Salvation

We believe that man is born with a fallen nature, and is, therefore, inclined to evil. We believe that Jesus Christ, by His suffering and death, made a full atonement for the sins of mankind; and that salvation is available to all who repent and believe.

Sanctification

We believe that sanctification is the continual process by which God transforms the believer into the likeness of Christ.

Baptism

We believe baptism is a means of grace, whereby the believer declares their faith in Jesus Christ and their acceptance of His sacrificial atonement. Baptism does not impart salvation, but is an act of obedience in faith.

Family

We believe that some are called to remain single, while others are called to marriage.
We believe that marriage is between one man and one woman, as outlined in the book of Genesis and affirmed throughout Scripture.

Communion

We believe Holy Communion is a means of grace in which Christ is present by the Spirit. All who believe in Christ and have repented of their sins are welcome to participate.
