About
WHO WE ARE
We are ordinary people who came to understand that, being sinners, we needed a Savior — and that Savior is Jesus Christ. He died for the sin of this world, and now gives salvation from the slavery of sin to everyone who receives Him through faith. We believe the Bible is the Word of God, and that this book is the authority for our lives.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ — to serve as Christ served, to love as Christ loved, and to be salt and light in a dark and tasteless world.
The church is a member congregation of the Ukrainian Baptist Convention in the USA (UMBS).

STATEMENT OF FAITH
Beliefs
“We preach Christ crucified… the power of God and the wisdom of God.”
1 Corinthians 1:23-24
These are the 15 articles of our Statement of Faith — the convictions that hold our congregation together. Tap any one to read it in full.
We believe the Bible, in its canonical form, is a God-breathed book — the one perfect source for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness.
What the Bible says, God says — so its entire many-sided content: history, prophecy, poetry, song, wisdom, sermon, and letter, is to be received as from God.
2 Tim. 3:16; Rom. 15:4; 2 Pet. 1:19-21; Heb. 4:12
