We don't subscribe to a formal creed. In a very real sense, "we have no creed but Christ and no book but the Bible." The twin bases of our unity are our faith in Jesus as the Christ, the Son of the Living God, and our adherence to the Bible as the inspired text for our teaching and the one sufficient constitution for governing congregational life.

So what do we believe?

* We believe that God is the Creator of our world and Sustainer and Lord of our lives.

* We believe that Jesus Christ is the one and only living Son of God and our Savior.

* We believe that the Holy Spirit is God himself, encouraging, guiding and transforming us in the way of Christ.

* We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, the only standard for faith and practice, and the only basis for Christian unity.

* We believe that a person must hear the Word of God, believe that Jesus Christ is God's only Son, confess and repent of sin, and be baptized to enter into a saving relationship with God.

* We believe in the power of prayer.

* We believe that the church exists to serve the world.
