The Bible
We believe the Bible, consisting of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired, inerrant, and trustworthy Word of God. Because God cannot lie, His Word is completely true. Scripture is sufficient and is our final authority for faith, worship, doctrine, and daily life. The Holy Spirit helps believers understand and obey God’s Word.

God
We believe there is one true and living God, the Creator and Sustainer of all things. He is eternal, holy, loving, gracious, just, all-powerful, all-knowing, and present everywhere. God eternally exists in three distinct persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—equal in deity and united in one divine essence.

Humanity and Sin
We believe God created every person in His image; therefore, every human life possesses dignity and value. Humanity was created to glorify God, love Him, and love others. Through Adam’s rebellion, sin entered the world, bringing guilt, suffering, death, and separation from God. All people are sinners and cannot save themselves through good works.

Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and lived a completely sinless life. He died on the cross as the atoning sacrifice for our sins, was buried, and bodily rose from the dead on the third day. He ascended into heaven, reigns at the Father’s right hand, and will return in glory.

Salvation
We believe salvation is God’s gracious gift, received through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. On the cross, Jesus bore the punishment sinners deserve and gives His righteousness to everyone who believes. Those who trust in Christ are forgiven, justified, reconciled to God, born again, and eternally secure through Christ’s finished work.

The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is fully God and the third person of the Trinity. He convicts the world of sin, gives new life to believers, seals them for redemption, helps them understand Scripture, produces spiritual fruit, empowers godly living, and gives spiritual gifts for serving the church and proclaiming the gospel.

The Church
We believe the church is made up of everyone who has placed their faith in Jesus Christ, with Christ as its head. The church gathers for worship, biblical teaching, fellowship, prayer, service, discipleship, evangelism, baptism, and the Lord’s Supper. Believers are called to love one another, care for those in need, and share the gospel with the world.

End Times
We believe Jesus Christ will personally and visibly return to judge the world. All people will be raised from the dead: believers to eternal life with God and unbelievers to eternal punishment. God will create a new heaven and a new earth, where His people will live forever in His glorious presence without sin, suffering, sorrow, or death.
 

Supporting passages: Matthew 24:30–31; Matthew 25:31–46; John 5:28–29; Acts 1:9–11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18; 2 Thessalonians 1:7–10; Revelation 20:11–15; Revelation 21:1–4

 

Marriage, Sex, and Gender
We believe God created humanity in His image as male and female. A person’s biological sex is part of God’s good and purposeful created design. We believe marriage is a sacred, lifelong covenant established by God between one man and one woman. Sexual intimacy is God’s gift and is reserved exclusively for the marriage covenant. Therefore, believers are called to honor God with their bodies, pursue sexual purity, and treat every person with truth, dignity, compassion, and love.
 

Supporting passages: Genesis 1:27; Genesis 2:18–24; Deuteronomy 22:5;  Matthew 19:4–6; Romans 1:24–27; 1 Corinthians 6:9–20; 1 Corinthians 7:2–5; Ephesians 5:22–33; Hebrews 13:4

​

Therefore, we seek to glorify God by trusting Jesus Christ, obeying Scripture, loving one another, and sharing the gospel with the world.
