We Practice What We Preach
At our core, we are a community of believers who hold firm to the foundational truths of Christianity. We believe in the one true God, manifest in three persons as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as revealed in 1 John 5:7-8, Matt. 3:16, 2 Cor. 13:14, Matt. 28:19, Phil. 2:11, and John 3:15. Guided by the inspired Word of God, the Bible, we find our ultimate authority for faith and conduct in 2 Tim 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20-21, John 5:39, and John 1:1.
At the heart of our mission lies the great commission to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every nation, as exemplified in Matt 28:19-20, Acts 1:8, Mark 16:15, and John 20:21. We eagerly await the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, standing firm in our belief, drawing hope from John 14:3 and Hebrews 9:28. Throughout our journey, we celebrate the sacraments of baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper, symbolizing our commitment to Christ and His sacrifice. These two ordinances, as found in Matt 26:26-29, John 3:5, Romans 6:4, Luke 22:19-20, Acts 8:38-39, and 1 Cor 11:23, are moments of profound significance in our spiritual growth. At our church, we welcome all who seek a meaningful relationship with God and a community that exemplifies love, faith, and service. Join us as we continue to grow in Christ and extend His love to a world in need.
