Our Beliefs

What We believe

The Holy Bible, in its entirety, is the inspired Word of God and the only infallible rule of conduct
One triune God exists in the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
The Lord Jesus Christ:  God manifest in the flesh, Virgin birth, His sinless life, His divine miracles, His crucifixion and resurrection, His ascension, His mediatory work, and His personal return in power and glory.
The fall of man and his need for redemption
Personal salvation, apart from works, through faith in the substitution sacrifice of Jesus Christ
Holy Communion, the Lord's Supper
The resurrection of the dead, the eternal happiness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost
Baptism in water
Baptism in the Holy Spirit

Our Vision

"Equipping the Saints with the Fulness of God"  

Our Mission

To “Equip” means to form Christlikeness, complete in Christ, perfect (mature, full-grown, adult) grown-up, holy and sanctified.

(Eph. 4:13; Phil. 3:15; Heb.6:1; Gal.4:19; Col.1:28; Matt. 5:48; Phil. 3:12; Col.1:28; Eph.4:15; Rom.6:19, 22.)
