Salvation
We believe that Jesus suffered for our sins, was crucified, died, buried, and rose again to restore us to the Father. We believe salvation is the gift of God by grace alone and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and that this faith is manifested in works pleasing to God.
Baptism
Baptism is an important outward sign of the decision we have made to turn from our sins and pursue a life of salvation in Jesus Christ. We believe in water baptism by immersion in the Name of the Eternal Godhead.
