WHAT WE BELIEVE
The Bible
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. It is truth without error in its original writings and is our final authority for faith, doctrine, and daily living.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21)
God
We believe there is one true and living God who eternally exists in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal, co-eternal, and of the same divine nature, yet distinct in person and purpose.
(Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14) God the Father We believe God the Father is sovereign over all creation. He is holy, loving, just, merciful, and faithful to His promises.
(Psalm 145:8-9; Romans 11:36)
Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal 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 bodily from the grave, ascended into Heaven, and will return again in power and glory.
(John 1:1,14; Colossians 2:9; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4) The Holy Spirit We believe the Holy Spirit is fully God and the third person of the Trinity. He convicts the world of sin, regenerates those who trust in Christ, indwells every believer, guides into truth, empowers Christian living, and equips believers for service.
(John 16:13; Acts 5:3-4; Romans 8:9)
Creation
We believe God created the heavens and the earth by His direct act in six literal 24-hour days as recorded in Genesis. We believe mankind was created in the image of God and that God’s creation declares His glory and authority.
(Genesis 1:1-31; Exodus 20:11; Psalm 19:1) Salvation We believe salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone — not by works, religion, or human effort. Every person is a sinner in need of forgiveness and reconciliation with God. Through repentance and faith in Christ, a person is born again and receives eternal life.
(Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23; John 3:3)
The Church
We believe the Church is the body of Christ, made up of all true believers. The local church exists to worship God, proclaim the Gospel, teach the Scriptures, disciple believers, and serve others in love.
(Ephesians 1:22-23; Acts 2:41-42; Matthew 28:19-20) Baptism and the Lord’s Supper We believe believer’s baptism by immersion is an act of obedience and public testimony of faith in Christ. We believe the Lord’s Supper is a memorial of Christ’s sacrifice and should be observed reverently by believers.
(Romans 6:4; Acts 8:36-39; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26)
Christian Living
We believe Christians are called to live holy, loving, and faithful lives that honor Jesus Christ. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, believers are to grow in spiritual maturity, truth, cTompassion, and obedience to God’s Word.
(Romans 12:1-2; Galatians 5:16; 1 Peter 1:15-16)
The Return of Christ
We believe Jesus Christ will personally and visibly return for His church in the pre-tribulation rapture. We believe He will one day establish His kingdom and reign in righteousness. We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost, eternal life with God for believers, and eternal separation from God for those who reject Christ.
(1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; Revelation 20:11-15)
Our Mission
Our desire is to glorify God by faithfully teaching His Word, loving people, sharing the Gospel, and helping people grow into devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
(Matthew 28:19-20; Colossians 3:16-17)
