OUR FAITH
We believe in the triune God, maker of all creation, who is the all-knowing, all powerful, ever-present eternal Father, the source of all goodness, truth, and love.
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ as the son of God, who died on the cross in our place as the supreme sacrifice for sin, was buried in a tomb, but rose again on the third day and is now exalted as King of kings and the Lord of lords and will soon return to earth with all power and Glory.
We believe in the divine inspiration of the scriptures and that the Word of God is the sufficient rule of faith and practice, and the final authority for truth and salvation.
We believe in water baptism by immersion.
We believe in the in filling of the Holy Spirit which will lead and guide believers as they pursue Godly living. (I Peter 1:16)
We believe in the Church, established by the Lord as a spiritual community for worship, stewardship, and service to God and men.
We believe in the Judgment Day, when all men will stand before God to account for their lives, where the unconverted will be punished, and the true Christians will receive their just rewards.
We believe in tithing and offerings as the method of supporting the work of the Lord, as ordained in Malachi 3:8-10.

OUR WORSHIP
We pray together because the Bible reads, "they lifted up their voices to God with one accord..." Acts 4:24
We lift our hands in praise because in the Bible we read, "Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the Lord." Psalm 132:2
We sing with all our hearts because in the Bible we read, "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth; make a loud noise and rejoice, and sing praise." Psalm 98:4
