BELIEFS

Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. 

The Gospel plan of Salvation revealed in the New Testament is:

  • Believe the Gospel: That Jesus Christ died for our sins, and rose from the dead; His kingdom is here and all are invited. 
  • Repent: Embracing this gospel involves repenting, turning away from sin and rebellion, and toward the love of God.
  • Confess: Devotion to Jesus includes publicly declaring our confidence in His death and resurrection.
  • Be Baptize: Surrender to Jesus involves being immersed in water as a participation in Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection. 
  • Walk with Christ: Disciples of Jesus will be with Jesus, learn from him, and become like him.

Both the Old Testament and New Testament are the inspired Word of God and are profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness.

We believe that the documents collected in the Bible represent God's inspired revelation to mankind, containing absolute truth about God, His creation, and the redemption of that creation through Jesus Christ. The early church as recorded in the New Testament serves as the model of faith and practice for the modern church.

ACTIONS

We see ourselves not as the only Christians, but as Christians only, seeking to avoid sectarianism and denominationalism.

We keep the Lord’s Supper weekly as a testimony to Christ, offering each Christian the opportunity to accept Christ’s invitation to partake after self-examination.

We exercise a spirit of love toward all men, irrespective of differences, theological, political, or personal.

We welcome everyone. The Church, though, is the community of people that have committed themselves to the lordship of Christ by the terms of His New Testament.

We contend for freedom of spiritual practice in all areas where the Scriptures have not spoken.

We hope that our congregation can help restore the truth and simplicity of the Church as established by Christ and organized by His inspired apostles, as revealed in the Word of God.

We welcome questions and seekers of God without exception and with joy, not judgment.
