We believe in the Trinity. We see
the Bible as the infallible Word of God. Our congregation
teaches that all have sinned and are born with the need of
salvation which Christ provided by his death on the cross. We
believe that Jesus Christ was both fully human and fully divine
and that only through the sacrifice He made for us in His death
and resurrection is there forgiveness of sin and reconciliation
with God. We believe and teach that the Holy Spirit sees the
conflicts of sin for humans and moves unbelievers to Christ and
believers to proper Christian service.
Mission giving is extremely important. Our church supports
mission and betterment projects in the community and through
local and national “Christ Preaching“ organizations. Church
members are involved in many social improvement and
gospel-spreading organizations. Our mission is to serve all ages
through worship, Bible study, Sunday school, TV broadcast of the
morning service, support for the Presbyterian camp at Okoboji,
and youth projects throughout our community.
Baptism is taken seriously in our congregation. Both the parents
and our church members are pledging to train up the infant for the
kingdom of God and salvation through Christ's blood on the
cross. Confirmation is used to bring the child to a saving
knowledge of Christ. This is acknowledged by the confirmation
service and public profession of “Christ as Savior and Lord” of
their life.
Finally, we see ourselves as a church with a duty to meet the
needs of others. We are a church that hurts with those who hurt,
provides for those in need, and offers fellowship for the
forgotten and lonely. Our members provide money, supplies,
service, and daily prayers to help meet those needs.
We are a church beneath the Cross of Jesus -- TEACHING, SERVING
AND PRAYING.
