We
believe that God created the world and loves all of His creation. We recognize
Him as the Father of all mankind and THE ultimate authority
(Genesis 1:1, John 3:16). We
believe the Bible is the inspired word of God. It is a book like no other
in that it reveals to us that our salvation is a precious gift of grace
through the sacrifice of Christ Jesus (John
1:1-2, Timothy 3:16, Romans 3:21-26). We hold no other creed
or authority. We believe that Christ Jesus
is the only hope of salvation. He has all authority and deserves our recognition
as Lord and Savior (John 14:6, Matthew 28:18-20).
We believe the Church is the body of Christ
Jesus. It is made up of those who believe, love, and obey Christ Jesus
and are thus blessed with the the gift of The Holy Spirit. Forgiveness
from sins is found in Christ Jesus through faith which brings repentance,
confession and baptism. Our church is led
by Elders, served by Deacons and emphasizes the ministry and involvement
of All believers (Colossians 1:18, Acts
2:38).

When
we worship we seek to carefully imitate the examples in the New Testament
by singing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs; making music in our hearts
to the Lord (Ephesians 5:19).
We pray giving thanks for our blessings and taking our petitions
to God (Philippians 4:6, Ephesians 6:18).
We observe the Lords Supper on the first day of the week
partaking in a manner specified by the Apostle Paul (Acts
20:7, 1 Corinthians 10:16 & 11:24-25).
We give money towards the works of the Church with a cheerful spirit
and according to our means (2 Corinthians 9:7,
1 Corinthians 6:18).
We hear and study the words of God that we might please Him
(Romans 10:17, Acts 17:11).
We fellowship
with our Savior and with one another to encourage good deeds
(1 John 1:17). We
invite you to join us in worship, fellowship, singing, learning and all
activities of the Church specified in God's Divine Word.
