Personal SalvationWe believe that salvation is a personal relationship with God, based upon the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. Salvation may be experienced by confession of sin and faith in Jesus Christ.Full Devotion to Jesus Christ and His CauseWe believe that whole-hearted devotion to Jesus Christ should be the Biblical norm for every Christian, and should be encouraged and expected by every believer in the community. We believe that God is working out his purposes in our time and wants to involve us in His mission. Being a Biblically Functioning CommunityWe believe that the Bible is God's inerrant word and is the supreme authority for what we believe and do The Great Commission of Jesus ChristWe believe that it is our responsibility to continue the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ: seeking the lost; Discipling; Baptizing and maturing all believers. We believe that our missionary vision is local, national and global. Cultural RelevanceWe believe that while the truth of God's word never changes, the culture, in which we are called to apply these eternal principles of truth, is ever changing. We must seek to understand our culture and minister the truth of God's word in the most effective way, without compromising Biblical absolutes. Equipping and Mobilizing Members to MinisterWe believe that everyone in the body of Christ has been uniquely designed to serve God, and it is the responsibility of the church to equip, encourage and actively help the individual believer find a meaningful place of ministry. |
The Traditional FamilyWe seek to provide an atmosphere which strengthens marriages and families, and encourages healthy relationships among all age groups within the Christian community Commitment to Numerical GrowthAlthough numerical growth is not a sign of God's blessing, nor a sufficient goal in itself, we believe that God desires for us to reach as many people as possible with the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. Holy LivingWe believe that every Christian should endeavor to be like Jesus Christ; should manifest authenticity, genuineness, spiritual growth and should strive to display integrity and Godly character in every area of life. Christian UnityAlthough the church community consists of people with differing viewpoints in many areas, Jesus Christ expects us to set aside our personal feelings so that we can maximize our unified impact on the lost, John 17. Each IndividualEvery person is the special object of God's love, therefore, we respect and love people of all races, colors, national origins, and social strata. Baptism and the Lord's SupperWe believe that these two ordinances were given to the church: baptism by immersion that identifies a believer with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the Lord's Supper, which is a memorial celebration to be commemorated until the Lord's return. |
