WE BELIEVE:
The Scriptures- The Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is the record of God's revelation of Himself to man. It had God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth for its matter. God- There is one and only one living and true God. God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence or being. To God we owe the highest love, reverence, and obedience. Humanity- We were created by the special act of God, in His own image, and the crowning work of His creation. Only the grace of God can bring humanity into His holy fellowship and enable us to fulfill the creative purpose of God. Every person possesses dignity and is worthy of respect and Christian love. Salvation- Salvation involves the redemption of the whole person, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. The Church- A New Testament church is a local body of baptized believers who are associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel. The church is an autonomous body, operating through democratic processes under the Lordship of Christ. In such a congregation members are equally responsible.
