What We Believe
We believe we should
“Love the Lord (our) God with all (our) heart, and with all (our) soul, and with all (our) mind,”
Matthew 22:37
and
​“The entire law is summed up in one command: Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Galatians 5:14
We know and recognize that Jesus Christ is the eternal and only Son of God. He died on the cross as the perfect sacrifice, paying the penalty for all our sins, and then rose from the grave.
It is through faith alone in Jesus Christ that we have received the free gift of salvation and eternal life. We are saved by grace, not works, “that no one should boast.”
We trust the Bible is accurate, reliable, and the Word of God.
(Luke 5:20-24; John 1:1-18; John 3:15-21; John 14:1-15; Ephesians 2; 1 John)
