Our Statement of Faith
ABOUT THE BIBLE
The Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God, written by human authors under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme revelation of God to mankind, superior to human reason and conscience, and the final authority for all matters of faith, doctrine, and Christian living.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 | 2 Peter 1:20-21 | Psalm 119:105, 160 | Proverbs 30:5
ABOUT GOD
There is one God, eternally existing in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — distinguishable but indivisible, co-equal in nature, power, and glory.
Genesis 1:26 | Matthew 3:16-17 | Matthew 28:19 | John 1:1-4 | 2 Corinthians 13:14
ABOUT JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is fully God and fully man, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, died on the cross as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people, rose bodily from the dead on the third day, and ascended to heaven. He will return personally, visibly, and bodily to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords.
Isaiah 9:6 | Matthew 1:22-23 | John 1:1-14 | Romans 1:3-4 | 1 Corinthians 15:3-8 | Philippians 2:5-11 | 1 Timothy 6:14-15 | Titus 2:13
ABOUT HUMANITY
Man and woman were created in the image of God, the supreme objects of His creation, formed to reflect His character and enjoy relationship with Him.
Genesis 1:26-27 | Psalm 8:3-6
ABOUT SIN
Sin is the transgression of God's standard in thought, word, and action, and every person is born with a sinful nature inherited from Adam. As a result, mankind is spiritually separated from God and powerless to attain righteousness through self-effort. The consequence of sin is death, but God's grace through Jesus Christ provides complete forgiveness and restoration for all who believe.
Genesis 2:16-17 | Romans 3:23 | Romans 5:12 | Romans 6:23 | James 4:17
ABOUT SALVATION
Salvation is provided by God's grace alone, through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. No amount of good works can produce justification before God. All who turn from self-rule to Christ, believing in His resurrection and confessing Him as Lord, are forgiven, redeemed, and made new. The evidence of true salvation is a holy life expressed through righteous works.
Romans 10:9-10, 13 | Ephesians 2:8-10 | Titus 3:5
ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit, co-equal with the Father and the Son, convicts the world of sin and draws people to faith in Jesus Christ. He indwells every believer at the moment of salvation and fills us with God's presence and power for a transformed life. The Holy Spirit leads and guides believers into truth, gives wisdom for daily living, and empowers us to live boldly for Christ and overcome sin. He distributes spiritual gifts to the Church — including healing, wisdom, prophecy, and many others — so that believers can serve one another and make Christ known in the world. We welcome the Spirit's ongoing work of guidance, healing, and power in the life of every believer.
John 16:7-13 | Acts 1:8 | Romans 8:14 | 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 | Galatians 5:22-23 | Ephesians 5:18
ABOUT THE CHURCH
The Church is the Body of Christ, both universal and local, composed of all who have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit through faith in Jesus. Christ is the Head and Lord of the Church. Her mission is worship, evangelism, discipleship, and the nurture and care of one another.
Matthew 28:18-20 | Colossians 1:18 | Ephesians 2:19-22
ABOUT MARRIAGE
We believe God created marriage to be exclusively the covenant union between one man and one woman, as instituted in creation and affirmed by Jesus Christ. Sexual intimacy is reserved for that union alone. Because of marriage's foundational importance to family and society, we are committed to teaching, protecting, and upholding God's design for it.
Genesis 2:24 | Matthew 19:4-6 | Ephesians 5:31 | Malachi 2:14-16
ABOUT BAPTISM AND COMMUNION
We believe in two sacraments given to the Church: Water Baptism, an outward declaration of a believer's identification with Christ's death, burial, and resurrection; and Holy Communion, the ongoing remembrance of Christ's body and blood given for us until He returns.
Matthew 28:19 | Acts 2:38-39 | Matthew 26:26-30 | 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
ABOUT ETERNITY
We believe in eternal life in the presence of God for all who believe and receive Christ as Lord. Those who reject Him are eternally separated from His presence — a reality Scripture calls the second death. We look with hope to the personal return of Jesus Christ and the restoration of all things.
John 3:16-17 | John 14:1-3 | Acts 3:19-21 | Revelation 21:8 | Revelation 11:15
These statements reflect the heart of what we believe, though they don't capture the full depth of God's Word. Our Senior Pastors, Pastoral Team and Board carry the responsibility of teaching, guarding, and — when needed — clarifying these truths for our church family.
