds one day to receive all believers, living and dead, and take them to live with Him in heaven. We call this the rapture. Following that will be seven years of tribulation, when the world will experience great trouble. Jesus will return to the earth after that time to reign on the earth in a literal kingdom.
