What We Believe

We believe in the Old and New Testaments as verbally inspired by God and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life.  We believe in one God, existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  We believe that Jesus was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is true God and true man.  We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death which is separation from God.  We believe the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins and that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood.  We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascesion into heaven, in His imminent bodily return and his present life in heaven for us as High Priest and Advocate.

Mission

Jesus said, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."               
(Matthew 28:19-20 NIV)
