what we believe

  • THE BIBLE

    We believe the Bible is the inspired and authoritative Word of God. It is the final authority for faith, life, and doctrine.

    2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21; Hebrews 4:12

  • GOD

    We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — each fully God and fully unified. 

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

  • Jesus christ

    We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, fully God and fully man. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, rose from the grave, and will return again in power and glory. 

    John 1:1–14; Colossians 1:15–20; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Acts 1:11

  • the holy spirit

    Empowers us to live Christ-centered lives, and equips us with spiritual gifts for ministry. 

    John 14:16–17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 12:4–11; Galatians 5:22–23

  • Sin + Salvation

    We believe that all people have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Because of sin, we are separated from Him and in need of a Savior. Salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone — not earned by works but given as the free gift of God to all who repent and believe.

    Romans 3:23; Ephesians 2:8–9; Romans 10:9–10; Acts 4:12

  • the church

    We believe the Church is the body of Christ, made up of all who put their faith in Jesus. The local church exists to worship God, equip believers, and reach the world with the gospel. 

    Matthew 16:18; Acts 2:42–47; 1 Corinthians 12:12–27

  • The Great Commission

    We believe every believer is called to share the gospel and make disciples of all nations. The Church is sent to reach the lost, care for the needy, and advance God’s Kingdom.

    Matthew 28:18–20; Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 5:18–20

  • Baptism + Communion

    We believe in water baptism as an outward declaration of faith and in communion as a remembrance of Christ’s sacrifice. These are acts of obedience, not requirements for salvation. 

    Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:3–4; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26

  • Humanity + Gender

    We believe that every person is created in the image of God with inherent dignity, value, and purpose. God created humanity male and female, and these two genders reflect His design.

    Genesis 1:26–27; Psalm 139:13–16; Mark 10:6

  • Eternity

    We believe in the resurrection of the dead, the final judgment, and the eternal destiny of every person — either eternal life with God in heaven or eternal separation from Him in hell.

    John 5:28–29; Matthew 25:31–46; Revelation 20:11–15
