Wondering About God?

Wondering About God...?

About the Scriptures
We believe the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God and that men were moved by the Spirit of God to write the very words of Scripture. Therefore, we believe the Bible is without error.

About God
We believe in one God who exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ is the second member of the Trinity (the Son of God) who became flesh to reveal God to man and to become the Savior of the lost world.

About Mankind
We believe that mankind was created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him but became alienated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, man is incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through his own effort alone.

About Salvation
We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sin. Therefore, salvation occurs only when people place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin.

About Stewardship
We believe God is the source of all blessings, temporal and spiritual; all that we have and are we owe to Him.
   
About the Christian Life
We believe that every Christian should live for Christ and not for himself. By obedience to the Word of God and daily yielding to the Spirit of God, every believer should mature and be conformed to the image of Christ. We believe that God has uniquely designed us and has a plan for our lives.

About the Church
We believe that the church is the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head. We believe that God equips us with special abilities and gifts and that these gifts are available for use within this body.  The members of the church are those who have trusted by faith the finished work of Christ. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving Him and by making Him known to the lost world.

About Baptism
We believe Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water. It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer?s faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Savior, the believer?s death to sin, the burial of the old life, and the resurrection to walk in newness of life in Jesus Christ.

Evangelism & Missions
We believe it is the duty and privilege of every follower of Christ and every church to endeavor to make disciples of all nations. We seek to win the world to Christ by verbal witness under girded by a Christian lifestyle, and by other methods in harmony with the gospel of Christ.
