What We Believe....
What does it really mean to be a Christian?
The name "Christian" means "one who belongs to Christ". Becoming a Christian begins with a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. There is a scriptural pattern that we encourage people to follow.
| Belief: An intellectual, emotional and spiritual acceptance of Jesus as God's Son and our "Lord". Faith is vital. (Hebrews 11:6) | Repentance: A change from living our way to living God's way. We experience genuine sorrow for sin and we yield our will to Jesus. (2 Corinthians 7:10; Acts 2:38) |
| Confession of Faith: A public pledge of faith in Jesus Christ. (Matthew 16:16; 1 Timothy 6:12) | Baptism (Immersion): As an act of obedience that identifies us with Christ's death, burial and resurrection. (Acts 2:38; Romans 6:3-5) |
| Faithful Christian Living: A life commited to growing in faith and obedience to Jesus and the "Word of God". | Communion: The "Lord's Super" is provided each Sunday as an opportunity for all believers to "examine themselves" before God and to honor the sacrifice of Jesus. (Matthew 26:26-28; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 |
