What we believe…

  • The
    Bible    We believe that Scripture in its entirety originated with God and that it was given through the instrumentality of chosen men.

  • God's
    Nature    We believe that there is one true, holy God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

  • Jesus
    Christ    Jesus Christ is the eternal second Person of the Trinity who was united forever with a true human nature by a miraculous conception and virgin birth.

  • Human
    Destiny    Death occurs for all mankind, with a resurrection of the body to a judgment determining the fate of each individual—either eternal separation from God or eternal communion with God.

  • Salvation's
    Purpose    The central purpose of God's revelation in Scripture is to call all people into fellowship with Him.

  • The
    Holy Spirit    The essential accompaniment of a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ is a life of holiness and obedience, attained by believers as they submit to the Holy Spirit.

  • The
    Church    The corollary of union with Jesus Christ is that all believers become members of His body, the Church.

  • Faith &
    Practice    The Holy Scripture is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice.

On baptism.

  • We understand baptism to be only for those who profess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and that it is an act of obedience by those who subject themselves to His sovereignty.
  • We believe baptism symbolizes the spiritual cleansing and conversion of believers and is thus an essential part of one's faith but does not in and of itself save.
  • We baptize by immersion, and honor other modes of baptism (sprinkling, pouring, et cetera) as long as it occurred after personal belief in Christ and was understood by the one being baptized. Otherwise we re-baptize.
  • Children may be baptized, as long as they are old enough to understand and receive the gospel, are able to give testimony to others of their faith, and are given permission by their parents.
  • As a biblical rite of initiation into the body of Christ, baptism of believers is considered a prerequisite for joining the membership of the church.
