What We Believe

---

We believe that God is the creator of the universe and all that is in it, including mankind which God created in His own image with the capacity for spiritual communion with Him.

We believe the Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testament, was written through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

We accept the Bible as the source and basis of our beliefs and practices.

We believe the Old Testament reveals God’s grace to redeem fallen mankind and to restore communion with God.

We believe the New Testament reveals God through the life and ministry of Jesus Christ whom we recognize and accept as our Savior and Lord.

We support the historic beliefs of the Baptist heritage to include: the priesthood of every believer; the ordinances of believer’s baptism and communion (the Lord’s Supper); the autonomy and self-government of the local congregation; and religious freedom.

We believe the local church consists of a body of believers with Christ as the head and organized for worship, fellowship, discipleship, evangelism, and service.

We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. Compassion, love, kindness, respect and dignity shall be shown to every person.
