WHO WE ARE
We are a diverse group of believers who, like Christ, are seeking to make all men and women whole, with God’s guidance. Our goal is to lift up the name of Jesus. John 12:32–And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
It is our firm belief that the Bible, in its entirety, is the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God. [2 Timothy 3:16-17]
We believe in the Trinity, one God in three persons: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. [Deuteronomy 6:4, 2 Corinthians 13:14]
We believe that Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died for our sins, was raised from the dead, and is at the right hand of the Father as true God and true man. [Matthew 1:18-25, Romans 9:5, Hebrews 12:2]
We believe that all mankind was created in the image of God, but fell from a relationship with God by voluntary disobedience. Only through accepting Jesus Christ’s sacrifice of His shed blood for our sins, can we be forgiven and restored into fellowship with God. [Genesis 1:27, Romans 3:23; 5:1; 6:23, Ephesians 1:7]
We believe that water baptism by immersion in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. [Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38; 8:36-38]
We believe that the holy ordinance of Communion should be received by believers walking in fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ as a remembrance and celebration of what Christ accomplished for them on the cross. [Luke 22:19-20, 1 Corinthians 11:23-29]
