Our Beliefs

We believe that the Bible ​is God’s perfect and complete Word to all people at all times. We believe it is divinely inspired, without error, and fully sufficient to equip God’s people for every good work. (Psalm 19.7-11, 2 Timothy 3.16-17, Hebrews 4.12, 2 Peter 1.20-21)

We believe in one God​ who eternally exists as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit​ - three equal, unified, and yet distinct persons who are unchanging in character and nature. (Genesis 1.1, Genesis 1.26, Deuteronomy 6.4, Psalm 45.6-7, Psalm 110.1, Isaiah 46.9-10, Matthew 3.13-17, Matthew 28.17-20, John 17.3, 1 Corinthians 8.4-6, 1 Corinthians 12.4-6, 1 Timothy 2.5)

We believe that God created man​ and woman​ uniquely in His image for the primary purpose of divine fellowship, yet through our sin we have each been separated from Him. (Genesis 1.27, Genesis 6.5, Psalm 51.5, Jeremiah 17.9, Romans 3.23, Romans 5.8, 6.23, Ephesians 2.1-3)

We believe that in an act of ultimate love, God sent His Son Jesus Christ​ to be born of a virgin, live a sinless life, experience death and separation from the Father on the cross for the atonement of our sins, and then rise again proving His divine Sonship and giving us the hope of life after death as well. (Matthew 27.46, Luke 1.26-35, John 3.16, Romans 1.1-5, 1 Corinthians 15.3-4, 15.16-20, Philippians 2.5-8)

We believe that only by grace through​ faith in Christ alone​ are our sins forgiven and our fellowship with God restored. (John 3.16, John 6.29, Romans 5.2, Ephesians 2.8-9, 2 Corinthians 5.18-21)

We believe that at the moment of faith, the Holy Spirit​ enters into the life of the believer as a guide into truth, an advocate in prayer, the source of our spiritual gifts, and a deposit that guarantees our eternal life. (John 16.13, Romans 8.26-27, 1 Corinthians 12, Ephesians 1.13-14)

We believe that baptism by immersion​ is the primary public expression of our personal faith in Christ and one of the first steps of obedience in a believer’s new life in Him. (Matthew 28.18-20, Acts 2.41, 8.12, 8.34-38)

We believe that God’s desire is for every believer to gather together in a local church ​for the purpose of growing in their relationship to Him, in their community and ministry to one another, and in their engagement in the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. (Acts 1.6-8, 2.41-47, 13.1-3, Romans 12.3-8, Ephesians 4.1-16, 1 Corinthians 12, Hebrews 10.25)

We believe that God has called the church to celebrate two sacraments​: baptism by immersion and the Lord’s Supper. (Matthew 26.26-29, Matthew 28.18-20, 1 Corinthians 11.17-34)

We believe in the future resurrection of all mankind: a resurrection of eternal life​ and fellowship with God for those who believe in Christ and a resurrection of eternal death​ and separation from God for those who do not believe in Christ. (Matthew 25.31-46, John 5.28-29, Acts 24.15, 1 Thessalonians 1.9-10)

We believe in the future ​return of Christ and the reconciliation of all things. (Matthew 16.27, 5.31-46, Acts 1.11, Romans 8.19-21, Colossians 1.19-20, 1 John 3.2)
