OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe...

• in the one triune God who exists in three persons- the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Matt. 28:19), who created and rules the heavens and earth and who works to redeem mankind and all creation.
• in the full humanity and deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His substitutionary atonement, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory (John 1:1-18, 1 Cor. 15:3-6, 2 Cor. 5:21, Acts 1:11, 1 Thess. 5:16-17).
• in the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Trinity, who regenerates, sanctifies, guides, and empowers through His gifts all believers (1 Cor. 12:4-11, Gal. 5:16-23, Titus 3:5).
• that the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and wholly authoritative Word of God, and that it is our standard guide for faith and practice (2 Tim. 3:16-17).
• that all men and women are sinners and can only be justified by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as a free gift of God (Eph. 2:10).
• in water baptism and an open communion table for all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Matt. 28:19-20, 1 Cor. 11:23-26).
• in the visible and bodily return of Jesus Christ to Earth and in the resurrection of all men and women to a final judgment; eternal blessing for the righteous and eternal punishment for the wicked (Matt. 25:31-46).

OUR LIFESTYLE STATEMENT (What we practice)
IN ESSENTIAL BELIEFS- WE HAVE UNITY

“There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” Ephesians 4:4-6

IN NON-ESSENTIAL BELIEFS- WE HAVE DIVERSITY

“Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters...Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand...So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God...So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the man who does not condemn himself by what he approves.” Romans 14:1,4,12,22
“You can walk hand in hand without seeing eye to eye.”

IN ALL OUR BELIEFS, WE SHOW LOVE

“If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.” 1 Corinthians 13:2
