WHO WE ARE
WE ARE DISCIPLES OF JESUS. WE BELIEVE THE BIBLE. WE CARE ABOUT OTHERS.
We are a church – a Christian congregation – that believes the Bible has the answers for today’s needs. We believe in the full authority of Scripture as the inspired and inerrant Word of God. We believe that there is only one God, who sent his Son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins and be resurrected to eternal life so that we can be reconciled to God and live forever with Him. We believe there is no other way to obtain salvation or forgiveness for sins, other than through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Our goal is to proclaim this Good News – the Gospel of Jesus Christ – to one another, our community, and the world. We are dedicated to gathering together and caring for one another, and to bringing God glory in all that we say and do.
