Purpose of this Organization
The purpose of this organization shall be to spread the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ through the preaching and teaching of the Bible, to bring the unsaved into a personal experience of the saving grace of Christ, to build up believers in the holy faith once delivered, the world-wide proclamation of God's saving grace, and to cultivate Christian union upon the basis of the Word of God.
Our Vision Statement
We are a Biblically Christ-centered family, utilizing our Spiritual Gifts to lovingly build each other up and evangelize our neighbors.

This We Believe:
1. THE BIBLE: Inspired by God, originally without error, is the final authority in faith and practice.
2. ETERNAL GODHEAD: That there is one true God, eternally existing in three persons, Father Son and Holy Spirit.
3. JESUS CHRIST: Is God incarnate, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, completely God and completely man.
4. HOLY SPIRIT: That He convicts, regenerates, seals, indwells, gifts, teaches, and fills the believer.
5. MANKIND: That man is created in the image of God but by disobedience is now a condemned sinner in need of salvation.
6. SALVATION: Is a gift of God's grace, received through one's faith in the Person and work of Jesus Christ.
7. ETERNAL SECURITY: Once made children of God by adoption and grace, we shall never cease to be His children and become children of the devil.
8. CHURCH: Community of believers called out by God to worship Him and fulfill His revealed will.
9. ORDINANCES: That there are two: the Lord's Supper and Believer's Baptism by immersion.
10. SECOND COMING: That Jesus Christ will return visibly and personally to receive the Church and to establish His kingdom on earth.
11. ETERNITY: That believers will be resurrected unto glory of life eternal, and the unsaved to conscious eternal damnation.
