(Matthew 3:16, John 1:1-4,1 Timothy 3:16)

We believe that Jesus Christ was fully God and fully man, that He was born of the virgin Mary, that His miracles were real and authentic, that His death on the cross was the perfect and proper atonement for our sin, that his resurrection was physical and actual, and that He ascended bodily into heaven to take His place at the right hand of the Father in continual intercession for those who believe in Him, that He will visibly return for His Bride (the church) and that He will reign literally and bodily as eternal King in fulfillment of the Scriptures

(Matthew 1:18, John 1:1, 1 Peter 3:18, Hebrews 7:25, Matthew 26:64, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)

We believe that the local church is the place where those who are saved are encouraged and instructed in their faith, challenged to live godly and obedient lives, and are given opportunity to serve God with their gifts and abilities.
