What We Believe

All Authority on Earth

Christ has all authority on Earth and will return and reign forever.

That power is the same as the mighty strength He exerted when He raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

Ephesians 1:19a-21 (NIV)

Saved by Grace through Faith

We are saved by grace and through faith in Jesus Christ, and God rewards those who earnestly seek Him

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

All have Sinned

All have sinned and are separated from God, but all can be saved.

Romans 3:22-24 (NIV)

Salvation Available to All

We are saved by grace and salvation is available to all who put their faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior, who repent of their sins, who confess their faith, and who are baptized.

Obey His Teachings
