Distinctives
We Believe: Jesus Christ is the foundation and cornerstone of the Church, and He came to restore man’s broken relationship with God. His finished work on the cross made that possible. Because of His love demonstrated on the cross by dying for our sins, we now have reason to fellowship with one another and proclaim salvation through His life, death and resurrection. (I Corinthians 3:11, Ephesians 2:20, Romans 5:6-10)
The Bible: We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God and is relevant and applicable to man today. Therefore, we place a great emphasis upon teaching it in public, studying it in private, and using it as a guide for our daily lives. (I Timothy 4:13, II Timothy 3:16-17, I Thessalonians 2:13)
Worship: We believe God is worthy of all praise, reverence and love. We take special time to worship Him in church through song. It is our goal to worship Him with our whole lives, at home, at work and at play. (John 4:23, Colossians 3:16, I Thessalonians 5:16-18)
Christian Growth: Our supreme desire is to know Christ and to be conformed into His image, likeness and example by the power of the Holy Spirit. We encourage this by abiding in Jesus Christ through His Word, prayer and fellowship, and by yielding our life to the Holy Spirit. (John 15:5, Romans 8:29, Ephesians 4:15)
Love: Love is the greatest virtue and demonstration of the reality of Jesus Christ. We endeavor to show a Christlike love toward all men. Love should be exhibited in our lives by our words as well as our actions. (John 13:34-35, I Corinthians 13:13, Philippians 2:3-5)
Christian Service: Christian service is a part of Christian life and is the responsibility of all believers. Our goal is to develop the ministry of every member to benefit all. (Ephesians 4:11-13, I Corinthians 12:4-7)
Salvation: We believe that salvation is by Grace through Faith and not by works that no man may boast. That if you confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. (Ephesians 2:4-10, Romans 10:8-11)
