Core Beliefs

About the Bible
The Bible is the inerrant word of God (2 Timothy 3:16,Hebrews 1:1).Thus, man's path to God can only be found in the person of Jesus, who is God's son and man's savior (John 1:14, 14:6). The Sacred Scriptures are applicable to men and women of all races and in all times.

About Worship
The purpose of worship is to attribute praise, glory and honor to the one and only God of our salvation. God is the subject in and object of our worship (John 4:23-24). No other person or group of persons can biblically worship on behalf of another. Thus, the worshipper must individually provide worship that is acceptable to God. While each worshipper is encouraged to experience "in spirit and in truth worship," no one should assume that man's entertainment is the reason for our gathering.

About the Godhead
The Godhead consists of the persons of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Impressively, their singleness of aim, purpose and divine essence allow them to exist exclusively as one. Therefore, there is one God (Genesis1:1,26,1 Timothy 2:5,3:16) who has revealed Himself in three distinct attributes.

About the Afterlife
The privilege awaiting every man and woman who responds to the grace of God by faith in Jesus Christ is a life of eternal peace in heaven (Revelation 19:7-9, 21:3-4). The unfortunate dilemma that has separated man from fellowship with God is sin (Isaiah 59:2). The Word of God reveals that "all have sinned" (Romans 3:23) and are subject to the penalty of eternal separation from God (Romans 6:23). Christ, however, made atonement for man's sin on the cross of Calvary (Hebrews 9:11-17). Man cannot earn his salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9). A life of faith in Christ Jesus will allow man to appear in glory with the Lord(Colossians 3:4).
