What We Believe

There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise.  God  is perfect in holiness and love, the Creator and Sustainer of all things, and sovereign over all.
Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; 
Colossians 1:16–17

 Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven. He is our substitute, Redeemer, and King.
John 1:14; Philippians 2:5–11; Romans 3:21–26; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4

The Holy Spirit gives new life, convicts of sin, and empowers believers to grow in holiness. He dwells within us, gifts us for ministry, and leads us into all truth.
John 14:16–17; Romans 8:9–11; Galatians 5:22–25;
1 Corinthians 12:4–11

 Before the foundation of the world, God purposed to save a people for Himself. The gospel is the good news of Jesus Christ; His life, death, and resurrection for sinners. It is the power of God for salvation to all who believe, offering forgiveness, new life, and eternal hope. God calls us to repent and trust in Christ, and by His grace, He justifies, sanctifies, and will one day glorify all who are His.
 Ephesians 1:3–14; Romans 1:16–17; 8:28–30; 1 Corinthians 15:1–4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Revelation 5:9–10

The Church is the body of Christ, made up of all believers, called to worship God, grow in grace, and live in loving community. As those sent by Jesus, we are commissioned to make disciples of all nations—baptizing them and teaching them to obey all He has commanded. Through the ongoing ministry of the Word, prayer, baptism, and the Lord’s Supper, we are equipped to proclaim the gospel and live as His witnesses in the world.
Matthew 28:18–20; Acts 2:42–47; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26; 
Ephesians 2:19–22

Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead and to make all things new. Believers will enjoy eternal life with God, and all creation will be restored to His glory.
Revelation 21:1–8; 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18; Matthew 25:31–46;  2 Peter 3:10–13

God reveals Himself through creation, but most clearly through Jesus Christ and the Scriptures. The Bible is God's inspired, authoritative, and sufficient Word, teaching us all we need to know about salvation and life in Him.
Psalm 19:1–4; Hebrews 1:1–2; 2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21

God created male and female in His image to reflect His glory, live in relationship with Him, and steward His creation. Though equal in dignity and value, men and women were made to complement each other in life, marriage, and service.
Genesis 1:26–28; Genesis 2:18–25; Matthew 19:4–6; 

Through Adam’s sin, all humanity became separated from God, spiritually dead, and under judgment. Our greatest need is reconciliation with God, which we cannot achieve on our own.
Genesis 3:1–19; Romans 3:10–12, 23; Romans 5:12–19; 

We are declared righteous before God by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. This justification is not based on our works but entirely on Christ’s obedience and sacrificial death on our behalf.
Romans 5:1; Galatians 2:16; Ephesians 2:8–9; Titus 3:4–7

We believe that Baptism and the Lord’s Supper are the two ordinances instituted by the Lord Jesus for His Church. These are not means of salvation but visible signs and seals of the gospel.

Baptism is a one-time act of obedience for those who have repented and trusted in Christ. It is an outward expression of an inward transformation; symbolizing union with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection, the washing away of sins, and new life by the Spirit.
Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:3–5; Acts 2:38; Colossians 2:12

The Lord’s Supper is a regular and ongoing act of remembrance and proclamation of Christ’s death. As we eat the bread and drink the cup, we remember Christ’s sacrifice, examine our hearts, and proclaim His death until He comes again.
