A few words
About Us
Statement Of Faith
-
- We believe the Holy Scriptures (66 books) of the Old Testament and New Testament are the inerrant, inspired, and infallible Word of God. God’s Word is the final authority for faith and life. “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right” 2 Timothy 3:16
-
- We believe there is only one God, and He has chosen to reveal Himself as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. “For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one” 1 John 5:7
-
- We believe man was created in the image of God and the sin of Adam (the first man) marred that image, creating an eternal divide between God and man. Every person is born in sin. “Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people because all sinned” Romans 5:12
-
- We believe Jesus was the provision made and bridge to that divide. The only way a person can have a true, forgiven relationship with God is believing in Jesus and His sacrifice on the cross. Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6. And “…to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God”. John 1:12
-
- We believe Jesus paid a debt we owed and could not pay. Our right standing with God is made sure because of His literal, physical death and resurrection. “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live” John 11:25
-
- We believe Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary and conceived by the Holy Spirit. Jesus became man without ceasing to be God. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.” John 1:1,14b
-
- We believe during his first coming Jesus came to seek and save the lost. When He returns, it will be to judge the living and the dead. “For this is how God loved the world: He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. John 3:16,17
-
- We believe God offers eternal life as a free gift and that it must be received by faith alone through God’s grace alone “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast” The life that comes from this gift is a permanent possession of the one receiving it. “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23
-
- We believe the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is a body of believers on mission to enlarge God’s kingdom based on Jesus’ saying “But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship Him that way.” John 4:23
-
- We believe the Great Commission is for every believer to make Jesus known as HOPE for all mankind “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20
