Beliefs

  • We believe salvation from sin, death, and hell is a gift received by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Nothing in regard to a person’s salvation is by their own effort; it is totally a work of God.
  • We believe God the Father rules as sovereign King over the universe; He owns everything and is the rightful ruler of everyone.
  • We believe that Christ Jesus is the Son of God and is the living head of the Church.
  • We believe the Holy Spirit is the living and active third Person of the Triune Godhead.
