• The Bible

We believe the scriptures, both the Old and New Testament, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man. We believe the Word of God is true, sufficient, and gives us instruction to live a life of both faith and conduct.

• 2 Timothy 3:15-17
• 1 Thessalonians 2:13
• 2 Peter 1:21

• God

We believe the one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent "I AM," the Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed himself as three persons: the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit (also known as the Trinity).

• Deuteronomy 6:4
• Isaiah 43:10,11
• Matthew 28:19

• Jesus

We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, and as the son of God was entirely human and entirely divine. We believe in his virgin birth (Matthew 1:23), his sinless life (Hebrews 7:26), his miracles (Acts 2:22), the sacrifice he made on the cross for the atonement of our sins (1 Corinthians 15:3), his bodily resurrection from the dead (Matthew 28:6), and his coming physical return for those who love him (Revelation 19:11-14).

• The Fall

We believe Man was created good as in the “likeness” of God, however, voluntary fell to sin and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God.

• Genesis 1:26,27
• Genesis 2:17
• Romans 5:12-19

• Salvation

We believe that Man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God, and that anyone who accepts Jesus’ offer of forgiveness from our sins will be saved.

• Luke 24:47
• John 3:3
• Romans 10:13-15

• Sanctification

We believe freedom from sin, or sanctification, initially occurs at the point of salvation and is not only a declaration that a believer is holy in God’s sight, but is also a progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christlike. Although we are saved by grace, we believe the actions of a saved believer give evidence to a life dedicated to Jesus.

• Romans 12:1,2
• 1 Thessalonians 5:23
• Hebrews 13:12

• Holy Spirit

We believe all Christ followers are invited to receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit when they experience salvation from their sins. The Holy Spirit helps us to resist sin, encourages us, gives us boldness for witnessing, and a the power to live a life for Christ. All Christians should seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit just as believers were filled in the New Testament times.

• Luke 24:49
• Acts 1:4
• Acts 1:8
• 1 Corinthians 12:1-31

• Gifts of the Spirit

We believe all of the gifts of the Spirit as seen in scripture are in use today. These spiritual gifts are distributed according to God’s will and enable believers to experience God’s supernatural power. The spiritual gifts equip the Body of Christ for ministry and we should seek them eagerly while realizing not all believers will experience every spiritual gift. Spiritual gifts should be used in a God-honoring and orderly way.

• 1 Corinthians 12:1-31
• 1 Corinthians 14

• Healing

We believe divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is a privilege to that can be sought by all believers. We believe that God still divinely heals those who are sick according to His purpose and plan, and that we can ask for healing while simultaneously trusting God’s sovereign plan. We believe healing can also occur through the hands of medical professionals given supernatural wisdom to take care of his children. We have seen testimonies of divine healing, and impossible reports from medical professionals in our very own community.

• Isaiah 53:4,5
• Matthew 8:16,17
• James 5:14-16

• The Church

We believe the Church of God is the “body” of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God’s offer of redemption through the sacrificial death of His Son, Jesus Christ. We believe the Church has a mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin, building a body of Christ-followers being perfected in the image of His Son, and meeting human need with ministries of love and compassion. In this way, we believe being a part of a church community is crucial to the development and health of a Christ-following believer.

• Ephesians 1:22,23
• Ephesians 2:22
• Mark 16:15-20
• Galatians 2:10; 6:10
• James 1:27

• The Return of Christ

We believe that Jesus is coming again for His Church in the future, at a date and time unknown to mankind. After the return of Christ, there will be final judgment and punishment of sin for those whose names are not written in the Book of Life. They will be condemned to hell for eternity. Those in Christ will enjoy eternal life with the Lord in Heaven. “But in keeping with his promise, we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.” – 2 Peter 3:13

• All People

We believe that people of every ethnicity, age, and background are made in God’s image and are meant to be loved and presented with God’s good news. As Christ so loved “the world-“ and that means every one of us.

• John 3:16

• Marriage

We believe the Bible clearly describes God’s design for marriage. God intends marriage to be a lasting & committed relationship between one man and one woman. This bond is also a reflection of the lasting, committed relationship between Jesus and His Church.

• Matthew 19:4-6
• Genesis 2:23-24
• Ephesians 5:25
