About Us

What we believe, and why we're here.

Pastor Gary preaching from the Bible

Our Mission

To glorify God through worship, build up His people, and carry the gospel to our neighbors and the nations.

As an evangelical, independent, Baptist congregation, we exist to worship God, disciple believers, care for one another, and proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ — at home and around the world.

Articles of Faith

What we hold to be true.

The Trinity

One God, eternally existing in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Deuteronomy 6:4 · Matthew 28:19 · II Corinthians 13:14

The Scriptures

The Bible is God's inspired, inerrant Word and our only rule for faith and practice.

II Timothy 3:16–17 · II Peter 1:21 · Isaiah 8:20

Salvation

Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ's death and resurrection alone — and secure forever.

John 14:6 · Acts 4:12 · Romans 4:5

The Church

A local church is a body of baptized believers gathered to worship, disciple, and reach the world together.

I Corinthians 12:12–13, 27 · Ephesians 1:22–23

Ordinances

We observe believer's baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper as Christ commanded.

Matthew 28:19–20 · I Corinthians 11:23–26

Christ's Return

Jesus is coming again — a living hope that shapes how we live today.

I Thessalonians 4:13–18 · Revelation 20:1–6

This is a summary of our full doctrinal statement and church constitution, available in detail on request.
