Mission Statement
(Statement of Faith)

We believe the Holy Scriptures are the word of God and only rule of faith and practice.

We believe they clearly teach the sinfulness of man, a righteous retribution for sin, and salvation through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and the duty of believers to be baptized by immersion in water, thus imitating Christ's example and setting forth the holy symbol of his burial and resurrection.

Covenant

Having accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal savior and having been baptized on profession of faith, we covenant with each other as a family of God:

To share each other's joys and bear each other's sorrows;
To continue in prayer, always giving thanks;
To support the ministry of our church by our participation;
To contribute our resources and ourselves to the spread of the gospel here and around the world;
To provide spiritual nurture and Christian education for all who come under our watchcare;
To work toward the goal of salvation for all and the establishment of the Kingdom of God;
To trust in the Lord; and
To be faithful in our discipleship, by the grace of God.

Early Spring.
