WHAT WE BELIEVE
In Doctrine
We are simply a New Testament church and enjoy fellowship with all those who pattern their worship according to the New Testament. We seek biblical authority for all that we believe and practice. We do not recognize or embrace any human creeds, discipline, catechisms, or religious traditions.(Matthew 15:7-9). However, we do embrace Christ's plea for unity in John 17:20-21. To this end, we preach the one Lord, one faith, and one baptism.(Ephesians 4:5), on which is the only basis for unity.
We believe that all religious authority belongs to Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18). Therefore, He alone has the first and last word in matters of religion. We believe that this authority extends to all of the Lord's commandments, and not just those we find convenient.
We also believe in the plan for salvation:
God's Plan of Salvation
