What We Believe

What We Believe


The Fall of Man- We Believe that Adam and Eve, the precursors of the entire human race, were created in the image of God; However, they disobeyed God and became sinners. Through Adam, all people inherited sin's nature and all are in need of a Redeemer (Genesis 1:27; Romans 5:12,19).

The Plan of Redemption - We believe that Christ died while we were still sinners; He took the punishment for our sin. With his own blood, He Purchased salvation and redemption for all who believe in him (John 3:16; Isaiah 53:5; Titus 2:14).

Salvation Through Grace - We believe that salvation is totally in act of God's grace that is accessed through faith in Jesus Christ. No person can be good enough to earn salvation, and "being cool" does not contribute to receiving God's love and favor (Ephesians 2:8,13)

Repentance and Acceptance - We believe that, when people repent for their sins and accept Christ, they are justified through Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross. To repent means to be sorry for sins, but it also means to turn away from a sinful lifestyle. Accepting Christ means believing in Him as the only Savior. To be justified means being declared "not guilty" in regard to sin (Romans 10:9-10; 1 John 1:9).

The New Birth - We Believe that the change that takes place in people when they are "born again" is very real. They receive righteousness through Jesus Christ, and they are empowered by the Holy Spirit; therefore, they would new desires, interests, and pursuits (John 3:3; 2 Corinthians 5:17).
