-God sent Jesus Christ into the world to save sinners. (Isaiah 53:1-6; John 3:16; Romans 5:8; Ephesians 1:3-6).

What We believe About Jesus Christ:
-Jesus Christ in the flesh was both God and man.

What we believe about salvation:
-Man's relationship with God has been broken by sin.
-We can be restored to a relationship with God only through the blood of Jesus Christ.
-This restored relationship is based on God's grace, not our efforts.
-God invites us to accept His gift of grace through faith in and an obedience to Jesus Christ.
-Visible response of our faith in Jesus Christ are a repentant life and Biblical baptism.
