Our Mission
As followers of Jesus Christ in obedience to the Word, we covenant to be a nurturing community that challenges and equips one another for worship, witness, and service.
What We Believe
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God
We believe in one God, the creator and preserver of all things, who exits eternally in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, who are one in substance and equal in power and glory.
Human beings, created in the image of God, through disobedience fell from their sinless state at the suggestion of Satan. This fall plunged humans into a state of sin and separation from God. From this condition, humans can be saved only by the grace of God, through faith, on the basis of the work of Christ, and by the agency of the Holy Spirit.
The eternally pre-existent Son became incarnate without human father, by being born of the virgin Mary. Thus, in the Lord Jesus Christ, divine and human nature were united in one Person.
The believer, having turned to God in penitent faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, is accountable to God for living a life separated from sin characterized by evidence of the Fruit of the Spirit.
