We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. It is true, trustworthy, and authoritative. Scripture is our final standard for what we believe and how we live.

Through His Word, God reveals His character, His purposes, and His plan of redemption through Jesus Christ.

Psalm 119:105; Proverbs 30:5; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21

We believe there is one true God who exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each person of the Trinity is fully God, equal in nature and glory, yet there is only one God.

God is holy, loving, all-powerful, all-knowing, and worthy of all worship.

Genesis 1:26; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 3:16-17; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14

We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God and the second person of the Trinity. He is fully God and fully human.

Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a completely sinless life, performed miracles, revealed the heart of the Father, and willingly gave His life on the cross for our sins.

He was buried, physically rose from the dead on the third day, ascended into Heaven, and now sits at the right hand of the Father. He will return again in power and glory.

Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18-23; John 1:1-14; Philippians 2:5-11; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Acts 1:9-11

We believe every person is created in the image of God and possesses immeasurable dignity, value, and purpose.

Humanity was created to know God and live in relationship with Him. Through human disobedience, however, sin entered the world. Sin separates us from God, damages His good creation, and leaves us unable to save ourselves.

Every person has sinned and needs the forgiveness and new life found only in Jesus Christ.

Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 3:1-19; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12-19; Romans 6:23

We believe the blood Jesus shed on the cross was completely sufficient to pay the penalty for sin. Through His sacrifice, Jesus took upon Himself the judgment we deserved and made forgiveness and reconciliation with God available to everyone who believes.

His finished work frees us from the guilt and power of sin and gives us peace with God.

John 1:29; Romans 3:23-26; Romans 5:8-9; Colossians 1:19-20; 1 Peter 1:18-19; 1 John 1:7

We believe salvation is the gracious gift of God, made possible through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Salvation cannot be earned through good works, religious activity, or human effort. We receive it by turning from sin and placing our faith in Jesus as Savior and Lord.

Through Christ, we are forgiven, made new, adopted into God's family, and given eternal life.

John 3:16-17; Acts 16:31; Romans 10:9-10; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-7; 2 Corinthians 5:17

We believe repentance means turning away from sin and turning toward God. It is more than feeling regret; it is a sincere change of heart that leads to a new direction in life.

When we repent and trust in Jesus, the Holy Spirit gives us new spiritual life. We are no longer defined by our past but are made new in Christ.

Mark 1:15; Acts 2:38; Acts 3:19; Titus 3:5; 1 John 1:9

We believe following Jesus is a lifelong journey of transformation. The Holy Spirit works within believers to make us more like Christ in our character, relationships, choices, and actions.

As we surrender to God, study His Word, pray, worship, and live in Christian community, we learn to reflect the love and holiness of Jesus in every area of life.

Romans 8:29; Romans 12:1-2; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Galatians 5:16-25; 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

We believe the Holy Spirit is fully God and actively at work in the world today.

The Holy Spirit draws people to Jesus, brings new spiritual life, and lives within every believer. He comforts, teaches, convicts, guides, transforms, and empowers us to live faithfully and carry out the mission of Jesus.

John 14:16-17, 26; John 16:7-15; Romans 8:9-14; Galatians 5:22-25

We believe the baptism in the Holy Spirit is the Father's promise to His people, made possible through Jesus Christ and first poured out upon the Church at Pentecost.

This experience empowers believers to live boldly, serve effectively, and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world. We believe every follower of Jesus should continually seek the presence, power, and fullness of the Holy Spirit.

Joel 2:28-29; Matthew 3:11; Acts 1:4-8; Acts 2:1-4, 17-18, 38-39; Acts 8:14-17; Acts 10:44-47; Acts 19:1-6

We believe the Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts to believers according to His will. These gifts equip God's people for ministry, strengthen the Church, encourage spiritual growth, and demonstrate the truth and power of the gospel.

We believe the spiritual gifts described in Scripture remain active and available to the Church today. Believers are encouraged to desire and faithfully use these gifts while being guided by love, humility, wisdom, and biblical order.

