OUR BELIEFS

Our beliefs are rooted in Scripture and centered on Jesus Christ. These statements reflect the foundational truths that guide our faith, our worship, and how we live out the Gospel together.

FULL STATEMENT OF FAITH We are a Christ-centered church grounded in the truth of God’s Word. We believe in the triune nature of God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and in the saving grace found through Jesus Christ alone. Our faith is rooted in the authority of the Bible, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the hope of Christ’s return. We exist to spread the Gospel, make disciples, and live out our calling with love, integrity, and bold faith. UNITY In all essential beliefs—we have unity. Ephesians 4:4–6 (KJV) There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. LIBERTY In non-essential beliefs—we have liberty. Romans 14:1, 4, 12, 22 (KJV) Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. LOVE In all our beliefs—we show love. 1 Corinthians 13:2 (KJV) And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

GOD

There is one God, who eternally exists in three persons: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal, co-eternal, and distinct from each other, yet one. The doctrine of God's Triune nature is called the Trinity. For there are three that testify:"

JESUS

Jesus Christ is God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. On earth, Jesus was 100% God and 100% man. He is the only man ever to have lived a sinless life. He was born of a virgin, performed miracles, died on the cross for mankind and thus, atoned for our sins through the shedding of His blood. He rose from the dead three days after He was crucified according to the Scriptures, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return again in power and glory.

THE HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Holy Trinity who convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; and that He is the Supernatural Agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ, indwelling and sealing them unto the day of redemption. According to the Scriptures, The Holy Spirit comforts us, teaches us, gives gifts to us, reminds us of everything Jesus has spoken, and leads us into all truth.

THE HOLY BIBLE

The Holy Bible is the authoritative Word of God. It alone is the final authority in determining all doctrinal truths. In its original writing, it is inspired, infallible and inerrant.

MAN

God created Man in His own image and likeness as an upright moral and spiritual being. By voluntary transgression against God’s Word, Man fell; his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

SALVATION

The fall of man caused separation between God and all people, rendering man ultimately hopeless and in danger of eternal damnation. God in His love, not wanting anyone to perish, sent Christ into the world. The sacrificial death of Jesus, and His blood shed on the cross, provides the only way of salvation through the forgiveness of sin. Salvation occurs when people place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin. Salvation is a gift from God, and it cannot be earned through any self-effort. We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ; His death, burial, and resurrection. Salvation is a gift from God, not a result of our good works or of any human efforts.

BAPTISM

Following faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the new convert is commanded by the Word of God to be baptized in water in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

COMMUNION

A unique time of communion in the presence of God when the elements of bread and grape juice (the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ) are taken in remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross.

THE CHURCH

The Church is the local and global community of believers who acknowledge Jesus as their Savior. The Church is not a location, religious institution, or weekly event. The Church is the body of Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and made up of born-again believers who carry the divine mission of spreading the Gospel to the whole world. Locally, our church gathers every week corporately on Sundays and in small groups during the week to worship, pray, grow through biblical instruction, and to strengthen and support each other.

2ND COMING

We believe the second coming of Jesus Christ is a foundational truth of the Christian faith. Scripture teaches that His return will be personal, visible, and glorious, bringing the fulfillment of God’s plan and the establishment of Christ’s Kingdom on earth. The Bible describes key events surrounding His return, including the resurrection of believers, a time of judgment, and a period of great tribulation that prepares the world for Christ’s reign. This promise is not merely a future hope, but a divine certainty rooted in Scripture, offering assurance and hope to all who believe.
