What We Believe
- We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
- We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection in His ascension to the right of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
- We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
- We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Our History
Congregationalism came to America on the Mayflower to reestablish a church on the New Testament pattern – a fellowship of persons who freely choose to be a follower of Jesus Christ. The earliest Christian believed that wherever two or three were gathered together in the Name and Spirit of Jesus Christ, that Christ would be there with them. The Mayflower Pilgrims also gathered together freely, committing themselves to worship and serve together as the Spirit of God moved them. In matters of faith, they accepted full responsibility for their personal relationship with God in Christ and allowed no outside authority to dictate how they should believe. worship or serve God. Congregationalists expect each member to have a personal relationship with God as the motivating force in his or her life. The purpose of the Church is to help us grow in our relationship with God and our expression of God’s love in our lives.
