Denomination: Christian Church
Our Vision
TO KNOW GOD AND GLORIFY HIM BY MAKING DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST
Our Core Values
EVANGELISM
We believe the Gospel really is Good News meant to be shared with all people! We value sharing Jesus with our words and our lives - individually, in community, and corporately.
COMMUNITY
Following Jesus is designed to be lived together, in community. As humans, we were made to give, receive, and do life with others. We value these relationships as essential to living out the Gospel.
GENEROSITY
God calls every follower of Jesus to give generously. A heart that is devoted to Jesus generously gives its time, its talents, and its physical resources.
Our Beliefs
We believe:
1. The Bible is the inspired Word of God. It is inerrant in its original writing, and that it is the only infallible rule for faith and life. (2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:19-21; Hebrews 4:12; Psalm 119:105, 160; Psalm 12:6; Proverbs 30:5)
2. In one God (Deut. 6:4; 1 Timothy 2:5), creator of heaven and earth (Genesis 1:1, 26, 27; Colossians 1:16), eternally existing (Psalm 90:2; Revelation 1:8) in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19, 20; 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 Peter 1:2).
3. Jesus Christ is God’s only begotten Son (John 3:16), born of a virgin (Matthew 1:22, 23), and is fully God (John 1:1-4; 8:56-58), and fully man (John 1:14; Philippians 2:6-8). God’s revelation of Himself, His purpose, and His will was completed in Jesus Christ as is recorded in the Bible (1 Corinthians 15:3, 4).
4. The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity. His ministry is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ (John 16:14, 15). During this age, He draws men to God; convicts men of sin, righteousness and judgment (John 16:7-13); indwells and seals the believer at conversion (1 Corinthians 3:16; Ephesians 1:13, 14); comforts, guides, instructs and empowers the believer for godly service (John 14:16, 17, 26; Acts 1:8). The evidence of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is the fruit that He produces in believer (Galatians 5:22-25; Matthew 7:16).
5. Man was created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). Man sinned, bringing upon himself both physical and spiritual death, which is separation from God (Isaiah 53:6a; Isaiah 59:1, 2; Romans 3:23).
6. Jesus Christ died for our sins as a substitutionary sacrifice (1 Peter 2:21-24; 1 John 2:2); He arose bodily from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:3-5), and ascended into heaven where He now serves as our advocate (Romans 8:33, 34; 1 John 2:1).
7. The shed blood of Jesus Christ provides the only basis for salvation to all who believe (Romans 5:1-10; Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 18, 19; John 14:6).
8. We are eternally saved (John 10:27-29; 2 Timothy 1:12; Hebrews 7:25; 10:10, 14; 1 Peter 1:3-5) when we recognize ourselves as sinners (Romans 3:23) and put our faith in Christ, not because of any work we do (Ephesians 2:8, 9; Titus 3:5). All who receive Christ through faith are born again in the Holy Spirit (John 1:12; Galatians 3:26).
9. In the personal, and imminent return of Jesus Christ, and that this “Blessed Hope” has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believer (Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Timothy 6:13-15; Titus 2:13; Revelation 22:20).
