What we believe
Maybe the best way to answer that question is to tell you who are not!
WE ARE NOT PEOPLE WHO...
- Will expect you to be perfect
- Will judge you for your past
- Want your money
- Care about the clothes you wear
- Make it difficult to come to Jesus Christ
- Value knowing about Jesus over living like Jesus
- Will ask you to live like Jesus and not provide the help to do so.
CORE BELIEFS
The Bible is the Word of God.
There is one God that exists in three persons; God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.
Jesus is the Son of God who died to save people from their sins.
People are saved by grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ.
Baptism is the means by which people are to publicly profess their faith in Christ and identify themselves with His death, burial, and resurrection.
