We believe that the deepest need and greatest joy of every person is fully realized in knowing Jesus Christ as Savior. This is the heartbeat of our church that motivates everything we do.

“Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”

Luke 2:10–11 

God is the source of all goodness, beauty, and life. He created everything—including you. And He made you for one purpose: to know Him and find your deepest joy in Him.

But something went terribly wrong. The first man, Adam, chose to distrust God and seek happiness apart from Him. And ever since, every one of us has followed that same path. We all look for joy in things that were never meant to satisfy us.

This is why our world is broken. Evil, suffering, and death are everywhere. We try to fix it through progress, education, or reform—but the real problem isn’t just “out there.” The problem is in us. Our hearts are turned away from the God who is our life and joy.

Because God is good and just, He cannot ignore this injustice. One day, we will all stand before Him. And the judgment we face is this: to be separated from Him forever. But to be separated from God is to be separated from everything good—from life, from beauty, from joy.

But God, in His mercy, made a way to rescue us. He sent His Son, Jesus, into the world. Jesus lived the life we failed to live—perfectly trusting and obeying God. And though He did not deserve to die, He went to the cross willingly… taking the judgment we deserve.

But death could not hold Him. Three days later, God raised Jesus from the dead—proving that His payment was enough.

Now, Jesus offers a free gift to all people: forgiveness, new life, and a restored relationship with God. When you trust in Him:

His death counts as your death
His life becomes your life

And you are brought back to the God you were made for—where true and lasting joy is finally found.

So now, each of us has a choice:

  1. Continue trying to find life and joy apart from God—and face separation from Him forever

  2. Or trust in Jesus—and be forgiven, restored, and brought into the fullness of life with God

What will you choose? If you’ve decided to trust Jesus as your Savior, we would love to know about it and celebrate with you! We’d also love to help you take your next step in following Him.

Statements of Faith

  • We believe that the Scriptures consisting of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God, inerrant in the original writings, complete as the revelation of God's will for salvation, and the supreme and final authority in all matters to which they speak. (Matthew 4:4; 24:35; II Timothy 3:15-17; Titus 1:2; II Peter 1:19-21)

  • We believe in one God, creator and sustainer of all things, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; that these are equal in every divine perfection and that they execute distinct but harmonious offices in the work of creation, providence, and redemption. (Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 3:13-17; 28:19; Ephesians 1:3-14; Colossians 1:16-17)

  • We believe in God the Father, an infinite personal Spirit, perfect in holiness, sovereignty, wisdom, power, and love. We believe He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer, and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ. (Isaiah 6:3; Malachi 3:6; Matthew 7:7-12; John 3:16; 4:24; 5:17-26; Ephesians 1:3-6; I Timothy 1:17;6:16)

  • We believe that Jesus Christ is God's eternal Son, and has precisely the same nature, attributes and perfections as God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. We believe further that He is not only God, but true man, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. We also believe in His sinless life, His substitutionary atonement, His bodily resurrection from the dead, His ascension into heaven, His priestly intercession on behalf of His people, and His personal, visible return from heaven. (Matthew 1:18-23; John 1:1-18; 8:34,46,58; II Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 2:5-11; Colossians 2:9; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; I Timothy 2:5; Hebrews 1; 2:14; 4:15; 7:26-28)

  • We believe in the Holy Spirit, His personality, and His work in regeneration, sanctification, and preservation. His ministry is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and to implement Christ's work of redeeming the lost and empowering the believer for godly living and service. (Genesis 1:2; Matthew 1:18; 28:19,20; John 3:5; 14:16-18; 16:5-15; Acts 1:8; II Corinthians 3:17,18; Titus 3:5,6)

  • We believe that God created man, male and female, in the image of God and free from sin. We further believe man is a sinner by nature and choice and is therefore spiritually dead. We also believe that those who repent of sin and trust Jesus Christ as Savior are regenerated by the Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:27; 2:16-3:24; Isaiah. 53:6; John 8:44; Acts 20:21; Romans. 1:18-33; 3:23; 5:12-21; Ephesians 2:1-3)

  • We believe in salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. We further believe that this salvation is based upon the sovereign grace of God, was purchased by Christ on the cross, and is received by man through faith, apart from any human merit, works, or ritual. We further believe salvation results in righteous living, good works, and proper social concern. (Isaiah 52:12-53; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:24;25; 5:8; Ephesians 2:8-10; James 1:27; I Peter 3:18)

  • We believe that the Church is the spiritual body of which Christ is the head. We believe that the true Church is composed of all persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit. We believe that this body expresses itself in local assemblies whose members have been immersed upon a credible confession of faith and have associated themselves for worship, for instruction, for evangelism and for service. We believe the ordinances of the local church are believer's baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper. We also believe in the interdependence of local churches and the mutual submission of believers to each other in love. (Matthew 16:18; 28:19-20; Acts 2:41-47; I Corinthians. 4:17; 11:23-26; 12; Ephesians. 4:11-16; 5:21; Colossians. 1:18; Hebrews 10:25; I Timothy 3)

  • We believe that each local church is self governing in function and must be free from interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority. We further believe that every human being is directly responsible to God in matters of faith and life, and that each should be free to worship God according to the dictates of his conscience. (Matthew 22:21; Acts 5:29; Romans. 13:1-7; 14:4,10,12)

  • We believe that the supreme task of every believer is to glorify God in his life; that his conduct should be blameless before the world; that he should be a faithful steward of his possessions; and that he should seek to realize for himself the full stature of maturity in Christ. (I Corinthians. 4:2; 10:31; II Corinthians. 5:9; Ephesians. 4:13, 17-32; I John 2:1-17; II Peter 3:14)

  • We believe that God has established marriage as a lifelong, exclusive relationship between one biological man and one biological woman and that all intimate sexual activity outside the marriage relationship, whether heterosexual, homosexual, or otherwise, is immoral and therefore sin (Gen. 2:24-25; Ex. 20:14, 17, 22:19; Lev. 18:22-23, 20:13, 15-16; Matt. 19:4-6, 9; Rom. 1:18-31; I Cor. 6:9- 10, 15-20; I Tim. 1:8-11; Jude 7). We believe that God created the human race male and female and that all conduct with the intent to adopt a gender other than one’s birth gender is immoral and therefore sin (Gen. 1:27; Deut. 22:5)

  • We believe in the bodily resurrection of the saved and the lost, the eternal existence of all men either in heaven or in hell, and in divine judgments, rewards, and punishments. (Daniel 12:2; Matthew 25:46; I Corinthians. 15:50-52; II Corinthians. 5:10; Hebrews. 9:27; Revelations 20:5,11-15)
