What We Believe

The Essentials We Believe

We believe in one God, holy, eternal, and all-knowing, who exists in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, equal in nature, distinct in Person, and unified in purpose.

Gen. 1:1; Deut. 6:4; John 4:24; Matt. 28:19-20; 2 Cor. 13:14

We believe in the full deity and full humanity of Jesus Christ: His virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death on the cross, bodily resurrection, and promised return.

Matt. 1:18-25; John 1:1-3, 14; John 17:7-14; Acts 1:8-11; Rom. 3:21-31; Rom. 6:23; 2 Cor. 5:21; Phil. 2:5-8; Col. 1:15; Heb. 1:1-3; 1 Pet. 2:24-25

We believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer, producing new life, growing Christlike character, and empowering us to live and serve according to God's purposes.

John 14:16-17; John 16:8-11; Acts 5:3-4; Rom. 8:9-11, 16-17; 1 Cor. 3:16-17; 1 Cor. 6:19-20; 1 Cor. 12:1-13; Gal. 5:22-23; Eph. 1:13-14; 5:18; Titus 3:5-6

We believe the Bible is the inspired and authoritative Word of God, fully trustworthy and our complete guide for faith, life, and practice.

Matt. 5:17-18; Luke 24:27; John 10:35; Acts 17:2-3; Rom. 15:4; 2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:21; Rom. 1:18-21; Rom. 2:14-15; Acts 14:17; Acts 17:27; Ps. 19:1-6

We believe every person is made in the image of God and carries inherent dignity, and that sin has separated all people from God, making redemption necessary.

Gen. 1:26-30; Gen. 3:1-24; Ps. 51:5; Rom. 3:10-12, 23; Rom. 5:12

We believe salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. It cannot be earned. It is received as a gift through trusting in Jesus.

Acts 16:30-31; Rom. 6:23; 8:29-39; 2 Cor. 5:17-21; Eph. 2:8-10; Phil. 1:6; 1 Tim. 2:5; John 10:28

We observe baptism and communion as acts of obedience and remembrance, outward expressions of inward faith that proclaim what Jesus has done.

Matt. 26:26-30; Matt. 28:19-20; Mark 14:22-26; Acts 2:41-42; Acts 16:30-34; Rom. 6:3-5; 1 Cor. 11:23-33

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead and the return of Jesus Christ, who will make all things new. Eternal life awaits all who trust in Him.

Matt. 16:17; Matt. 24:1-25; Luke 17:20-37; John 14:1-3; 1 Cor. 15:35-38; 2 Cor. 5:6-10; 1 Thess. 4:13-5; Heb. 9:27-28; 2 Pet. 3:1-18; Rev. 20:1-22:15
