Our Core Convictions
God
Jesus Christ
The Bible
We believe in one God, eternally existing forever as the Creator and Sustainer of all things.
We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who lived a sinless life, died on the cross for the sins of humanity, and rose bodily from the grave.
We believe the Bible is God's inspired word, and that it is sufficient to teach us everything we need for salvation and a life pleasing to God.
Our Practices
Baptism
Worship
Lord's Supper
We practice full immersion in water as a sign of the believer's identification with Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. This is a covenantal act of obedience and faith, rooted in the New Testament pattern.
We worship God through prayer, the reading and preaching of His word, and singing a cappella. This is a conviction rooted in the New Testament example, honoring the early church's practice of worshiping without instruments.
We observe the Lord's Supper every week, in remembrance of Christ's body and blood. We partake of bread and cup in a spirit of humility and grace, following the pattern of the early church.
Benevolence
Evangelism
Edification
Our work is defined by service. We believe in sharing what we have so that no one among us is in need, following the early church's example of mutual support and charitable relief.
We are called to preach the gospel to every creature. We carry the same responsibility as the early church, going about preaching the word wherever we go, sharing the good news with the lost and unconverted world.
The church exists to build up its members through teaching and mutual support. We are exhorted to consider how to spur one another on toward love and good deeds, growing in Christlikeness together.
