Our Beliefs
We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion. We seek unity in essentials and recognize freedom on secondary doctrines.
The Bible
We believe the 66 books of the Bible are God’s divinely inspired Word (given to man, without error), so that we may know and understand the truth of God and His love. It is the ultimate and final authority on all Christian beliefs and living.
2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Psalms 12:6, 119:105
God
There is one God who eternally exists in three distinct persons (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit). God the Father is our Creator, Ruler and Provider. God created all that exists from nothing out of love. God rules and sustains all things through His divine power. God providentially operates in human history to fulfill His plan of salvation.
Deuteronomy 6:4; 1 Corinthians 8:4; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Matthew 28:19; Genesis 1:1; Psalm 90:2; Romans 11:33-36
Jesus
Jesus is fully God yet humbled himself to become God’s Son (a human born of a virgin). Jesus lived a sinless life. His undeserved death on a cross was an acceptable substitute for the sins of humanity. Jesus physically rose from the dead and ascended to the Father where He reigns as our King and mediator. Jesus will visibly return one day to end this age and judge all mankind.
John 10:30; Philippians 2:5-8; Matthew 1:23-25; John 10:15; Romans 3:24-25; 1 Peter 2:24; Matthew 28:6; Luke 24:38-39: Acts 2:30-31: Romans 4:25; Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:25; 1 John 2:1; John 5:22-23; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 2 Corinthians 5:10
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit draws sinners to Christ. When we accept Christ as our Savior, we will receive the Holy Spirit to live inside us. The Holy Spirit empowers believers to live like Christ, to help us understand the Bible, strengthens our prayer life, and equips us to serve the church.
1 Corinthians 12:4-6; Acts 1:8; John 16:7-13; 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; 1 Peter 1:2
Humanity
All people are made in the image of God. We are created out of love to be like Him and glorify Him. We are created with tremendous potential for good and the ability to choose good or evil. All people at some point choose disobedience to God, which is called sin. Sin results in alienation from God, which affects every area of our lives. Sin causes suffering in our world and the need for a Savior.
Genesis 1:27; Isaiah 53:6, 59:1-2; Romans 3:23; Psalms 139:13-16; Colossians 2:13-15
Salvation
All people choose to rebel against God and are in need of salvation, which cannot be purchased or earned. The Gospel is the Good News of salvation provided by Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection. This is a free gift of God that can be received through faith. It is available to anyone who accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Faith is expressed in repentance, baptism by immersion, and a life submitted to Christ.
John 3:16; Acts 4:12; Acts 2:38-40; Romans 5:10; 6:23; 10:10; Ephesians 2:8-10
