What We Believe

Below is our Statement of Faith, rooted in Scripture and centered on the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Bible

We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God—the complete revelation of His will for salvation and the final authority for Christian faith and life (2 Tim 3:16–17; 2 Pet 1:20–21).

One God in Three Persons

We believe in one God, Creator of all, infinitely perfect and eternally existing as Father, Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Spirit (Gen 1:1; John 1:1–18; Eph 1:13–14).

Jesus Christ

We believe in the deity of Jesus, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, atoning death for our redemption, bodily resurrection, ascension, present intercession, and future return in power and glory (John 14:6; Luke 1:34–35; 1 Pet 2:22; John 20:30–31; 1 Pet 3:18; Acts 1:9; Heb 4:14–5:3; Rev 19:11–16).

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the personality and deity of the Holy Spirit, who brings new birth and indwells believers to enable a righteous life (John 14:16–17; Gal 5:16–23).

Humanity & Salvation

Created in God’s image yet separated by sin, humanity is reconciled to God only through faith in Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice (Gen 1:27; Rom 3:23; Isa 59:2; Heb 10:10; John 3:16).

Prayer, Service, and Mission

Through Christ we have direct access to God and are called to serve one another, the poor, and the lost—living a godly life until He returns (Heb 4:14–16; Matt 20:25–28; Acts 1:8).

Ordinances

We observe the Lord’s Supper and Water Baptism as symbolic ordinances given to the Church (Luke 22:19; Matt 28:19–20).

Stewardship & Generosity

Believers are called to serve God with time, talents, and possessions—giving cheerfully, regularly, and generously for the Gospel (Rom 8:12; Mal 3:8–12; 1 Cor 16:2; 2 Cor 9:7).

Evangelism & Mercy

Every believer is called to urge reconciliation to God through Christ and to meet others’ physical and spiritual needs (Matt 28:19–20; 2 Cor 5:11–21; Matt 25:31–46).

Resurrection & Judgment

We believe in the resurrection of the dead: believers to everlasting joy with the Lord, unbelievers to judgment (Acts 24:15; Matt 22:1–14).

Sanctity of Human Life

All human life—at every stage and condition—is sacred, made in God’s image; we are called to defend and value life (Psalm 139).

Creation: Male & Female

God wonderfully creates each person as male or female—distinct, complementary sexes reflecting His image (Gen 1:26–27).

Marriage & Sexual Ethics

Marriage is the covenant union of one man and one woman, uniquely reflecting Christ and His Church; God intends sexual intimacy only within marriage (Gen 2:18–25; Eph 5:21–33; 1 Cor 6:18; 7:2–5; Heb 13:4).

Any sexual immorality (including adultery, fornication, homosexual behavior, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, or use of pornography) is sinful and offensive to God (Matt 15:18–20; 1 Cor 6:9–10).

Agreement in Service

For the integrity and witness of the church, all staff and volunteers are expected to agree with and abide by this Statement of Faith (Matt 5:16; Phil 2:14–16; 1 Thess 5:22).

Redemption & Restoration

God offers redemption to all who repent and believe—bringing forgiveness and new life in Christ (Acts 3:19–21; Rom 10:9–10; 1 Cor 6:9–11).

This summary reflects our full Statement of Faith. If you have questions or would like Scripture studies for any item, we’d love to talk with you.
