Romans 10:9-10 states, "that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation." It is as simple as that. For a more detailed explanation, please visit “The Best News.”

We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God. It is the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the Creator and Sustainer of all things.

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His atoning death on the cross, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory.

We believe that salvation is a gift of God’s grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ alone. It involves repentance, a turning from sin to God, and is evidenced by a life of growing holiness.

We believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer, empowering them for godly living and service. The Spirit also bestows spiritual gifts for the edification of the church.

We believe in the universal church, a living spiritual body of which Christ is the Head and all regenerated persons are members.

We believe in the local church as a visible expression of Christ's body, committed to worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry, and mission.

We believe in the ordinances of believer’s baptism by immersion and the Lord’s Supper as acts of obedience and symbols of our faith. Baptism symbolizes the believer’s identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. The Lord’s Supper is a commemoration of Christ’s sacrifice and a proclamation of His return.

We believe that Christians are called to a life of holiness, characterized by love, compassion, integrity, and service.

We strive to live out our faith in our homes, workplaces, and communities, demonstrating the love of Christ to all.
