Who We Are
We are a group of people who have placed our faith
in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, and who
believe the Bible is God’s inerrant message to man.
We began as a church in 1976 and are striving to be
faithful to God by carrying out His plan for the New
Testament church.
What We Believe
We believe that the Creator, the triune God of the
Bible, has revealed Himself to mankind through the
Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. All
of the Bible is “God-breathed” and is profitable to
us for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and
for instruction in righteousness.
We believe that all are sinners by choice as well as
by nature, and that all are justly condemned by God
to eternal punishment in the lake of fire.
We believe there is only one way to have our sins
forgiven, and that is through faith in the death and
resurrection of the virgin-born Son of God, Jesus
Christ. We believe that He rose from the dead,
ascended into heaven, and is coming again before the
Tribulation to receive every born-again believer
unto Himself. He will then come bodily to the earth
after the Tribulation to set up the kingdom that God
promised to Israel.
Why We Exist
As a local church we exist to do three things: We
exist to bring praise and glory to God. We try to
conform all of our life to God’s Word, the Bible, so
that we will be pleasing to Him. We want our great
God to be seen for who He really is.
We exist to build each other up in our faith by
meeting together for fellowship and for the study of
the Bible. All of our interaction as a church is
designed to help and encourage each other to be the
kind of people God wants us to be.
We exist to bring the good news of God’s salvation
from sin to a world that is lost in sin. As the
apostle Paul said, “Now then, we are ambassadors
for Christ, as though God were pleading through us:
we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled
to God (2 Corinthians 5:20).
What We Do
Our first priority is the worship of God: Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit. For that reason we meet on
Sundays to sings hymns of praise to Him and to be
taught through sermons that come right from the
Bible. We are not interested in opinions of men; we
want to know what God says in the Scriptures.
Your Invitation to receive God’s gift of eternal
life
God’s free gift of eternal life cannot be deserved
nor earned by our good works. “For by grace you
have been saved through faith, and that not of
yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works,
lest anyone should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9).
This is because...
All
of us are sinners by nature and by choice. “For
all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”
(Romans 3:23). This is serious because of
what the Bible says about God:
God is holy and righteous and therefore must punish
sin. “The Lord is slow to anger and great in
power, and will not at all acquit the wicked” (Nahum
1:3).
But
God is also loving and merciful. “For You, Lord,
are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in
mercy to all those who call upon You” (Psalm 86:5).
Jesus Christ who is fully God as well as fully man
died on the Cross as a substitute payment for our
sins. Then on the third day after His crucifixion He
arose from the dead to show God’s justice was
satisfied. “...God was manifested in the
flesh...” (1 Timothy 3:16). “For Christ also
suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust,
that He might bring us to God...” (1 Peter 3:18).
God’s gift of eternal life is received by personally
trusting Christ alone as your Savior from sin.
“...If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus
and believe in your heart that God has raised Him
from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9).
