We believe that God is the creator of the universe, and has revealed His redemptive plan for humanity in the Bible, which is His authoritative Word.  To enable us to escape the penalty of sin and to be reconciled with Him, God came to this world in the form of human flesh, as Jesus Christ, and gave Himself as a sacrifice for our salvation.  We enter that covenant relationship with Christ through His death, burial, and resurrection, which is mirrored in our obedience to His plan for salvation– repentance, baptism in water, and baptism in the Spirit.  When we are transformed into a disciple of Christ by experiencing salvation, we glorify God by becoming more like Him, and by serving others with the gifts His Spirit has given us.  This process of worship, service and sanctification will reach its full expression when we live together with the Lord in the life to come!
