STATEMENT OF FAITH

The purpose of our Statement of Faith is to communicate our basic beliefs regarding a relationship with Father God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We truly desire to walk in the love of Jesus Christ with all Christians according to John 13:34-35 “A new command I give to you: Love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

Our Need For A Savior

We believe that all are born sinners. That the Holy Spirit convicts of sin; that the Lord Jesus Christ paid the price for sin by shedding His precious blood on the cross as the atonement for sin; that those who refuse to accept His sacrifice for their sin are eternally lost; and that those who repent of their sins and personally accept and confess the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior receive forgiveness of sin, everlasting life, and become children of God.
