We believe that Jesus Christ came as God's own Son to show us life and life more abundantly. We believe that Jesus died on the cross to pay the price for all of our sins in order that we could have a relationship with God. We have found God to be the answer to the hunger of our hearts and the answer to every question we face in our lives. The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
We believe that there is one true, holy God, eternally existing in three persons-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit-each of Whom possesses equally all the attributes of deity and the characteristics of personality. In the beginning God created out of nothing the world and all things therein, thus manifesting the glory of His power, wisdom, and goodness. By His sovereign power He continues to sustain His creation. By His providence He is operating throughout history to fulfill His redemptive purposes.
We believe that in the Bible God defined marriage as the union of one man and one woman, together for life until death do them part. We believe that in the sacred marital relationship between a husband and wife, we find a beautiful earthly picture of Christ's self sacrificing, covenant-keeping, faithful love for His Bride, the Church.
We believe that each life is a gift from God and therefore is valuable. Because of this, we believe it is important to treat all individuals with respect and kindness, regardless of their personal beliefs.
