What We Believe

We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are inspired by God and are the authoritative standard for what we believe, teach, and practice. Our experiences, emotions, traditions, and culture must ultimately be evaluated by God's Word, not the other way around.

 2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21

We believe in one true and living God, eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—distinct in person and one in divine being.

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

We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, lived without sin, died on the cross for our sins, physically rose from the dead, ascended to the Father, and will return.

 John 1:1–14; Colossians 2:9; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Acts 1:9–11

We believe every person is created in the image of God and therefore possesses inherent dignity and worth. We also believe all people have sinned and are separated from God and cannot reconcile themselves to Him through morality, religion, good works, or human effort.

 Genesis 1:27; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23

We believe salvation is God's gift of grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ. Christ bore our sins on the cross and rose from the dead. Forgiveness and reconciliation with God are found in Him, not through our own works.

 John 3:16; John 14:6; Ephesians 2:8–9; Romans 10:9–13

We believe the Holy Spirit convicts of sin, gives new life to believers, dwells within them, produces spiritual fruit, equips the Church, and empowers Christians to live in obedience to Christ.

 John 16:8–13; Romans 8:9–14; Galatians 5:22–25

We believe Christians are called into the body of Christ rather than an isolated faith. The local church is essential for biblical teaching, fellowship, worship, accountability, service, pastoral care, and discipleship.

Digital ministry can reach someone. It should never attempt to replace the local church. 

  Acts 2:42–47; Hebrews 10:24–25; Ephesians 4:11–16

We believe Christians are called to proclaim the Gospel and make disciples among all nations. Wherever people gather represents an opportunity to faithfully carry out that mission.

 Matthew 28:18–20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:14–15

We believe Jesus Christ will return, the dead will be raised, every person will face judgment, and those who belong to Christ will dwell with Him eternally.

 John 5:28–29; Acts 17:31; Revelation 21:1–5
