What We Believe
We share in holding that the Bible is the primary source and norm for Christian belief. In all matters of faith and morals, the authority of the Holy Scripture stands supreme.
We believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Redeemer.
We believe in the Holy Spirit as the person power and presence of God ever working in men to lift them to higher dimensions of living.
We believe in the Church as the body of Christ, the community of faith wherein the Christian life is called into being, nurtured, and shared.
We believe in life everlasting.
We believe in God, by faith, based on the written and spoken Word of God.
We believe that God is the ultimate Spirit; the Alpha and Omega; Ultimate Sovereign.
God has spoken to mankind through the Lord Jesus Christ to reveal His Character and His plan to the world. And we believe that by the power of the Holy Spirit, God's desire and plan for the world can be known thereby, we have hope.
We believe in the forgiveness of sins.
"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who ore in Christ Jesus" -Romans 8:1
