WHAT WE
WHAT WE
We want you to know God has a purpose for you. You can find out more about God's purpose for you below.
Statement of Belief
We believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God and is the basis for any statement of faith. The church subscribes to the doctrinal statement of the Baptist Faith and Message as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention in the 1963. We band ourselves together as a body of baptized believers in Jesus Christ, personally committed to sharing the good news of salvation to lost mankind.
God loves you and offers you abundant and eternal life.
John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life."
John 10:10 - "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
People are sinful and separated from God and the life He offers.
Romans 3:23 - "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"
Romans 6:23 - "For wages of sin death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Jesus Christ is God's only provision for our sin. Through Him you can come to God and have the life He offers.
John 14:6 - "Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
1 Peter 3:18 - "For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit."
We must receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord through personal invitation.
John 1:12 - "But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God."
Revelation 3:20 - "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with Me."
