About Us

 We believe
  • that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God and is our rule and guide for life.
  • in the act of salvation: that we must believe and accept Christ's sacrifice for our sin and dedicate our lives to His lordship, making us part of His family.
  • that our relationship with God is based on salvation through Christ, not on man-made, legalistic rules.
  • in two ordinances of the Church: water baptism and the Lord's Supper.
  • that we are to lead others to Christ and help them grow in their faith.
  • that God's grace should be reflected by His family.
