What We Believe

We are a local body of believers that worship God the Father who is Creator of all things, and through His son the Lord Jesus Christ we have a gateway into eternal life through His death on Calvary. We believe that Jesus Christ died and arose from the dead, and one day will return in all of his glory. We believe in the person of the Holy Spirit, it is through the Holy Spirit that we have a connection to God. We believe that the word of God is perfect, inspired, and infallible; this is our guidebook for life. We believe that all must have a personal relationship with Christ through Salvation. The bible teaches that we have all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. Christ desires no one to go to Hell, He desires that all may come to Him and have a full and abundant life. If you desire a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus, please contact our offices at 423-587-4901 and we will be happy to introduce you to our Savior Jesus Christ.
