In essentials, unity. In non-essentials, liberty. In all things, love
Statement of Faith
The Bible
The Bible is God's inspired, authoritative, and all-encompassing Word. It is our complete guide for life and faith, and we are rooted in it as we grow in our relationship with Jesus.
2 Timothy 3:16
The Trinity
We believe in one eternal God who exists as three persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:19
God the Father
We believe in God the Father, the Creator of heaven and earth. He is holy, sovereign, and full of steadfast love. He invites us into relationship with Him and cares for us as a good Father.
Ephesians 4:6
Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, born of the Virgin Mary, came to earth as fully God and fully human. He lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, and rose from the dead. Through Him we have forgiveness, new life, and hope. He will return to make all things new.
John 1:1, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is fully God. He convicts, comforts, empowers, and transforms us. We are dependent on Jesus through the Holy Spirit, who fills us, leads us, and forms us into the image of Christ. We believe the Holy Spirit equips every believer with spiritual gifts to strengthen, serve, and edify the body of Christ for the work of His Kingdom.
John 14:26, Galatians 5:25 1 Corinthians 12:8–10
Humanity
We were created in the image of God for relationship with Him. Sin has broken that relationship and left us in need of rescue. Every person is deeply loved by God and invited into new life through Jesus.
Genesis 1:27, Romans 3:23
Salvation
Salvation is a gift of grace received by faith in Jesus Christ alone. Through His death and resurrection, we are forgiven, made new, and brought into relationship with God.
Ephesians 2:8-9, John 14:6
The Church
The Church is the family of God, a people centered on prayer, formed by His presence, and sent with purpose for His glory. We are called to love one another, grow together in unity, gather regularly and make disciples who live on mission.
Acts 2:42, Matthew 28:19-20
Baptism
Baptism is a step of obedience, an outward expression of our inward faith in Jesus Christ. Through baptism we identify with His death and resurrection and publicly demonstrate our commitment to follow Jesus.
Matthew 28:19, Romans 6:3-4
Communion
We believe Communion is a sacred ordinance given by Jesus Christ to remember His sacrifice on the cross. As we partake of the bread and the cup, we proclaim His death, celebrate the grace we have received through Him, and look forward to His return. Communion is a meaningful expression of our faith, unity as the body of Christ, and ongoing dependence on His finished work.
1 Corinthians 11:23–26, Luke 22:19–20
Family
We believe God created marriage as a covenant between one man and one woman, reflecting the relationship between Christ and His Church. Husbands and wives are called to love and serve one another with mutual respect and sacrificial love. Children are a blessing from God and Scripture guides us as we raise our children to love and follow Jesus. We also believe the Church is called to be a spiritual family that supports, encourages, and strengthens families.
Genesis 2:24, Ephesians 5:22-33, Psalm 127:3, Ephesians 6:4
