Statement of Faith

We believe...in God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

We believe...that Jesus Christ, the Son, suffered in our place on the cross, that He died but rose again and that He now sits at the Father's right hand until He returns to judge all men at the last day.

We believe...in the Holy Scriptures as the inspired and inerrant Word of God.

We believe...that by the grace of God, every person has the ability and responsibility to choose between right and wrong, and that those who repent of their sin and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ are justified by faith.

We believe...that God not only counts believers as righteous, but that He makes them righteous; freeing them of sin's dominion at conversion, purifying their hearts by faith and perfecting them in love at entire sanctification, and providing for their growth in grace at every stage of their spiritual life, enabling them through the presence and power of the Holy Spirit to live a victorious life.
