What We Believe
GOD:
THE TRIUNE GOD
We believe in one God, eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
God is the Creator and Sustainer of all things. He is holy, loving, just, merciful, sovereign, and worthy of all worship.
(Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
CREATION & HUMANITY:
MADE IN GOD’S IMAGE
We believe God created humanity in His image and endowed every person with inherent dignity and worth.
Human beings were created for relationship with God, with one another, and with God’s creation.
(Genesis 1:26–27; Psalm 8:4–6)
JESUS CHRIST:
LORD AND SAVIOR
We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human, the eternal Son of God.
He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, lived without sin, proclaimed the Kingdom of God, died for our sins, was bodily raised from the dead, ascended to the Father, and will come again.
(John 1:1, 14; Luke 1:35; Hebrews 4:15; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Acts 1:9–11)
THE HOLY SPIRIT:
GOD WITHIN US
We believe the Holy Spirit indwells believers and empowers us to live transformed lives.
The Spirit convicts, comforts, teaches, guides, sanctifies, gives spiritual gifts, produces spiritual fruit, and empowers the Church for witness and service.
(John 14:16–17, 26; Acts 1:8; Galatians 5:22–23; 1 Corinthians 12:4–11)
SANCTIFICATION: GROWING IN CHRIST
We believe salvation begins a lifelong process of spiritual transformation.
Through the work of the Holy Spirit, believers are called to grow in holiness, character, love, obedience, and Christlikeness.
(Romans 12:1–2; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Philippians 2:12–13; 1 Thessalonians 4:3)
BAPTISM &
THE LORD'S SUPPER
We believe Jesus Christ gave the Church sacred practices through which we publicly remember, proclaim, and celebrate our faith.
Baptism bears witness to our identification with Christ, and the Lord’s Supper remembers and proclaims His sacrificial death until He comes.
(Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:3–4; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26)
RESURRECTION,
JUDGEMENT &
ETERNITY
We believe in the resurrection of the dead, God’s final judgment, and eternal life.
Our ultimate hope is not death but resurrection. Those who belong to Christ will dwell eternally with God, and God’s redemptive purposes will ultimately triumph.
John 5:28–29; John 11:25–26; 1 Corinthians 15:51–57; Revelation 21:1–5
THE BIBLE:
THE WORD OF GOD
We believe the Holy Scriptures are inspired by God and are authoritative for Christian faith and practice.
The Bible reveals God’s character, God’s redemptive purposes, and God’s will for humanity and points us ultimately to Jesus Christ.
(2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21; Psalm 119:105; John 5:39)
THE FALL: HUMANITY’S NEED FOR REDEMPTION
We believe humanity’s rebellion against God brought sin, brokenness, and death into human experience.
Sin separates humanity from God, and no person can restore that relationship through human effort alone. We all stand in need of God’s grace.
(Genesis 3:1–19; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12; Romans 6:23)
SALVATION:
BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH
We believe salvation is God’s gift, made possible through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ—not by our own works or merit.
(John 3:16; Romans 10:9–10; Ephesians 2:8–9; Titus 3:5)
JUSTIFICATION:
MADE RIGHT WITH GOD
We believe that those who place their faith in Jesus Christ are justified by God’s grace.
Through Christ, we are forgiven, declared righteous, reconciled to God, and brought into a new relationship with Him.
(Romans 3:23–26; Romans 5:1; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 2:16)
THE CHURCH:
THE BODY OF CHRIST
We believe the Church is the Body of Christ and the community of God’s redeemed people.
The Church exists to worship God, proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, nurture believers, serve humanity, pursue justice and mercy, and bear witness to God’s Kingdom in the world.
(Matthew 28:19–20; Acts 2:42–47; 1 Corinthians 12:27; Micah 6:8)
THE
KINGDOM OF GOD
We believe God’s Kingdom was uniquely revealed and inaugurated through Jesus Christ and will ultimately be fulfilled according to God’s purposes.
As followers of Jesus, we are called to embody Kingdom values through love, truth, justice, mercy, reconciliation, service, and faithful witness.
(Matthew 4:17; Matthew 6:10, 33; Luke 4:18–19; Romans 14:17)
THE
RETURN OF CHRIST
We believe Jesus Christ will return and God’s Kingdom will be fully realized.
Therefore, Christians live with hope, faithfulness, expectancy, and commitment to God’s mission while awaiting Christ’s return.
(Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; Revelation 22:12, 20)
