What We Believe
- We believe that there is one sovereign God eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He created the Heavens and the Earth and everything in them. He is known as Father, came as the Son and lives in believers as the Holy Spirit. Genesis 1:1, Matthew 3:16-17, John 1:1-2, Acts 2:32-33
- We believe that Jesus Christ, God’s only Son was born of a virgin, lived a perfect life, died as a substitute for us, and rose from the grave. He’s still alive and changing lives today! Colossians 2:9, Luke 1:30-35, 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, 2 Corinthians 5:21
- We believe in the Holy Spirit who convicts the world in regard to sin, righteousness and judgment, and indwells every believer comforting, guiding and equipping them for personal growth and service to Christ. John 16:8, Acts 2:38, Ephesians 1:13-14
- We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and final authority for all matters of faith and practice. It’s true, it’s accurate, it’s authentic and it’s absolutely applicable to our lives today. 2 Timothy 3:16-17
- We believe that people are not perfect. We’ve sinned. All of us. We need help. We need Him. We also need each other and that’s what Church is all about. Genesis 1:27, Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, Acts 4:12
- We believe that salvation (the forgiveness of sins) is available only by the grace of God through the blood of Jesus Christ. It’s a gift. It’s free. It’s God’s grace, not your good deeds. Jesus’ death allows your sins – all of them – to be forgiven. Wiped out, canceled, deleted, erased. John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8-9, Colossians 2:6, Acts 2:38
- We believe that those surrendering to Christ need to repent of sin (change their mind about who is in charge of their lives), confess their faith (publically acknowledge that Jesus is Lord), and be baptized into Him (immersed in water). Romans 10:9, Acts 2:38, Mark 16:16, Acts 8:36-38, Galatians 3:26-27
- We believe that the church is the Body and Bride of Christ, the hope of the world. And our mission is clear and unchanging – to bring people to a saved relationship with Jesus Christ, build them up in that relationship (making them fully devoted followers of Jesus) and then send them out in the world to make a difference for Him. Matthew 28:16-20, Ephesians 1:23, Ephesians 5:32, Colossians 1:28-29
