WE BELIEVE
GOD
We believe there is only One True God—revealed in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, commonly known together as the TrinityTHE BIBLE
We believe the Scriptures are inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind. God’s Word is true, authoritative, and sufficientJESUS CHRIST
We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God’s Son, Jesus was both human and divine. Jesus Christ died as the sacrificial substitute to pay the penalty for sin. He physically rose from the dead, ascended into heaven, and will one day return.THE FALL
We believe that though originally good, man willingly fell to sin—ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world.SALVATION
Hope of redemption is through faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Salvation is received by confessing Jesus as your Lord and Savior and by believing in your Heart that He is raised from the dead and seated at the right hand of the Father in Heaven.
SANCTIFICATION
We believe sanctification initially occurs at the point of salvation. Sanctification is not only a declaration that a believer is holy in God’s sight but also a progressive, lifelong process of separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christlike.FINAL JUDGMENT
We believe that Jesus is coming again for His Church, and there will be final judgment and punishment for sin for those whose names are not written in the Book of Life. They will be condemned to hell for eternity. Those in Christ will enjoy eternal life with the Lord in Heaven.
THE CHURCH
We have a mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe the Church is the body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God’s offer of redemption through the sacrificial death of His Son, Jesus Christ.THE HOLY SPIRIT
All believers receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit when they are spiritually born again. Christians can experience the baptism with the Holy Spirit that Jesus promised His disciples which brings power for Christian living and service to the Lord.HOLY SPIRIT GIFTS
We believe all of the gifts of the Spirit in Scripture are in use today. God distributes these gifts according to His will, enabling believers to experience His supernatural power today and equipping Christians for ministry. We should seek them eagerly, but not all believers will experience every spiritual gift. We should use spiritual gifts in a God-honoring and orderly way.
HEALING
We believe that God still divinely heals those who are sick according to His purpose and plan. We should ask for healing and simultaneously trust God’s sovereign plan.ALL PEOPLE
We believe that people of every ethnicity, age, and background are made in God’s image and are meant to be loved and presented with God’s good news.MARRIAGE
We believe the Bible clearly describes God’s design for marriage. God intends marriage to be a lasting & committed relationship between one man and one woman. This bond is also a reflection of the lasting, committed relationship between Jesus and His Church.SEXUALITY
Sexuality is a part of God’s design for humanity and is intended to be enjoyed only within the framework of biblical marriage, between one natural-born man and one natural-born woman. Sex outside of biblical marriage is sin. We believe gender is fixed based on biology and not fluid based on feelings.ORDINANCES
We believe the Lord has commanded two traditions through which we remember Him. Those two traditions are baptism and communion. Baptism is an outward declaration to the world of the inward work of salvation, publicly expressed through submersion under water and emergence from it. This symbolizes our death, burial, and resurrection with Jesus through belief. Communion is an inward remembrance with the family of God that symbolizes our devotion, dedication, and need for Jesus’ blood and body, received together in Church as bread and juice.
