What We Believe

The Bible

We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. It’s the foundation for our personal lives and how we function as a church (2 Timothy 3:16). It is our final authority and guide in all matters of faith and practice.

God is eternal, all-powerful, and the Creator of everything (Psalm 90:2).
He exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14).
God is perfectly holy and righteous (Isaiah 6:3), and He loves every person (John 3:16).
He has complete knowledge and wisdom (Romans 11:33).

Jesus Christ is God in human form. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and died on the cross (John 1:1, 1:14, 1 Timothy 3:16)
His death was a sacrifice for sin, offering forgiveness and eternal life to all who believe (Hebrews 10:12).
He rose from the dead, ascended to heaven, and is alive today (1 Corinthians 15:3–8).

Every person has sinned and needs salvation (Romans 3:23; Acts 4:12).
Salvation is not earned by good works or religious rituals, but is a gift from God, received by faith in Jesus Christ (Titus 3:5; Ephesians 2:8–9).
Those who trust in Jesus are born again and given new life (John 3:3).
God desires for everyone to be saved and sent His Son to make that possible (1 Timothy 2:4–6).

The Church—the body of Christ—began on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came (Acts 2:1–3; 1 Corinthians 12:13).
Every believer is part of this body. Local churches are made up of believers who have been baptized and who follow the teachings of the New Testament.
We gather regularly for fellowship, prayer, Bible teaching, and to observe the Lord’s Supper (Acts 2:41–42).
We meet in the name of Jesus Christ, recognizing His authority and central place in everything we do (Matthew 18:20; Colossians 1:18).
Leadership in the local church is provided by elders who lead by example and serve the church family (1 Peter 5:3).
Each local church is independent and accountable directly to the Lord (Hebrews 13:17; Revelation 2–3).
The Holy Spirit lives in every believer, empowering us for service and worship (Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 12:4, 7).

Jesus Christ will return—first to take His church to be with Him (1 Thessalonians 4:13–18), and later to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords (Revelation 19:11–16).
Those who reject God’s offer of salvation will face final judgment and eternal separation from God (Revelation 20:11–15).
God's desire is for all to be saved, which is why Jesus gave His life for us on the cross (1 Timothy 2:4–6; 1 Peter 1:18–21).
