As a family of Believers in the Body of Christ, we hold to the following beliefs:

God	There is one God who exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. He is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. 1 Chronicles 29:11-13

Jesus	Jesus is the Son of God, was born of a virgin, was wholly God and wholly man, lived a sinless life, died in our place as a sacrifice for the sins of mankind, was buried, arose bodily from the grave, and ascended into Heaven. Jesus will literally return to earth and will reign as King over all the earth. Hebrews 1:1-3

Holy Spirit	God the Holy Spirit is the Comforter and Guide Who lives in every Believer, exalts Jesus Christ, convinces unbelievers of their need for salvation, and draws people to God. John 16:8-13

The Bible	The Bible is the inspired Word of God, is without error, and is the sole authority for life and faith. 2 Timothy 3:16, 17

Humans	Human beings are a special creation of God, made in His image. Because of the sin of Adam, the first man, all humans are sinners and need salvation. Romans 5:12

Salvation	Salvation is a free gift, available to all. It is a personal decision that must be individually made when one comes to realize his or her need for Christ to save them from the penalty of sin. Salvation is received through repentance and trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ for eternal life. Ephesians 2:8, 9

Assurance	Every person who is truly saved is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ. John 3:16

Christ's Return	Christ's Return Jesus Christ will literally return to earth. Revelation 20:4-6

Eternity	People who die in their sins without Christ spend eternity in Hell and those who die with their sins forgiven through Christ spend eternity in Heaven. Revelation 20:11-15

Baptism	Baptism is the picture of Jesus Christ's death, burial and resurrection. It is an act of obedience that identifies you with the One to whom you have committed your life. Baptism does not earn salvation. The word "baptize" literally means "to immerse" and we believe baptism by immersion pictures our position with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection. Acts 8:36-39

Church	The Church is the Body of Christ with the Lord Jesus Christ as the Head. The local church is a body of Believers serving Christ together. Colossians 1:18

Prayer	Every Believer has direct access to God through the Lord Jesus Christ. Hebrews 4:14-16

The Lord's Supper	The Lord's Supper is a symbolic act of obedience whereby Believers remember the death of the Lord Jesus and anticipate His second coming. The bread is symbolic of His body and the juice represents His blood. 1 Corinthians 11:23-29
