What we believe
The Bible
We believe the entire Bible to be the Word of God. We believe the Holy Spirit inspired men to write the scriptures and the scriptures in their original form are without error.
Deuteronomy 4:1-2; Psalms 119:11; 89; 105; Isaiah 40:8; Matthew 22:29; John 5:39; 16:13-15; 17:17; Romans 15:4; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; Hebrews 1:1-2; 4:12; 1 Peter 1:25; 2 Peter 3:16
The Father
We believe God the Father is perfect in every way. He has infinite knowledge, power, and presence. He is merciful, kind, compassionate, loving, righteous, just, and holy. The universe cannot contain Him, and He fills all things everywhere with His glory. In Him we live and move and have our being.

The Son
We believe Jesus took on human flesh to reveal God to people and that a relationship with God is possible only through the finished work of Christ on the cross. We believe Jesus lived, died, and was resurrected from the dead as proof that He conquered sin and death on behalf of all believers. We eagerly look forward to His physical return.

The Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit dwells within every believer. We believe He gives spiritual gifts, comforts, and convicts of sin. We believe the evidence of the Holy Spirit in a believer is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and self control.
