Our Statement of Faith — the foundation of all we teach and live by.
The Holy Scriptures
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word of God — written by men moved by the Holy Spirit — and is our ultimate authority for faith, life, and godly conduct.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 · 2 Peter 1:20-21 · Hebrews 4:12
The Triune God
We believe in one true and living God, the Great I AM, Creator of Heaven and Earth, eternally existing in three co-equal, co-eternal persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Genesis 1:26 · Matthew 28:19 · 2 Corinthians 13:14
God the Father
We believe God the Father is the Creator and Sustainer of all life, who lovingly adopts believers as His children, giving us identity and sonship.
Romans 8:15-17 · 1 John 3:1
Jesus Christ, the Son of God
We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully man, born of a virgin and without sin, who came to redeem creation and reconcile us to the Father.
Isaiah 7:14 · Matthew 1:18-23 · John 1:1-5 · John 14:6
The Blood & Resurrection of Jesus
We believe Jesus died on the cross, bearing our sin and punishment, was buried, and rose again in victory with the keys of hell and the grave. He ascended to the Father and lives to make intercession for us. Only by His blood are we redeemed.
Matthew 12:40 · Colossians 1:14 · Hebrews 9:22 · Romans 8:34
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead — our comforter, counselor, teacher, and helper — who convicts the world of sin and empowers believers to be witnesses of Jesus.
John 14:16-17, 26 · Acts 1:8 · John 16:7-8
The Gospel & Salvation
We believe salvation is the free gift of God, received by grace through wholehearted faith and surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ — believing He died for our sins and rose again — accompanied by genuine repentance.
John 3:16 · Ephesians 2:8-9 · Romans 10:9-10 · Acts 2:38
Baptism in Water
We believe water baptism is the outward declaration of dying with Christ and rising with Him in newness of life, uniting the believer with His death, burial, and resurrection.
Matthew 28:19 · Romans 6:3-11
Baptism in the Holy Spirit
We believe the Baptism of the Holy Spirit empowers believers to be witnesses to the nations, and that praying in a heavenly language is one evidence of being filled with the Spirit.
Acts 1:4-8 · Acts 2:1-4
Communion
We believe communion is the sacred participation in the body and blood of Christ, by which we remember His sacrifice and proclaim His death until He comes.
Luke 22:19-20 · 1 Corinthians 10:16-17
The Gifts & Fruit of the Spirit
We believe every believer is given gifts of the Spirit to minister to others and advance the Gospel, and that the true mark of a believer is the fruit of the Spirit reflecting Christ's character.
1 Corinthians 12:7-11 · Romans 12:6-8 · Galatians 5:22-23
Sanctification
We believe sanctification is the ongoing work of God's grace that teaches us to walk in righteousness and purity, transforming us into the image of Christ.
Romans 12:1-2 · 1 Thessalonians 5:23 · Hebrews 13:12
The Great Commission
We believe it is the mandate of every believer to preach the Gospel, walk in the power of the Spirit, and make disciples of all nations.
Matthew 28:18-20 · Mark 16:15-18
The Church & Five-Fold Ministry
We believe the Church is the Body of Christ, the temple of God through the Holy Spirit, and that He gave the five-fold ministry — apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher — to equip the saints for the work of ministry.
Ephesians 1:22-23 · Ephesians 4:11-15
Love
We believe in the power and necessity of love, for we are commanded to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, and mind, and to love our neighbor as ourselves.
Matthew 22:37-40 · 1 John 4:7-8
The Sanctity of Marriage
We believe in the sanctity of marriage as a covenant between one man and one woman, and that we are called to walk in holiness and purity before the Lord.
Genesis 2:24 · Hebrews 13:4 · 1 Peter 1:15-16
The Hope of Our Salvation
We believe in the resurrection of those who have died in Christ and their gathering, together with those who are alive, at the coming of the Lord — this is the blessed hope of our salvation.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 · 1 Corinthians 15:51-55
The Final Judgment
We believe there will be a final judgment in which all will be judged according to their works, and those not found written in the Book of Life will be separated from God forever.
Matthew 25:46 · Revelation 20:11-15
A New Heaven & New Earth
We believe the first heaven and the first earth will pass away, and God will create a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells forever.
2 Peter 3:13 · Revelation 21:1
