Our Mission
We take our stand on the Bible.
Affirming it to be the complete, inspired and authoritative Word of God.
We believe there is one true and living God; creator of all things.
We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the only One through whom people can be saved.
We believe that we are saved through faith in Jesus Christ. It is not our own works, but God’s power through the
blood of Christ that saves us.
We believe the true church is the one found in the New Testament. Therefore, our effort and desire is to believe and do
what the church did and taught.
We believe the New Testament teaches that a person comes in contact with the saving blood of Christ at the point they
are moved by faith to repent, confess Jesus as Lord, and be immersed in baptism for the remission of sins.
We believe that becoming a Christian embraces a commitment to spiritual growth in service, prayer, worship and giving.
We believe our mission is to seek the spiritually lost and to share the good news of Jesus Christ
