Sin
We believe that sin is failure to submit to God’s requirements by either commission or omission (James 5:17). The best Scriptural definition of sin is found in 1 John 3:4 which states that sin is a transgression of God’s law. It is also defined as missing the mark

Salvation
We believe that Jesus Christ provided salvation through his sacrificial death on the cross and by his resurrection from the dead (Romans 3:24-26). The scripture says that no one can earn salvation (Titus 3:5; Romans 4:5; 6:23; Galatians 2:16; Phil 3:9), but it is given to us grace (Ephesians 2:8-9). Salvation is deliverance from sin […]

Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. Jesus Christ, the second person of the Godhead, is coequal (John 1:1, 10:30, 17:18,), coeternal (John 1:1-2, 15, 30; 8:58-59, 17:5, 24), and consubstantial (John 1:1,14; 10:30; 14:9) to the Father.

The Partnership of Spiritual Growth

Spiritual Gifts
We believe that spiritual gifts are given to the church by the Holy Spirit for the purpose of edifying and maturing the body into the fullness of Christ (Ephesians 4:11-15) and evangelizing unbelievers (Ephesians 4:11). There is no greater representation of Christ to the world

Bible
We believe in the verbal plenary inspiration of the Bible, complete in the sixty-six canonical books of the Old and New Testaments. The Bible is God’s written revelation to man. Every word in the scriptures is breathed out by God (2 Timothy 3:16).

The Beauty of Holiness
Why is it that when we hear the command to be holy we tend to recoil? It is as if we look at it as something undesirable, or perhaps all together ugly. I know that in my own experience, I have heard sermons on holiness and walked away honestly feeling
