What We Believe

We joyfully hold a historic, orthodox, evangelical faith, affirming that we are made right with God, by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, to the glory of God alone as proclaimed in the Scriptures alone. As a church we "contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints" (Jude 3).

Below is a very brief summary of what we believe:

  1. The Scriptures, that the Bible is the inerrant and authoritative Word of God.
  2. God, that the one true and living God exists coequally and coeternally in three Persons; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
  3. Humanity, that we were created in the image of God, male and female, but because of Adam’s sin the entire race has fallen and is in need of redemption.
  4. Salvation, that God offers salvation by grace through faith in the person and work of Christ.
  5. God’s Purpose of Grace, that God is the one who initiates and completes the work of salvation.
  6. The Church, that we gather as a local congregation of baptized believers, and we are members of the Body of Christ.
  7. Baptism and the Lord’s Supper, that we celebrate the ordinances as symbolic acts of obedience to our Lord.​
  8. The Last Things, that God, in his own time and in his own way, will bring the world to its appropriate end; Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly in glory to the earth; the dead will be raised, and Christ will judge all people in righteousness.
