We believe that the Bible is God's Word to man, Though the Bible was written by many men over a period of many years, we believe that each human author wrote under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Bible, therefore, represents to us the supernatural and authoritative revelation of God's will for mankind.

		In The Beginning... The Bible teaches that God is the creator of this world and everything in it.

The Bible teaches that God is the creator of this world and everything in it. The first man and woman sinned against God and, as the representatives for the whole human race, brought sin and death to all mankind.

God graciously provides forgiveness for sin and eternal life to those who deserve only death. This forgiveness and life God provides for man through the sacrificial death of His own Son, Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ, God the Son, became man, and kept the law of God mankind has broken. He then died an undeserved death on the cross to pay the penalty for sin that mankind's disobedience deserves. But He then rose from the grave in victory over death securing eternal life for all who believe.

This salvation from death is given to sinners as a gift from God. It is received by faith alone. There is nothing any man can do to merit God's favor. God sovereignly grants it according to His tender mercies.
