We are all sinners separated from God, incapable and unworthy of salvation. Jesus, fully divine and fully human, saved us by dying as the ultimate sacrifice taking the sins of the world, for all believe in Him (Ephesians 1:7; Romans 4:4-5 and 5:1 Isaiah 53:6; Hebrews 2:9; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 Peter 3:18; 2 Peter 3:9; 1 John 2:2)

We partake of two ordinances: believers’ baptism and The Lord’s Supper.

Baptism is an act of full immersion in water by those spiritually mature enough to understand its profound, symbolic significance of resurrection to new life in Christ.​

During the Lord’s Supper, or Communion, we share the bread and cup. They symbolize the broken body and shed blood offered by Christ. We believe the both baptismal fount and the Lord’s Table are both open to all who claim Christ as Lord. (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 8:12, 38; Romans 6:4; 1 Corinthians 11:1-2, 17-, 26)

Jesus Christ established His church during His time on earth. The church is an assembly of individuals in a covenant relationship who are called to carry out the Great Commission and witnesses for justice and wholeness within a broken society. The local church is the fundamental unit of mission. Each church is an independent, self-governing body, and no other ecclesiastical body may exercise authority over it.
