God is one God who exists eternally in the three persons of the Trinity: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each person is of the same divine essence and co-equal with the others. The persons are distinct, yet one in being.
The Bible is the word of God written by men who were moved by the Holy Spirit to write down exactly what God wanted to communicate to us. Since the Bible is God’s Word, it is our final authority.
Jesus Christ is God in the flesh. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross of Calvary, was buried for three days, rose again, and ascended up to sit at the Father’s right hand. His shed blood washes away all sins for those who place their faith in him.
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God. He imparts new spiritual life to the spiritually dead who place their faith in Christ. He indwells believers, illumines and teaches the truth, imparts gifts to serve the church, and enables believers to live a life pleasing to God.
Mankind was created by God to live in relationship with him. But Adam and Eve chose to rebel against God and brought the curse of God on the whole human race resulting in physical death and loss of fellowship with God.
Salvation is a gracious gift from God received by trusting in Jesus’ payment for sin and in his power to save. Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross paid our debt of sin and made it possible for us to be reconciled back to God.
The Church is a called out assembly of immersed believers who gather together to worship, practice the ordinances, fellowship, and carry out the Great Commission.
The Sign Gifts have ceased with the completion of the canon of Scripture. The revelatory gifts were attached to the apostolic office and therefore died out in the first century.
The End Times will consist of the rapture of the church, the Great Tribulation, Christ’s Second Coming, and millennial reign. The final destiny of believers is eternal life in heaven with God and, for unbelievers, eternal, conscious torment in the lake of fire.
The Bible is our sole authority for all matters of faith and practice.
The church is comprised of a saved and immersed church membership.
The local church is autonomous.
Each true believer is a member of the priesthood, and can go directly to the Father through Jesus Christ apart from any other human intermediary.
Each believer has soul liberty, and can believe and worship according to his or her own conscience, being accountable to God alone.
The only two ordinances of the church are immersion and the Lord’s Supper. They are symbolic only and confer no saving grace.
The church and state are wholly separate entities.
The church and individual believers practice separation from doctrinal error and worldliness.
You will find us a welcoming and family-friendly church. We love to fellowship together both during and outside our scheduled meetings.
On Sundays, we hold separate child and adult Bible classes at 10AM, and combined worship at 11AM. A creche is available for infants and young children during the main worship hour.
We also gather mid-week on Wednesdays for an interactive Bible study at 6PM.
We love to share together in our mutual love for the Saviour, sing hymns, and study and hear the Word. We are striving together to grow in our likeness of Jesus Christ, the One who gave Himself for us that He might restore us to God.
Please drop in for a visit. You are most welcome!
