The Sacred Scripture
We believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God, our final authority for faith and practice.
(2 Timothy 3:16–17; Psalm 119:105)
Blessed Trinity
We believe there is only one God who eternally exists in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
(Matthew 28:19)
The Lord Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully man, born of a virgin, who lived a sinless life, died on the cross as the perfect sacrifice for our sins, rose bodily from the grave, and is now seated at the right hand of God.
(John 1:1–14; Philippians 2:5–11; Hebrews 4:14–15)
The Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, regenerates the believing sinner, and indwells, guides, teaches, and empowers believers for godly living and service.
(John 14:16–17; Acts 1:8; Galatians 5:22–23)
Salvation
We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. It is the gift of God, not earned by works, but received by trusting in Christ’s finished work on the cross.
(Ephesians 2:8–9; Romans 10:9–10)
Water Baptism
We believe that baptism is an outward expression of an inward faith in Jesus Christ — a public declaration of salvation and identification with His death, burial, and resurrection.
(Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:3–4)
The Priesthood of the Believer
We believe that every believer has direct access to God through Jesus Christ, and is called to serve, pray, and intercede for others as part of the body of Christ.
(1 Peter 2:9; Hebrews 4:14–16)
The Church
We believe that the church is the body of Christ, composed of all believers, called to worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry, and mission.
(Matthew 16:18; Ephesians 4:11–16)
Evangelism
We believe that every believer is called to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, making disciples locally and globally.
(Matthew 28:18–20; Acts 1:8)
Prayer and Praise
We believe that prayer is our lifeline to God and praise is our joyful response to His greatness and goodness. Together they strengthen our relationship with Him and unite us as His people.
(Philippians 4:6–7; Psalm 150:6)
Stewardship
We believe that everything we have comes from God, and we are called to honor Him by giving of our time, talents, and treasures to further His kingdom.
(1 Peter 4:10; 2 Corinthians 9:6–7)
God’s Design for Marriage
We believe God’s design for sexual intimacy is to be expressed only within the context of marriage between one man and one woman as the foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society. For this reason, we believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one man and one woman.
(Leviticus 20:13; Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5-6; Mark 10:6-9; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9)
Eternal Life
We believe in eternal life, and through belief in Jesus Christ as God’s, we will spend eternity with the Lord in Heaven. We also believe that if a person rejects Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, that person will receive eternal suffering in hell.
(Matthew 25:31-46; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
