We believe that the whole universe was created by God.  We believe He created mankind in His image to have a deep and loving relationship with.  We believe that sin has separated mankind from that relationship and that sin deserves God's judgment and punishment.  But instead of His wrath, He desired to show mercy and grace because of His love for humanity.   This love was shown to us when He crushed His one and only Son, Jesus, on the cross for our sin. We believe that those who put their faith in Christ and His sacrifice are forgiven of sin, receive the Holy Spirit, and have eternal life. We know this to be certain because Jesus has risen from the dead conquering sin and death giving everlasting life to all who hope in Him. We believe He is the only way of salvation.
