What we Believe.
† The Trinity We believe in God; Father, Son
and Holy Spirit
† The Christ We believe that Jesus was the Son
of God, born of the virgin Mary. We believe that He was fully
God and fully man.
† The Resurrection of Christ We believe that Christ
died upon the cross for our sins, was laid in the tomb, and on
the third day rose from the dead.
† The Bible We believe that the Bible is God’s
inspired Word. We believe that all we need for salvation is
found in the Holy Scriptures of the Bible
† Free Will We believe that all people are created
with free will. While we seek God’s guidance and direction
for our lives, God does not determine our actions. We are free
to make our own decisions, and are responsible for our actions.
This free will includes the ability to accept or reject Christ.
† Salvation by Faith Alone We are saved by grace
through faith in Christ. No amount of good works can save us.
† Good Works Having accepted Christ, we will want
to express our faith by good works. However, these good works
are not a means to salvation.
† Sanctification The first step in our faith journey
is to as Lord and Savior. This first step is often called “Justification”.
Following this first step, we begin a lifelong process of becoming
more Christ like. This process is called Sanctification.
† Ministry of All Believers We are all gifted by
God, and each of us has a calling to be a part of the work of
Christ and His church. Therefore, we are all ministers of the
Gospel.
