Our Beliefs

What we believe about Jesus, the Bible, and the Church

  • God the Father

    We believe that there is one Almighty, Holy, and loving God, eternally existent in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. As our Heavenly Father, God has revealed himself both through his creation and his Word so that we might come to know, enjoy, and glorify him forever.

  • Jesus

    We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the second person of the Trinity. In love, he willingly came down from heaven, lived a perfect life on earth, was crucified on a cross, died, was buried, and then rose to new life. By the blood of his sacrifice on the cross, all those who repent of their sins and confess the name of Jesus will be given eternal life. As a church, we longingly await the return of Jesus!

  • Holy Spirit

    We believe that the Holy Spirit is not an impersonal force or abstract power, but rather the third God-person of the eternal, omniscient, and holy Trinity alongside God the Father and God the Son. The Holy Spirit indwells, comforts, convicts, counsels, teaches, reminds, declares to, and empowers believers as he to glorifies Jesus.

  • Sin

    We believe that sin, the prideful breaking of God’s will and commands, is universal and that each man is guilty of sin and falls short of the glory of God. Sin separates us from God, robs us of peace and joy, and ultimately leads to death and judgment.

  • Salvation

    We believe that salvation is that act of God in which a man’s sins are forgiven, his relationship with God is restored, he is sealed with the Holy Spirit, adopted into God’s family as a son or daughter of God, and he is granted the gift of eternal life. To receive salvation, one must repent of sin and believe by faith in the name of Jesus.

  • Baptism

    We believe that baptism is an obedient step of faith for all those who have repented of their sins and come to faith in Jesus. Baptism by immersion is a symbolic expression of a believer uniting in the death and resurrection of Jesus. Since baptism is a commandment, we encourage all believers in Jesus to be baptized.

  • The Church

    We believe that the church is the body of Christ on earth that exists to glorify God. The local church is a community of believers that regularly gathers to worship, pray, take communion, and hear the Word of God. The church is the place where you can be encouraged in your faith as well as provide opportunities for you to use your God-given passion and spiritual gifts.

  • The Word of God

    We believe that the Bible is the inspired, revealed, and inerrant Word of God and contains all that man needs to know to find salvation in Jesus and be equipped to lead a life pleasing to God. We encourage everyone to read and study the Bible as well as to obey its commandments and live by its principles.
