Our Beliefs
The Bible
We believe the Bible is God's inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word. It is the final authority for faith and life and reveals God's plan of redemption through Jesus Christ.
Key Scriptures: 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Psalm 119:105; John 17:17
God
We believe there is one true and living God who eternally exists in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is the Creator, Sustainer, and Ruler of all things.
Key Scriptures: Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14
Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died for our sins, rose bodily from the grave, ascended to heaven, and will one day return in glory.
Key Scriptures: John 1:1-14; Romans 5:8; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit convicts people of sin, brings believers to faith in Christ, indwells every Christian, and empowers God's people for holy living and service.
Key Scriptures: John 16:8-13; Acts 1:8; Ephesians 1:13-14
Humanity and Sin
We believe every person is created in the image of God and possesses inherent dignity and worth. Because of sin, all people are separated from God and in need of salvation.
Key Scriptures: Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23
Salvation
We believe salvation is by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Those who repent of their sin and trust in Christ receive forgiveness, eternal life, and a restored relationship with God.
Key Scriptures: John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 10:9-10
The Church
We believe the church is the body of Christ, made up of all believers. The local church exists to worship God, proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, and encourage believers in their walk with Christ.
Key Scriptures: Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:41-42; Ephesians 4:11-16
Baptism and the Lord's Supper
We believe baptism by immersion is an act of obedience for believers and a public testimony of faith in Christ. We believe the Lord's Supper is a memorial of Christ's sacrifice and a proclamation of His coming again.
Key Scriptures: Matthew 28:19-20; Romans 6:3-4; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
The Christian Life
We believe Christians are called to grow in Christlikeness, live in obedience to God's Word, faithfully serve others, and share the Gospel with the world.
Key Scriptures: Matthew 22:37-39; Galatians 5:22-23; Colossians 3:16-17
The Family
We believe God designed marriage as a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman. We believe children are a gift from God and that parents are called to raise them according to biblical truth.
Key Scriptures: Genesis 2:24; Ephesians 5:22-33; Psalm 127:3
Last Things
We believe Jesus Christ will personally return, the dead will be raised, and God will judge all people. Those who have trusted in Christ will dwell forever with the Lord.
Key Scriptures: John 14:1-3; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18; Revelation 21:1-4
Evangelism and Missions
We believe every Christian is called to make disciples and share the hope of the Gospel locally and around the world.
Key Scriptures: Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:13-15