Every spiritual gift must operate in harmony with Scripture, point people toward Jesus, and be used to serve others rather than bring attention to an individual.

Romans 12:4-8; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13; 1 Corinthians 14:1-40; Ephesians 4:11-16; 1 Peter 4:10-11

We believe the Church is the body of Christ, made up of all who have placed their faith in Jesus. Every believer has a place, a purpose, and a part to play.

The local church gathers to worship God, grow in faith, care for one another, develop meaningful community, serve those in need, and carry the message of Jesus to the world.

Though we are many people with different stories, we are one family united in Christ.

Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 2:42-47; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27; Ephesians 2:19-22; Ephesians 4:11-16

We believe water baptism is an important act of obedience for every follower of Jesus.

Baptism does not earn salvation. It is a public declaration of personal faith in Christ and identifies the believer with His death, burial, and resurrection. We practice baptism by immersion in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38; Acts 8:36-38; Romans 6:3-4; Colossians 2:12

We believe Communion is a sacred practice through which followers of Jesus remember and proclaim His sacrifice.

The bread and cup remind us of the body of Christ given for us and His blood shed for the forgiveness of sin. Communion is a time to reflect, give thanks, celebrate the new covenant, and remember that our hope is anchored in the finished work of Jesus.

Matthew 26:26-29; 1 Corinthians 10:16-17; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

We believe God hears and answers prayer. Scripture invites believers to pray with faith, including praying for those who are sick and in need of healing.

We believe God continues to heal today-spiritually, emotionally, and physically. We pray boldly while humbly trusting His wisdom, timing, and sovereign care.

Whether healing comes instantly, through a process, through medical care, or ultimately in eternity, our hope remains firmly anchored in the goodness and faithfulness of God.

Psalm 103:2-5; Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:16-17; 1 Corinthians 12:9; James 5:14-16

We believe every person is created by God in His image and possesses inherent dignity, value, and purpose.

Scripture teaches that God created humanity as male and female-two distinct and complementary sexes. We receive our identity as part of God's good creation, and our deepest and truest identity is found in Jesus Christ.

We believe marriage is a sacred covenant established by God as the lifelong union of one man and one woman. Within this covenant, husband and wife are called to love, honor, serve, and remain faithful to one another. Marriage reflects Christ's faithful love for His Church.

Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 2:18-24; Matthew 19:4-6; Ephesians 5:21-33

We believe Jesus Christ was physically raised from the dead in a glorified body on the third day following His death on the cross. His resurrection defeated sin and death and is the foundation of our Christian hope.

We also believe there will be a bodily resurrection of all people. Those who have received salvation through Jesus Christ will be raised to eternal life, while those who have rejected Him will face judgment and eternal separation from God.

Luke 24:36-43; John 20:26-29; Acts 24:15; 1 Corinthians 15:20-23, 42-44; Philippians 3:20-21

We believe Heaven is the eternal home of all who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ.

There, God will dwell with His people, and there will be no more death, sorrow, pain, or suffering. Believers will enjoy everlasting life in the presence of God.

This promised future gives us an unshakable hope that remains firm through every season of life.

Matthew 5:12; Matthew 25:34; John 14:1-3; 2 Corinthians 5:1; 1 Peter 1:3-4; Revelation 21:1-4

We believe every person lives one earthly life and will stand before God in judgment.

Those who reject God's offer of salvation through Jesus Christ will experience eternal separation from Him in Hell. Hell is a real place of conscious punishment prepared for the devil and his angels.

This truth gives urgency to our mission and moves us to share the gospel so that people may find forgiveness, freedom, and eternal life in Jesus.

Matthew 25:41, 46; Mark 9:43-48; Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:8

We believe Jesus Christ will personally, physically, and visibly return to the earth in power and glory.

He will judge evil, fully establish His Kingdom, and reign forever. Scripture does not reveal the day or hour of His return. Until He comes, believers are called to remain watchful, live faithfully, and share the good news of Jesus with the world.

Matthew 24:30, 36, 44; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; Revelation 1:7
