Our Mission Statement
The primary mission is to glorify God by introducing
Jesus Christ to people, establishing and maintaining relationships
with Jesus Christ, discipline towards a deeper commitment to
follow Jesus Christ, and to perform good works for God's glory.
Our Statement of Faith
We believe:
-
The Scriptures, both Old and
New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God, without error
in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will
for the salvation of men, and the Divine and final authority
for all Christian faith and life
- In one God, Creator of all things, infinitely
perfect and eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son
and Holy Spirit
- That Jesus Christ is true God and true man,
having been conceived of the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin
Mary. HE died on the cross for our sins according to the Scriptures.
Further, he arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven,
where at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He now is our
High Priest and Advocate
- That the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to
glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, and during this age to convict
men, regenerate the believing sinner, indwell, guide, instruct
and empower the believer for godly living and service
- That man was created in the image of God but
fell into sin and is therefore lost and only through regeneration
by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained
- That the shed blood of Jesus Christ and his
resurrection provide the only ground for all who believe, and
only such as receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit,
and thus become Children of God
- That water baptism and the Lord's Supper are
ordinances to be observed by the Church during the present age.
They are, however, not be regarded as means of Salvation
- That the true Church is composed of all such
persons who, through saving faith in Jesus Christ, have been
regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the
body of Christ of which He is the head
- That only those who are thus members of the
true Church shall be eligible for membership in the local church
- That Jesus Christ is the Lord and Head of the
Church, and that every local church as the right under Christ
to decide and govern its own affairs
- In the personal ad pre millennial and imminent
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and that this "Blessed
Hope" has a vital bearing on the personal life and service
of the believer
- In the bodily resurrection of the dead; of
the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord,
of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment

God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who
believes in him
will not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:16
