What we believe
We meet together because we believe that the Bible is most important book that you will ever read.
We believe that Jesus is the most important person you can ever hear about.
We believe that the Christian life is not meant to be lived alone, but in community with other Christians.
We believe what the Bible teaches. Your eternal destiny - heaven or hell - depends on what you do with the message of the Bible.
Here are a few other simple truths that we believe:
GOD - There is only one God, who exists as three distinct persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit
THE BIBLE - The Bible is God’s word and is completely reliable. Although written by different authors over many centuries, because it is ultimately written by God, it has one message. It’s all about Jesus and why he came.
MEN & WOMEN - None of us have to be taught to do what is wrong. We come into this world as rebels against God, and add to our guilt each day. We don't live up to our own standards, never mind God’s. None of us could ever be good enough for heaven.
JESUS CHRIST - Jesus was and is fully God and fully man. He lived the perfect life we fail to live, and died on the cross to take the punishment that we deserve.
GETTING TO HEAVEN - The only way to get to Heaven is through repentance (turning from sin) and faith in Jesus. This is a gift from God!
LIVING AS A CHRISTIAN - As Christians it is our duty and privilege to live lives that please our Heavenly Father. Although we’re still far from perfect, the Holy Spirit is at work in us to make us more like Jesus.
