Statement of Beliefs

The Word of God

We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. It reveals His heart, His will, and His plan of redemption. Scripture is the final authority for faith, life, and doctrine.

2 Timothy 3:16–17; Psalm 19:7–11; 2 Peter 1:20–21; Hebrews 4:12

The Triune God

We believe in one eternal God who exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each is fully God, equal in power and glory, working in perfect unity to accomplish the divine will.

Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Ephesians 4:4–6

God the Father

We believe God the Father is Creator of all things. He reigns in sovereign love, sustaining and governing all creation. He desires relationship with His children and calls all people to Himself through His Son.

Genesis 1:1; Psalm 103:19; Matthew 6:9; John 3:16

Jesus Christ the Son

We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. Conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, He lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the cross for our sins, rose again in power, and now reigns at the right hand of the Father. He will return to establish His kingdom in fullness.

John 1:1, 14; Philippians 2:5–11; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Revelation 19:11–16

The Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, brings new life, and empowers believers for holy living, service, and witness. He distributes spiritual gifts for the building of the Church and reveals the presence and power of God in the earth today.

John 14:16–17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 12:4–11; Ephesians 1:13–14

Humanity

We believe every person is created in God’s image with inherent worth and purpose. Through sin, humanity became separated from God and cannot be reconciled apart from His grace.

Genesis 1:26–27; Romans 3:23; Ephesians 2:1–3

Salvation

We believe salvation is the free gift of God’s grace, received by faith in Jesus Christ alone. Through His death and resurrection, we are forgiven, justified, adopted, and sanctified. Salvation transforms us to live in obedience and holiness.

Ephesians 2:8–9; Romans 3:24–26; Titus 2:11–14

“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

2 Timothy 3:16-17

The Church

We believe the Church is the body of Christ and the dwelling place of His Spirit. We are called to worship God, grow in the Word, fellowship in unity, and carry His presence into the world.

Acts 2:42–47; Ephesians 2:19–22; 1 Peter 2:9–10

The Ordinances

We believe water baptism is an outward expression of new life in Christ, and the Lord’s Supper is a sacred act of remembrance, communion, and anticipation of His return.

Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:3–4; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26

The Kingdom of God

We believe the Kingdom of God began with the ministry of Jesus and continues through His Church today. It is both a present reality and a future hope that will be fully revealed at His return.

Ephesians 4:11–13; 1 Timothy 3:1–13

The Christian Life

We believe believers are called to reflect Christ through love, purity, humility, and service. We live by the Spirit, pursue holiness, and demonstrate the gospel in every sphere of life.

Micah 6:8; Galatians 5:22–25; Matthew 5:14–16

Marriage and Family

We believe God instituted marriage as a covenant between one man and one woman. It is a reflection of Christ’s relationship with His Church. Family is God’s design for discipleship, nurture, and love.

Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4–6; Ephesians 5:22–33; Deuteronomy 6:6–7

The Holy Spirit’s Power and Gifts

We believe the baptism of the Holy Spirit is a gift available to every believer. The Spirit’s gifts and fruits are active and essential for the Church to reveal Christ’s love and power in the world.

Acts 2:1–4; 1 Corinthians 12:7–11; Galatians 5:22–23

The Enemy

We believe in the existence of Satan and demonic powers who oppose God’s purposes. Christ’s victory through the cross disarmed these forces, and believers walk in His authority and triumph.

Ephesians 6:10–12; Colossians 2:15; 1 Peter 5:8–9

Mission

We believe the Church is commissioned to make disciples of all nations, preach the gospel, heal the broken, and advance God’s Kingdom through the power of the Spirit.

Matthew 28:18–20; Mark 16:15–18; 2 Corinthians 5:18–20

the Return of Christ

We believe Jesus will return personally and gloriously to judge the living and the dead, establish His eternal reign, and dwell forever with His redeemed people in a new heaven and new earth.

Acts 1:9–11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; Revelation 21:1–4
