What Makes us Distinct?
True Christian churches share the Lord Jesus, one faith, one baptism,
one God the Father, and the eternal Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:1-6). However, each church is as distinct as a finger print in other ways. Are we the right church for you?
We Have a Bible Focus
We emphasize expositional Bible teaching. We seek to learn and apply God's Word to each of our lives. The Bible is our source of truth and guidance.
We Believe in Christian Liberty
The Lord allows many choices to fall into the realm of personal conviction. Christians do not need to agree on everything to be the church together. Living this out is a challenge, but we believe it is essential. Our church and our church association do not take an official stand on doctrines of secondary importance, such as eternal security, the timing of the Rapture, the Millennium, and similar matters.
We are Congregational in Governance
Our church is self-governing and not controlled by a denomination or denominational hierarchy. It is led by a pastor and elders and deacons selected by the church members. The members also set the church's budget and approve all major decisions.
We are Pro-Life
Life is God-given and sacred from the moment of conception until the moment
of natural death.
We Believe in the Biblical Definition of Gender and Marriage
God created Adam and Eve, a biological male and a biological female.
We believe that Adam and Eve were real, historical persons directly created by
God in His image. Both men and women are equal bearers of God's image, equally lost in sin, and equally redeemed in Christ.
God designed men and women to complement each other in their differing,
God-given roles.
