The most important thing about a man is what he believes about God.

A.W. Tozer


We believe there is one God.

(Deuteronomy 6:4, Ephesians 4:5) He is sometimes called Jehovah or Yahweh (the Hebrew word for God). He is revealed in three persons: God (the Father), Jesus (the Son), and the Holy Spirit. The three are commonly referred to as the Trinity (Matthew 28:19).


We believe salvation is available to anyone who believes in Jesus.

Jesus is God's Son. He has always existed. Because of sin, mankind was doomed to die (Romans 6:23). Jesus came to earth as a baby, born to a virgin girl named Mary. He lived a life without sin, and willingly died for us (John 3:16). Three days later He rose from the dead, He ascended to Heaven, and He is alive today. We can know Him personally by believing in Him and asking Him to forgive our sins.


We believe the Bible is the Word of God and the ultimate source of truth.

The Bible was written over a period of about 1500 years, in three languages (Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic) by 40 different writers, yet it contains an incredibly accurate historical record and an impeccably consistent presentation of Spiritual truth. This is only possible because the words of the Bible were inspired by the Holy Spirit. The greatest evidence of the authority of the Bible is not in historical facts or its consistency. It is found in the obvious result of applying the truths of the Bible to our every day lives (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:21).


We believe God still works in our lives in incredible ways.

The Holy Spirit is still at work in the lives of believers today. In fact, many of the miracles of the Bible still happen and are documented every day. The healing of diseases, the restoration of broken lives, even prophesies and supernatural occurrences, all these things still happen. The reason these things still take place is because the Holy Spirit is still at work in the lives of believers (James 5:14-16; John 14:12).
