We believe that the Gospel of Jesus Christ as revealed to us in the Bible is the only way to a right relationship with God. The Gospel is the good news of what God has done in reconciling sinners to Himself through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ. We believe that a sinner is saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, revealed through Scripture alone. We believe that the means by which sinners are saved is through repentance of sin and saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
