Statement of Beliefs

WE BELIEVE IN THE TRINITY

God is a complex unity. There is only one true God, but He exists eternally as three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

WE BELIEVE THE BIBLE IS THE INSPIRED WORD OF GOD

God has perfectly revealed who He is and what He commands in the Bible. The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct.

WE BELIEVE IN ORIGINAL SIN & THE FALL OF HUMANITY

Through Adam and Eve, sin has broken all humanity and creation, separating us from God and leaving the world in need of salvation.

WE BELIEVE IN JESUS

Jesus is fully God and fully man. He was concieved through the Holy Spirit and born to a virgin. Through his life, death, and resurrection, He did all that was necessary to make salvation of humanity possible.

WE BELIEVE IN SALVATION BY GRACE

Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.

WE BELIEVE IN THE GOSPEL MESSAGE

The gospel is the good news that God saves sinners through Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection.

WE BELIEVE HUMANS BEAR THE IMAGE OF GOD

Though fallen and sinful, all humans are equal in dignity and value, bearing the image of God from the moment of conception.

WE BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT & SPIRITUAL GIFTS.

The Holy Spirit is fully God. Through His ministry, He points us to Jesus, seals the believer in Christ, sanctifies believers (exhibited through the fruits of the Spirit), and continues to empower believers with the same supernatural spiritual gifts He gave the Apostles and the early church.

WE BELIEVE IN THE CHURCH

The Church is Jesus’ body on the earth. We believe God has given each person unique gifts and callings that fit and work together so that we can reach the world with the gospel message.

WE BELIEVE SATAN EXISTS

Satan hates God’s church and is determined to crush it. Satan was defeated at the cross even as we wait for his final judgment.

WE BELIEVE JESUS IS RETURNING

Jesus promised He will return to both restore creation and judge the living and the dead.

WE BELIEVE IN HEAVEN & HELL

Followers of Jesus will spend eternity with Jesus in His kingdom. Everyone who rejects Jesus will be punished with eternal separation from the presence of God.
