What We Believe:

• The Bible is the inspired Word of God - "a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path."       2 Timothy 3:16
• Every person has worth as a creation of God, however "...all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."  Romans 3:23
• Forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life are available to those who trust Christ as Savior and Lord.  John 3:16
• Those accepting Christ should repent of sin, confess their faith and be baptized into Christ.  Romans 10:9 and Acts 2:38
• The Church is the body of Christ on earth and exists to save the lost and edify the saved.  Ephesians 4:1-16
• Jesus Christ will one day return to earth and reign forever as King of kings and Lord of lords.  1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
