Statement
of Faith

We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.

The Bible

We believe the Holy Bible is the inspired, true, and authoritative Word of God, given by the Holy Spirit, and is our final authority for faith, doctrine, and how we live.

2 Timothy 3:16–17 · Psalm 19:7 · 2 Peter 1:20–21

God

We believe in one true and living God, who exists eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — equal in power and glory.

Deuteronomy 6:4 · Matthew 28:19 · 2 Corinthians 13:14

Jesus Christ

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, fully God and fully man, born of a virgin, who lived without sin, died on the cross for our sins, rose bodily from the dead, and now reigns as Lord. He is the only way to the Father.

John 1:1, 14 · Isaiah 7:14 · 1 Corinthians 15:3–4 · Acts 4:12

Salvation

We believe salvation is by God’s grace alone, through faith in Jesus Christ, not by our own works. All who repent and trust in Christ are forgiven, made new, and given eternal life.

Ephesians 2:8–9 · Romans 10:9–10 · Acts 3:19 · 2 Corinthians 5:17

The Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, leads people to Christ, lives in every believer, and empowers us to live holy lives and serve God.

John 16:8 · Romans 8:9–11 · Galatians 5:22–23 · Acts 1:8

The Church

We believe the Church is the body of Christ, made up of all believers, and that local churches exist to worship God, teach the Word, encourage one another, and share the gospel.

1 Corinthians 12:27 · Hebrews 10:24–25 · Matthew 28:19–20

Baptism and the Lord’s Supper

We believe Jesus commanded believers to be baptized and to remember Him through the Lord’s Supper as acts of obedience and worship.

Matthew 28:19 · Romans 6:3–4 · Luke 22:19 · 1 Corinthians 11:23–26

Christian Living

We believe followers of Jesus are called to love God, love others, turn away from sin, and live in obedience to God’s Word by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 22:37–39 · Romans 12:1–2 · John 14:15 · Micah 6:8

The Return of Christ and Eternity

We believe Jesus Christ will return, the dead will be raised, and God will judge all people. Those who belong to Christ will live with Him forever, and those who reject Him will face eternal separation from God.

John 14:3 · 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 · Revelation 20:11–15
