Sunday’s (11 AM ) is our time to collectively join hands and hearts in adoration & reverence (prayer, reading scripture, singing of psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, giving of our financial resources, a proclamation of the word of God) to God.

Gathering with a church encourages believers to love others and do good deeds. A church is the main venue for using your spiritual gifts, and it is your involvement that is evidence of your transformation.

What We Believe
Bible
We believe the bible, both Old and New Testament to be the inspired word of God (2 Tim 3:16). This means the writers of the original text were guided by the Holy Ghost (2 Pet. 1:21). I believe that the bible is the true word of God.
God
We believe in one God (Due. 4:6), Who manifest Himself in three persons (I John 5:7) God the Father, Who is the creator of the world (Genesis 1:1). God the Son, Who was born of a virgin (Matt.1:18) and came to take the place for our sins (John 3:16; I John 2:2, 4:10) God the Holy Spirit, Who indwells in us and comforts us. He is with the believer at all times (2 Cor. 3:4; John 14:16,27).
Satan
We believe Satan is a person. He is a tempter and the cause of the fall of man (Gen 3:4, Job 1:6-12). For him was prepared hell and all those who do not accept Jesus as their Savior will spend eternity in hell (I Cor. 7:5; Rev, 20:10).
Fall of Man
We believe in the fall of man (Gen. 3). That man was originally created perfect but fell into sin. Therefore every human has a sinful nature except those born again by the Holy Spirit (John 3:3).
Atonement for Sin
We believe in the sacrificial death of Jesus as a replacement for our sins. I believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus showing His victory over sin and His ascension into heaven (John. 1:1-3,14; 3:16; Acts 1; 1John 2:2).
Salvation
We believe that salvation is a gift freely given by God. It cannot be acquired by works or how good you have been. It is gained by repentance of sin and acceptance of Jesus as your Savior. All who do are sealed for eternity (John 10:28; Acts 16:30-33; Romans 10:9,10; Eph. 1:7,13,14; 2:8,9).
Church
We believe that the church is the community of saved believers. That every believer in Jesus needs to be connected to a local church where they can worship, fellowship, learn grow and serve (Hebrew 10:25; I John 1:7).
