Inspiring people to live for Jesus

FOLLOW JESUS.   FIND LIFE.   DISCOVER GIFTS.   START INFLUENCING.

The Bible

2 Timothy 3:16; 1 Thessalonians 2:13
The Bible is God’s Word to all people. It was written by people under the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Bible is inspired by God, true, without error, and relevant and applicable to our lives today. The Bible is the basis for all we believe and is our manual for living. We practice daily Bible reading and study. When faced with a decision, the first question is, "What does the Bible say?"

Salvation

2 Corinthians 5:17; Matthew 16:25
The blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the only way of salvation through the forgiveness of sin. Salvation occurs when people place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin. Salvation is a gift from God, and it cannot be earned through our own efforts. When we recognize that we are sinners and have fallen short of God's plan for us. We ask God for forgiveness and then seek His direction for our lives.

The Son

John 14:6; Acts 4: 11-12
Jesus Christ is entirely human and entirely God. He was born of a virgin mother as the Son of God, whose purpose was to bring God's people back into a relationship with Him. He lived a perfect, sinless life so that He could take our place in God's request for perfect righteousness. His resurrection defeated death and gives us the opportunity to have new life.

The Holy Spirit

Acts 1:8; Ephesians 5:18; Luke 11:13
The Holy Spirit’s presence guides, convicts, comforts, equips, and assures us of our relationship with God. He leads us into all truth and makes us more like Jesus Christ. We believe that the only way possible to live the Christian life is by God's power within us.  All believers can be filled with the Holy Spirit simply by asking and God's Spirit can enable us to do what is right.

Eternity

Titus 2:13; 1 Corinthians 15:51,52
Mankind was created to exist forever, either eternally separated from God in sin or forever united with God through forgiveness in Heaven. Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is Heaven.

The Church

Mark 16:15-20; John 4:23,24;
Ephesians 4:11-16; Psalms 112:9
The Church is a local community of believers unified through faith in Jesus. It is committed to teaching the commands of Jesus, equipping individuals with the necessary tools to obey God, and empowering them to share the Gospel with the world.
