Our Beliefs
Learn more about us and what we believe.
GOD
We believe there is one true God, who is the Creator, Preserver, and Redeemer of the universe.
He is infinitely perfect in every way and eternally exists as three persons: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. This relationship is known as the Trinity/Godhead.
Biblical References: Genesis 1:1; Psalm 90:2; 95; 100; Isaiah 6:1-3; 40:12-28; 45:5-7; Jeremiah 10:10; Matthew 28:19-20; John 17:3; Acts 17:24-25; Romans 11:33-36; 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 John 3:20.
JESUS
We believe Jesus Christ, the second Person of the Trinity, is the only begotten Son of God.
He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. We believe He is the manifestation of God in the flesh. Hypo-static union means He is fully God and fully man.
We believe He lived a sinless life of perfect obedience to God and through His death on the cross made provision for the salvation of sinful people.
We believe He was raised from the dead with a glorified body, ascended into heaven where He rules over the universe and intercedes for His people, and will one day return visibly to the earth.

Our Beliefs
THE BIBLE
We believe the 66 books of the Bible were written by different men, writing according to their own styles and personalities, but supernaturally moved along by the Holy Spirit to record God’s very words. We believe that studying the historical-grammatical context can help us better understand God’s Word. Scripture is inerrant, trustworthy, complete and sufficient as the final authority for all of life.
Biblical References: Psalm 119:9-24, 89-105, 160-176; Matthew 5:17-18; John 5:46-47; John 10:35; Romans 15:4; 2 Timothy 3:14-16; Titus 1:1-3; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Jude 3.
Our Beliefs
MANKIND
We believe that God created mankind—male and female—in His own image and for His own glory. However, man sinned against God and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, separation from God. This spiritual death has been transmitted to the entire human race (except for Jesus Christ). Every person is born with a sinful nature that rebels against God and is under condemnation.
Biblical References: Genesis 1:26-28; 3; Psalm 8:3-8; 14:1-3; 51:3-6; Isaiah 59:1-3, Jeremiah 17:9, Romans 3:23; 5:12, 19; 6:23; Galatians 3:22; Ephesians 2:1-3.
SALVATION
We believe in the good news of the gospel that those who place their faith in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior are justified and declared “not guilty” of their sin receiving the gift of eternal life.
This salvation is acquired through faith alone apart from any good works and is based entirely on the death of Jesus Christ on the cross as their substitute.
We believe that Christ’s resurrection demonstrated God’s full acceptance of His death as payment for their sin, and foreshadows the final resurrection of all those who believe.
Biblical References: Isaiah 53:2-6; John 3:16-19; 36; 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 4:24-25; 5:1-2, 6-11; 6:23; 8:1-2; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21: Galatians 3:24-28; Ephesians 2:8-9; Colossians 1:13-14: Titus 3:5-8.
Our Beliefs
The Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity/Godhead, comes to live in those who place their faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior. We believe that the Holy Spirit guides, instructs, fills, and comforts believers. We believe the Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts on each individual to edify and build up the body of Christ.
Biblical References: Mark 13:11; John 14:15-17, 26; 15:26-27; 16:7-14; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 12:4-5, 11-13; Galatians 5:16; Ephesians 1:1-13-14; 5:18; 1 Thessalonians 5:19.
The Church
We believe in one, Church made up of all believers who have trusted in Christ, who is the Head of the Church. We also believe in the local church, which is an autonomous, local congregation of believers who gather for worship, teaching, spiritual growth, service, and fellowship.
It grows as each member serves the body using the spiritual gifts given to them by the Holy Spirit, resulting in maturity, unity, and glory to God.
Biblical References: Matthew 16:16-19; Acts 2:41-47; 20:28; Ephesians 1:22-23; 2:19-22; 3:20-21; 4:11-16; 5:23; Colossians 3:12-17; 1 Timothy 3.
Our Beliefs
BAPTISM & EUCHARIST
We believe that the Lord Jesus has given the local church two ordinances: Baptism and Eucharist.
Baptism is a symbolic testimony of their belief in the death and resurrection of Christ for salvation.
Likewise, believers should regularly partake in Eucharist/Communion/Lord's Supper as a symbolic remembrance of Christ’s death and as a testimony of our fellowship and our unity as the body of Christ.
We typically celebrate the Eucharist on the first Sunday or every month as well as special occasions such as Christmas and Easter.
Biblical References: Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 2:41-42; 1 Corinthians 11:23-32
SECOND COMING
We believe that at God’s appointed time, Jesus Christ will return to the earth and establish His kingdom. At final judgment, unbelievers will be separated forever from God in a place of everlasting punishment because of their rejection of Jesus Christ. Believers, in their resurrected bodies, will live in God’s glorious presence as they worship and serve Him forever.
