Our Beliefs
- We believe that God is the creator of all things.
- We believe that humankind, both male and female, is created in the image
of God.
- We believe that humankind freely chose to disobey God and, as a
consequence of this act, came under the power of sin and that sin brought
alienation from God and spiritual death.
- We believe God loves every person and that He sent His Son, Jesus
Christ, in order that all may be restored to fellowship with Him and have
eternal life.
- We believe that through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross and His
resurrection from the grave, the power of sin is broken and the Believer
enters into fellowship with God.
- We believe that the Scriptures are the inspired Word of God and are our
sole authority in matters faith and practice.
- We believe in the priesthood of every Believer and that every person is
competent to interpret the scriptures for himself or herself under the
leadership of the Holy Spirit.
- We believe that the Church is the Body of Christ and is composed of all
Believers who have been baptized into Christ.
Our Church Covenant
United in the faith that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, revealed in history,
disclosed in the Scriptures, and experienced in human life, we do solemnly and
joyfully make this Covenant together:
- That we will be faithful in the assembling of ourselves together for
worship, be diligent in praying, both for ourselves and others, and be
constant in our reading and studying of the Bible; (Prayer, Bible Study,
Worship, Fellowship)
- That we will be faithful stewards, as God has prospered us, contributing our
financial support for the church and its ministries, and offering ourselves
for God’s work in the world; (Stewardship)
- That we will be a servant church, recognizing the infinite worth of every
person and believing that Christ has called us to active involvement on
behalf of human brotherhood; (Service)
- That we will participate in each others’ joy, and endeavor with tenderness
and sympathy to bear each others’ burdens and sorrows; (Fellowship)
- That we will exercise a Christian care and watchfulness over each other, and
that our differences will not separate us but rather increase our
understanding and strengthen the bonds of Christian love; (Fellowship)
- That we earnestly endeavor to take seriously the responsibility and
privilege of personal Christian growth in our homes, and that we will, with
God’s help, so live our lives that we might lead our kindred and
acquaintances to know Jesus Christ our Lord; (Evangelism)
- That we will, should we move from this church, unite with another church as
soon as possible, where we can carry out the spirit of this Covenant;
(Membership-Fellowship)
- And that through life, in the midst of evil as well as good, we will seek to
live to the glory of Him who has called us out of darkness into His
marvelous light. (Christian Living)
