• We believe that there is one God, revealed in the three distinct persons of the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
• We believe that the Bible, containing both the Old and New Testaments, are the
inspired and infallible word of God.
• We believe that man was created in God’s image, but that man has turned away
from this image and is spiritually dead in his sins, unable to save himself.
• We believe that salvation can only be obtained by faith through the life,
death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
• We believe that all Christians are to be good and faithful stewards of all the
gifts that God has given them.

Our Core Values
1) We value the Scriptures as being our source for the fundamental principles of
living a godly and honorable life, and that they should be faithfully taught
and applied to the full issues of our lives.
2) We value relevancy in ministry, meaning that it is important to follow the
example of Jesus in ensuring that we present the truths of Scripture in a
manner that is understandable and applicable to the needs of our present
culture.
3) We value relationships, and believe that love for God is demonstrated
through godly love for one another.
4) We value family as a vital organism for creating and sustaining a nurturing
faith in God, and that the Church is to assist families in deepening their
devotion to Him and to each other.
5) We value grace as the means by which we develop and sustain
relationships with God, and also the means by which we develop and sustain
relationships with others. Just as we have received God’s forgiving and guiding
grace, we are to also extend it to others.
6) We value humility in recognizing and admitting our imperfections and
weaknesses, knowing that in this life we will never grow beyond our need for
grace.
7) We value teamwork, knowing that what God leads us to pursue can only be
accomplished as we work together in unity, cooperating with each other and with
His Spirit.
8) We value involvement, knowing that the church is only functioning
properly when each part of the body of Christ is engaged in service.
9) We value spiritual gifts, knowing that these are the skills and
abilities God has imparted to us in order to carry out the work of His kingdom.
Just as each believer has received some gift from God, we are responsible for
discovering, developing, and deploying these gifts.
10) We value creativity, knowing that the life God has given us is
greater than our routines, habits, and practices. While our beliefs may be traditional,
we value creative ways to express and experience those timeless truths.
Our Affiliations
Our Church is a part of the General Association of General
Baptists, an evangelical Christian denomination that holds to the belief that
Jesus Christ died for all of mankind, making salvation available to all who
believe in Him. General Baptist churches are sovereign in their church
government and worship, which allows each congregation to develop their unique
identity within the denomination. For more complete information on the General
Baptists, visit our denomination's website. Or, for a brief history and overview,
visit Wikipedia's article. Our Church is also a member
of the MOARK Association of General Baptists, a
regional gathering of local Churches within our denomination.
