What We Believe
God: There is one and only one living and true God, an intelligent, spiritual, and personal Being, the Creator, Preserver, Redeemer, and Ruler of the universe, infinite in holiness and all other perfections, to whom we owe the highest love, reverence, and obedience. He is revealed to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, each with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.
Genesis 1:1; Exodus 3:14; Deuteronomy 5:6-7, 6:4-5; Isaiah 48:12-13; Jeremiah 10:10; Matthew 28:19; John 1:14-18; John 5:26; Galatians 4: 4-6; I Timothy 1:17; I Corinthians 8:4-6; Hebrews 11:6
The Fall of Mankind: Mankind was created by the special act of God, as recorded in Genesis (Genesis 1:27 and Genesis 2:7). Man was created male and female, in a state of holiness under the law of our Maker, but, through the temptation of Satan, man fell from the state of original holiness and righteousness; whereby their posterity inherit a nature corrupt and in bondage to sin, are under condemnation, and as soon as they are capable of moral action become actual transgressors.
Romans 3:21; Genesis 1:27, 2:7, 3:4-7, 3:22-24; Psalm 51:5; John 1:23; Romans 5:12-14, 7:23-25; Colossians 1:21
The Way of Salvation: The salvation of sinners is wholly of grace, through the mediatorial office of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who by the Holy Spirit was born of the Virgin Mary and took upon him our nature, yet without sin; honored the divine law by his personal obedience and made atonement for our sins by His death on the cross. Being risen from the dead, He is now enthroned in Heaven, and uniting in His person the tenderest sympathies with divine perfections, he is in every way qualified to be a compassionate and all-sufficient Savior.
Matthew 1:21-25; Luke 1:35; Romans 1:1-6, 3:25; I Corinthians 13:3-4; Galatians 2:19-20, 3:13; Ephesians 1:7-14, 1:20-23; Ephesians 2:1-3; Colossians 1:21-23
Justification: Justification is God’s gracious and full acquittal upon principles of righteousness of all sinners who believe in Christ. This blessing is bestowed, not in consideration of any works of righteousness which we have done, but through the redemption that is in and through Jesus Christ; it brings us into a state of most blessed peace and favor with God, and secures every other needed blessing.
Romans 3:21-26, 5:1-2, 8:30; I Corinthians 1:30-31; II Corinthians 5:21
Salvation: The blessings of salvation are made free to all by the gospel. It is the duty of all to accept them by penitent and obedient faith. We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. Nothing prevents the salvation of the greatest sinner except his own voluntary refusal to accept Jesus Christ as Teacher, Savior, and Lord.
Mark 16:16; John 3:14-18; Romans 5:1-11; I Corinthians 1:30-31; Ephesians 1:5, 2:4-10; Revelations 22:17
Regeneration: Regeneration of the new birth is a change of heart wrought by the Holy Spirit, whereby we become partakers of the divine nature and a holy disposition is given, leading to the love and practice of righteousness. It is a work of God’s free grace conditioned upon faith in Christ and made manifest by the fruit which we bring forth to the glory of God.
John 1:12-13, 3:1-8; Romans 8:1-3; II Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 6:15, Ephesians 2:1-10, 4:30; Colossians 3:1-11; Titus 3:3-7
Church: The church of Christ is a congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel; observing the ordinances of Christ, governed by His laws, and exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by His word, and seeking to extend the gospel to the end of the earth. Its scriptural officers are bishops or elders, and deacons.
Matthew 16:18, 18:15-18; Acts 2:41-47, 14:21-24; I Corinthians 1:2, 9:14, 9:16; Philippians 1:1; I Timothy 3:1-13
The Bible: We believe that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, word of God, and is a perfect treasure of life instruction; that it has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth for its matter; that it reveals the principles by which God will judge us; and therefore is, and will remain to the end of the world, the true center of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and religious opinions should be tried.
Luke 16: 29-31; Ephesians 2:19-22; Matthew 22:29-32; John 1:45; II Timothy 3:14-17; Hebrews 1:1; II Peter 1:19-21; Psalm 19:7-11; Psalm 119:1-9,119:105
What Should I Expect?
Our worship is blended, our dress is casual, and the Scriptures will be communicated in a practical and applicable way.
