WE BELIEVE

We believe and teach that the Bible is the infallible word of God and is the foundation that the church is built on.  We do not have a denominational structure and are under the oversight of local elders.  We do not promote ourselves as being “the only Christians” but rather “Christians only” and “In essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, and in all things love."
Jesus Christ is the one and only Son of God who died for our sins and arose from the dead. (1 Corinthians 15:1-8)

JESUS IS THE CHRIST

That the Bible is the inspired word of God. (2 Timothy 3.16)

THE BIBLE IS INSPIRED

ALL HAVE SINNED

­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­That every person has worth as a creation of God but that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.(Romans 3:23)

OPEN HAND

CLOSED HAND

We have a set list of statements we believe based on the Bible.  We hold these things close to us with a closed hand. They are truths that we believe and will not budge on them as they are foundational to our faith. The list of "Closed Hand" items are listed below.  

We all have things that we believe about Christianity that fall into the area of opinion.  Each one of our journeys has allowed us to own our faith and that is okay and right. We hold these things of opinion with an open hand. We will not fight about things that are "Open Hand" issues. 

FORGIVENESS FOR THOSE WHO TRUST IN JESUS

­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­That forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life are available to those who trust Christ as Savior and Lord. (John 3:16)

REPENT, CONFESS, AND BE BAPTIZED

­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­That those desiring to accept Christ should repent and turn to the Lord, confess their faith and be baptized by immersion into him.  (Romans 10:9-10; Acts 2:38

THE CHURCH EXISTS TO DELIVER CHRIST'S MESSAGE

­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­That the church is the body of Christ on earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit and exists to proclaim by word and deed the message that saves the lost and encourages the saved. (Ephesians 4:1-16)

JESUS WILL RETURN AS KING

­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­That Jesus will one day return and reign forever as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
