Our Beliefs

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14). These three are coequal, coeternal, and distinct, yet fully and perfectly united as one God. God the Son, Jesus Christ, is fully God and fully man who came to redeem humanity through His life, death, and resurrection. God the Holy Spirit empowers, guides, and dwells within believers, enabling them to live out the mission of Christ. Though distinct in person and role, the three are one in essence, glory, and purpose—worthy of our worship, love, and obedience.

We believe in God the Father, an infinite personal Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, and love. We believe that He actively and mercifully intervenes in the affairs of humanity, that He hears and answers prayer, and that He saves from sin and death all that come to Him through Jesus Christ. (Exodus 34:6-7, John 3:16, John 4:23-24, Ephesians 1:3)

Jesus Christ is both the eternal Son of God and virgin-born Son of man. Fully God, fully man, He surrendered nothing of His deity during His earthly life. His sinless, sacrificial offering on the cross satisfied the Father’s justice, offering atonement for all of humanity’s sins for all time. We believe in His bodily resurrection, His physical ascension, and His visible return back to earth to establish His earthly kingdom. (John 1:14-18; Colossians 1:15-20)

The Holy Spirit executes the will of God in this world through humanity by leading, guiding, filling, equipping, teaching, and convicting. The Holy Spirit is not merely an impersonal force, but is a person, displaying the qualities of personhood (intellect, emotions, and will). The Holy Spirit equips believers upon conversion by giving them gifts to be used for the building up of the church and by bearing fruit through their yielded lives. (John 16:7-11; Ephesians 2:10; Ephesians 1:13-14; Galatians 5:22-25) 

We are created in the image of God (male and female), destined to enjoy an intimate relationship with Him and one another, fulfilling His will here on earth. Through Adam and Eve’s willful sin in the garden, sin entered the world and has infected all of humanity. Due to our inherent sinful nature received from our father Adam, we are separated from God, spiritually dead, and destined for physical death and an eternity removed from God. (Genesis 1-3; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 5:12-21; Ephesians 2:1-3) 

Jesus Christ died for our sins as the only sufficient sacrifice, offering atonement for the sin of all mankind through His death, burial, and resurrection. While salvation is available to all, it is only experienced by those who receive His gracious gift by faith, apart from works. 

As a result of our new relationship with God through His Son, Jesus, we are called to a life of submission to the Holy Spirit, manifesting spiritual fruit, and walking in good works that God has prepared beforehand for us to do. (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; John 1:12; Ephesians 1:7, 2:8-9; Hebrews 10:10-14; 1 John 5:11-13; Galatians 3:26; John 3:16)

We believe everyone will spend eternity in one of two places. The saved will spend eternity in heaven, and the unsaved will spend eternity in hell. (John 3:16; John 3:15; John 5:24; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15; 1 John 5:11, 12; Matthew 25:31-46) 

At the end of all things, God promises to make all things new. He invites us, His followers, to join Him in this work of renewal on earth. The signs of His kingdom coming are salvation, joy, peace, justice, God’s presence, belonging, and healing. (Revelation 21:5). 

All who place their faith in God through His Son, Jesus Christ, are a part of the universal body of believers known as the Church. The purpose of the local church is to lead people to Christ and bring them to maturity in Him. Members of the local church are to live lives in humble submission to other Spirit-led believers and to the God-appointed leaders of the church. (Hebrews 10:24-25; Acts 2:41- 47; 1 Corinthians 12-14; Matthew 28:18-20; Ephesians 2:19-22; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17) 

We believe the ordinances of the local church are believers’ baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Believers’ baptism, by full immersion, is a testimony of the death to sin and resurrection to a new life in Christ; and the Lord’s Supper is an act of remembrance, setting forth in sacred and symbolic manner the death of Jesus and our salvation through faith in Him. All believers and only believers should participate in these ordinances. 

We believe that the Lord’s Supper and full immersion water baptism are divinely ordained to be observed by the church during this present age. Though they are not to be regarded as means of salvation, they are regarded as means of grace. (Luke 22:19, 1 Corinthians 11:25-26, Matthew 28:19, Romans 6:3-4) your text

We believe that marriage is a sacred, lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, created by God to reflect His love for the Church (Genesis 2:24, Ephesians 5:22–33). It is more than a contract—it is a spiritual union marked by mutual love, respect, and faithfulness. Marriage serves as a picture of Christ’s relationship with the Church, calling both spouses to serve one another in humility and build a foundation of faith, prayer, and love. Our church is committed to supporting couples through every season, offering resources, prayer, and care to help them grow together. While divorce is not part of God’s original design, Scripture does acknowledge it in certain cases. Even so, our desire is always for healing, restoration, and the strengthening of marriages through grace and the power of God.

We believe that every person is created in the image of God with inherent dignity, value, and purpose. We are committed to loving all people as Christ does, including those who identify as LGBTQ+. 

We affirm that God’s design for human sexuality is expressed within the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4–6). Sexual activity outside of this context—including same-sex relationships—is outside of God’s intended design. 

We believe that God created humanity as male and female, and that our biological sex is a part of His purposeful design (Genesis 1:27; Psalm 139:13–14).

The Bible is God’s word to all mankind. It was written by human authors who were inspired by God. It is the supreme source of truth without any mixture of error. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20, 21; 2 Timothy 1:13)
