What We Believe

We affirm one God, existing eternally in three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Holy Spirit, and God the Son, known as the Trinity.

We believe in Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of God, pre-existent and eternal, fully divine and fully human. Born of the virgin Mary, He lived a sinless life as the God-man.

The Holy Spirit, as God Himself, takes residence in believers upon salvation.

We hold to the conviction that Jesus Christ’s sacrificial death atoned for the sins of humanity, offering salvation to all who believe. His blood sacrifice fully satisfied the righteous demands of God.

Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion – it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.

Billy Graham

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.

C. S. Lewis

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
