Our Beliefs
What we believe
About God
There is one true God. He is almighty and eternal.
God eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each have distinct personal attributes, but together they are one God. (Genesis 1; John 14; Ephesians 1)
Jesus Christ is 100% Man and 100% God. He was born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died on the cross and rose from the grave. His sacrifice on the cross is the only way for our sin to be forgiven and for us to have a relationship with God. (John 1:1-5; 12-14)
The Holy Spirit is God who lives within the Christian upon belief in Christ. He empowers the Christian to live a godly life and comforts in times of sorrow. (Ephesians 1:13-14; John 14:16-17)
What we believe
About You and I
God created man perfectly in His image. (Genesis 1:26)
Man has sinned by our own choice, having fallen from God’s perfect standard. This sin separates mankind from God and results in spiritual death. (Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12; Romans 6:23)
Jesus provided for our sin to be covered and forgiven by his death on the cross, burial and resurrection. (2 Corinthians 5:21)
One cannot be saved by his or her own works. People must individually place their faith in Jesus Christ to receive the gift of salvation. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
All who trust Jesus Christ for salvation are eternally secure in Him and will not experience ultimate spiritual death. (John 3:16)
What we believe
About the Bible
The Holy Bible is inspired by God and perfectly captures His instruction to us. (2 Timothy 3:15-17)
The Bible tells the story of God’s love for man, man’s disobedience, and God’s eternal redemption of man starting with the beginning of time until the end of time.
What we believe
About the Church
Jesus established the church to be the vehicle for the gospel to spread throughout the world. (Matthew 28:19-20)
God established the local church for Christians to live within Biblical community for Biblical instruction, growth in Godliness, and evangelism. (Ephesians 4:11-14)
We believe that each Christian should be committed to and submitted to a local body of believers. (Hebrews 10:24-25)
There are two pictorial ordinances in the church: Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Scriptural baptism is the immersion of repentant believers in water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Lord’s Supper is a memorial of the death of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Matthew 28:19-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-32)
What we believe
About the Future
The Scriptures clearly teach that Jesus bodily resurrected from the dead. He now exists in His glorified body at the right hand of the Father. (1 Corinthians 15; Luke 22:69; Hebrews 10:11-14)
In the imminent future, Jesus will return to receive His people to Himself. At this point, there will be a resurrection of both the saved and the unsaved. The bodies of the saved will conform to the glorified body of Christ, and the bodies of the unsaved be relegated to eternal separation from God. (Matthew 28:1-10; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
