About Us
  • We are a body of believers committed to knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We seek to grow in the knowledge of Him and His will for our lives. It is our desire to live a life that is pleasing to God, bearing fruit for His Kingdom.
  • We are not a denominational church, nor are we opposed to denominations as such, only their over-emphasis of doctrinal differences that have led to the division of the body of Christ.
  • We believe that the only true basis of Christian fellowship is His (Agape) love, which is greater than any differences we possess and without which we have no right to claim to be Christians.

Below are a few things that we believe about the Worship of God

  • We Believe: worship of God should be Spiritual. Therefore: We remain flexible and yielded to the Holy Spirit to direct our worship
  • We Believe: worship of God should be Inspirational. Therefore: We give a great place to music in our worship
  • We Believe: worship of God should be Intelligent. Therefore: Our services are designed with great emphasis upon teaching of the  Word of God that He might instruct us how He should be worshiped
  • We Believe: worship of God is Fruitful. Therefore: We look for His Love in our lives as the supreme manifestation that we have truly been worshiping Him.

Statement of Faith

  1. We believe in the Bible as the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God.

  2. We believe in one God eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

  3. We believe in Jesus Christ, His deity, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

  4. We believe in the Holy Spirit whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life. We further believe the power and gifts of the Holy Spirit are available to believers today.

  5. We believe in salvation for lost and sinful man as the only way to come into a relationship with God made possible through repentance from sin, acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit.

  6. We believe in water baptism and the regular taking of communion as important scriptural practices of the early church that we continue to uphold today. However, we do not believe either of these practices is essential for salvation but serve as a demonstration of our living faith in Jesus Christ.

  7. We believe in the resurrection of life for those who are saved and the resurrection of damnation for those who choose to remain lost.
