What We Believe

The Bible

We believe that the Bible is the inspired and authoritative Word of God, without error in its original manuscripts. It serves as the ultimate guide for faith and practice.

The Trinity

We believe in one God who exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, each fully God yet distinct in role.

Jesus Christ

We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, sacrificial death on the cross for the redemption of humanity, bodily resurrection, ascension to heaven, and eventual return in power and glory.

Salvation

We believe that salvation is a gift of God’s grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ alone. It is not earned through good works but is freely given to all who repent of their sins and trust in Christ for forgiveness.

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the Holy Spirit, who convicts the world of sin, regenerates the believer, indwells and empowers the Christian for godly living, and bestows spiritual gifts for the edification of the church.

The Church

We believe in the universal church, the body of Christ, consisting of all believers, and the local church, a community of baptized believers who gather for worship, fellowship, discipleship, and mission.

Ordinances

We believe in the two ordinances instituted by Christ: baptism by immersion for believers as a symbol of their identification with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection, and the Lord’s Supper as a commemoration of Christ’s sacrificial death until He returns.

Eternal Destiny

We believe in the bodily resurrection of all people, the eternal existence of both the saved in heaven and the lost in hell, and the imminent return of Christ to establish His kingdom on earth.

Mission

We believe in fulfilling the Great Commission by making disciples of all nations, baptizing them, and teaching them to obey all that Christ has commanded.

Unity

We believe in the unity of believers across denominational and cultural lines, striving to maintain the bond of peace and love as we serve together in Christ’s name.
