What We Believe

One God

We believe that there is one true God who exists in three persons — God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:18-19, 2 Corinthians 13:14, Hebrews 1:1-4)

Jesus Is God

We believe that Jesus Christ is God incarnate (in the flesh) who came to all the world to offer the only solution to sin — a holy sacrifice. (Philippians 2:5-8, Luke 2:40, John 1:1-5, Hebrews 4:15)

Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit permanently lives in every believer providing assurance, strength, and wisdom. He also uniquely gives each believer gifts for the building up of the Body of Christ. (John 16:7-11, 1 Corinthians 12:13, Ephesians 4:30)

The Bible

We believe that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God revealed to humans and inspired by God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, Romans 15:4)

Salvation

We believe that salvation (the forgiveness of sins) is not linked to church membership, works, good deeds, heritage, or genealogy, but rather faith alone in Jesus Christ. (John 1:12, John 3:16, Romans 3:23-25)

Relationship

We believe becoming a Christian begins with starting a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. (John 3:1-15, John 3:16, 2 Corinthians 5:17-20)

The Church

We believe that the Church exists to reflect who God is and to bring glory to Himself. (Matthew 16:18-19, Acts 2:41-47, Ephesians 1:22-23)

Forgiveness

We believe the only remedy for sin is a renewed life based on faith in Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:6-9, Galatians 3:13-14)

Baptism

We believe that believers baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper are the two ordinances of the church. (Matthew 28:19, Luke 22:14-23, I Corinthians 11:23-26)
