Who is God 

God:  God is the Creator and Sustainer of the universe. He is the One true living God who eternally exists in three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. We believe God is all knowing, all powerful and present everywhere. 

Genesis 1:1, 1 Chronicles 29:11-13, Psalm 139:1-4, Colossians 1:16; Hebrews 4:13 

Who is Jesus Christ? 

 Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God, who was born of a virgin and lived a sinless life. He was fully human and fully divine. He died on the cross for the sins of the world. He was buried and was raised by God on the third day. His resurrection conquered death and sin. Following His resurrection, He ascended back to heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father. He reigns as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. We believe He is coming again. 

Matthew 1:21-23, 16:16, John 1:1, 14. 14:1-10; 1 Corinthians 15:54-57; Colossians 1:15-20, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

Who is the Holy Spirit 

The Holy Spirit is a divine part of the trinity. He dwells within those who have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior and have been baptized into Christ. He is God’s gift to Christians, providing them with guidance, intercession and assurance in salvation and that they are God’s child. It also convicts us of sin. 

John 14:15-31, 16:1-15, Acts 2:38, Romans 8:14-17, Ephesians 1:13-14

Do we believe in the Bible?

 The Bible is God’s Holy Word. It is inerrant and infallible and has been given to us by the inspiration of God. In the Bible, God communicates His divine will and message to all men. It is living and active. It remains one of the true and final authorities in our life. 

Isaiah 55:10-11, Romans 1:16-17, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Hebrews 4:12, 2 Peter 1:20-21

What do we believe about humanity? 

Humanity: All men have been created in the image of God. God values all human life. This means that all men have been given by God the capacity for interpersonal relationships . In his image we possess dignity, meaning, and worth. Being created in God’s image also gives us the freewill to choose between doing what is good and what is evil. By choosing what is evil we sin against God and our sin separates us from Him. 

Genesis 1:27; Psalm 139-13-16; Isaiah 59:1-2; Acts 17:24-29

What all is involved with salvation?

Salvation: All men have sinned: but it is by God’s grace that we can be saved through faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus and His grace are the sources of our salvation. To be saved we must put our faith/trust in Him, repent of our sins, confess our faith, and be baptized by immersion into Him and continue from that point on living a faithful life for Jesus as a part of His church for the rest of our lives aiming to fulfill his Great Commission until we pass away or Christ comes back.

John 3:16-17, Matthew 28:19-20 Acts 2:38, Romans 3:23, 6:1-4, 10:9, Galatians 3:26-29, Ephesians 2:8-10; Hebrews 6:1-8 

What about eternity?

Eternity: Every person is destined to face death; and upon death or the return of Christ, all men will be assigned to spend eternity in either heaven or hell.  Those who have made Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior will spend eternity in heaven in the presence of God; but those who refuse to believe in Jesus will spend eternity in hell, separated from God. 

Acts 17:30-31; 2 Corinthians 5:10; 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, Hebrews 9:27; 10:31 Revelation 20:15

What does your church do about Communion or the Lord's Supper?

We observe the Lord’s Supper in every week in accordance with the pattern of the New Testament.  Every Lord’s Day, we gather as a body of believers to commemorate the death of our Savior Jesus Christ. All believers are welcome to participate in observing Communion. 

Matthew 26:26-29, Acts 20:, 1 Corinthians 11:23-29

What do you believe about the Church?

The Church is the Body of Christ, with Christ as the Head.  It consists of every individual who has accepted Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior and has been baptized into Christ.  As the Body of Christ, we wear the name Christian; and all Christians have the responsibility to reach the lost with the Good News of the Gospel.  Because Christ is the Head of the Church, we as the Body are called to reflect the very image of Christ in all we say and do. 

Matthew 5:14-16, 28:18-20; Acts 11:26; 1 Corinthians 12:12-14, Ephesians 5:29-30 

What is different about the "Church of Christ"

The Church of Christ stems from a movement that developed in the 18th century but officially united in 1832. The Restoration Movement developed from several independent strands of religious revival that idealized early Christianity. Two groups which independently developed similar approaches to the Christian faith were particularly important. The first, led by Barton W. Stone, began at Cane Ridge, Kentucky, and identified as "Christians". The second began in western Pennsylvania and Virginia (now West Virginia) and was led by Thomas Campbell and his son, Alexander Campbell, both educated in Scotland; they eventually used the name "Disciples of Christ". Both groups sought to restore the Christian church based on visible patterns set forth in the New Testament, and both believed that creeds kept Christianity divided. In 1832 they joined in fellowship with a handshake.

Among other things, they were united in the belief that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; that Christians should celebrate the Lord's Supper on the first day of each week; and that baptism of adult believers was essential for salvation by immersion in water. Both groups promoted a return to the purposes of the 1st-century churches as described in the New Testament. 

Some mottos that define us are as followed:

• "Where the Scriptures speak, we speak; where the Scriptures are silent, we are silent."

• "We are Christians only, but not the only Christians."

• "In essentials, unity; in opinions, liberty; in all things love."

• "No creed but Christ, no book but the Bible, no law but love, no name but the divine."

• "Do Bible things in Bible ways."

• "Call Bible things by Bible names."
