The Most Important Decision You'll Ever Make!

Every decision we make can impact our lives in significant ways, but only one decision can affect our ETERNITY! All of humanity lives separated from God because of sin. God in His love for us sent His Son to take the penalty we deserve for that sin. Though we don't deserve it, He reaches out to us and calls us to a relationship with Him that will change us forever.  How you respond determines your eternity. Check out the video below and read a more detailed explanation of our view of salvation as well.

What we believe about salvation

Salvation involves the redemption of the whole person, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. In its broadest sense salvation includes regeneration, justification, sanctification, and glorification. There is no salvation apart from personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord.


A. Regeneration, or the new birth, is a work of God’s grace whereby believers become new creatures in Christ Jesus. It is a change of heart wrought by the Holy Spirit through conviction of sin, to which the sinner responds in repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Repentance and faith are inseparable experiences of grace.

Repentance is a genuine turning from sin toward God. Faith is the acceptance of Jesus Christ and commitment of the entire personality to Him as Lord and Savior.


B. Justification is God’s gracious and full acquittal upon principles of His righteousness of all sinners who repent and believe in Christ. Justification brings the believer unto a relationship of peace and favor with God.


C. Sanctification is the experience, beginning in regeneration, by which the believer is set apart to God’s purposes, and is enabled to progress toward moral and spiritual maturity through the presence and power of the Holy Spirit dwelling in him. Growth in grace should continue throughout the regenerate person’s life.


D. Glorification is the culmination of salvation and is the final blessed and abiding state of the redeemed.
