Our Beliefs
 |
The Sole Basis of Our Belief is the Bible
The sole basis of our belief is the Bible,
which is uniquely God-inspired, without error, and the final
authority on all matters in which it bears. As the Bible teaches,
there is one God, eternally existing in three persons; Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit, each possessing all the attributes of
Deity.

I Corinthians
15:1-8
"...that Jesus Christ is the one and only Son of God who died
for our sins and rose from the dead."
|
II Timothy 3:16
"...that the Bible is the inspired Word of God -- 'A lamp unto
our feet and a light unto our path'."
|
|
Romans 3:23
"..that every person has worth as a creation of God, but that
all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God."
|
John 3:16
"...that forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life
are available to those who trust Christ as Savior and Lord."
|
|
Romans 10:9, Acts
2:38
"...that those accepting Christ should repent of sin, confess
their faith and be baptized into Him."
|
Ephesians 4:1-16
"...that the Church is the body of Christ on earth and exists
to introduce Christ to those who do not yet know Him -- and
deepen the understanding of those who accept Him."
|
|
I Thessalonians
4:13-18
"..that Jesus Christ will one day return to earth and reign
forever as King of Kings and Lord of Lords."

The Lord's Supper, or Holy Communion is
served each service at Christ's invitation
All who have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior are
welcome to join us in partaking. The small wafer of bread
represents Christ's body which was sacrificed on the cross for
the sins of mankind. The cup of juice stands for Jesus' blood
which was shed so that we might all inherit eternal life. You
may remove the bread and the cup as they are passed and partake
of them individually, after a time of quiet meditation.
