Purpose

The purpose of the church is to maintain and encourage the worship of

God Almighty by adhering to the Holy Scriptures,

both the Old and New Testaments which are called canonical

and recognized as the true and proper Word of God and the ultimate rule and

measure of the whole Christian faith and doctrine;

to edify and encourage believers and to bring the lost to him.

We believe there is one God who is Creator and Redeemer. He exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1, John 1:1-3, and John 14:25) God the Father is Lord of heaven and earth. He seeks worshipers to worship Him in spirit and in truth. Out of His love, He gave His only begotten Son to redeem the world. (John 3:16 and John 4:24).

God the Son, Jesus Christ our Lord was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He brought the good news of the Kingdom of God in His preaching, teaching, and healing fulfilling the Law and the Word of the Prophets. He died for our sins, was raised from the dead, and set us free from the law of sin and death. He ascended into heaven, where He sits in authority at God's right hand, and reigns as the Head of His Body, the Church. His return is certain and imminent, at which time He will judge the living and the dead. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and Matthew 25:31-46).

God the Holy Spirit is the effective agent in our conviction of sin, regeneration and sanctification. The Holy Spirit is the church's life and witnessing power. He equips the individual and the church for practical, efficient, and joyous proclamation of the Gospel message. By His gifts, He enables the believer to build and increase the church, achieving the common good to glorify the Son.  (1 Corinthians 12:7-11 and 1 Corinthians 2: 9-13)

In Jesus Christ, we find the only way to salvation. This salvation, a free gift of God's grace, is received by faith, through believing in His death and resurrection. God is faithful to forgive when we confess and repent of our sins and acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord. We acknowledge the need for each believer to make this Christian faith their own. (Romans 3:23, Romans 5:8-11, Romans 6:23, and Philippians 2:9-11.

We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God. We affirm the faith of the historic Church as expressed in the Apostle's and Nicene Creeds and as expressed in the Heidelberg Catechism. (Revelation 22:18-19)

We believe in the power of individual and corporate prayer, as exemplified by our Lord Jesus Christ. (Matthew 6:5-13 and Matthew 26:40-41)

We believe that marriage as constituted in the Scriptures is a union between one man and one woman only. We believe in fidelity in marriage and chastity in singleness, as ordained by God. (Genesis 2:18-24)

We believe in the sanctity of human life. (Psalms 139:13-16 and Isaiah 44:24)

We recognize the Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper. (1 Corinthians 11:23-26 and  Matthew 28:18-20
