What We Believe

Our church adheres to these fundamental Christian beliefs

The Bible

We believe the Bible is God's Word, inspired by the Holy Spirit, without error in the original manuscripts, and the final authority for all Christian faith and life.

God

We believe in one God who exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each person is fully God, yet there is one God.

Jesus Christ

We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross as the substitute for sinners, rose bodily from the grave, and ascended to heaven where He now serves as our High Priest and Advocate.

Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, regenerates believers, indwells them, and empowers them for godly living and service.

Salvation

We believe salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Good works are the necessary fruit of true faith but are not the basis of our right standing before God.

The Church

We believe the church is the body of Christ, consisting of all true believers. Its mission is to worship God, build up believers in their faith, and share the gospel with the world.

The Future

We believe in the personal, visible return of Jesus Christ, the resurrection of the dead, the final judgment, and the eternal state of blessing for the righteous and punishment for the unrighteous.
