We believe first and foremost that anyone who confesses faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and yields control of their life to Him enters into fellowship with God – for this life and the next. We believe that the Bible is inspired by God and provides us with a manual that we can base our lives upon. In a world of relativism, voicing one’s beliefs often means the end of conversation. We are quite open to listening to your perspective and hope you will come and meet us regardless of what you believe and we can discuss these things further.
