We believe in the divine inspiration of the Bible, that it is the true and inspired word of God. We believe that the Bible is our standard for life, and its truth, integrity, and relevance is of utmost importance. The Bible is not just a book, but a living guide, full of God’s wisdom and guidance. Through scripture, we learn about God’s character, how to live and act, and how to grow in our spiritual journey. We believe that by reading and studying the Bible, we are able to draw closer to God and deepen our understanding of His love.

2 Timothy 3:16-17; Psalm 119:105; Hebrews 4:12; John 5:39; Psalm 19:7-14

We believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He is the central figure of Christianity, the Word of God made flesh. Jesus was sent by God to be the ultimate sacrifice for our sins so that we could enjoy an eternal life with Him. Jesus’ teachings on love, forgiveness, humility, and repentance are at the core of our beliefs. We also believe in Jesus’ resurrection, that it was proof of His deity and the promise of eternal life for all those who believe. We are called to follow Jesus, to live lives of holiness, and to share the good news of the gospel. As we learn to love and serve others, we are reminded of Jesus’ example of love and sacrifice.

Philippians 2:5-11; Colossians 1:15-23; John 1:14; Genesis 3:15; Isaiah 53

We believe in salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus was sent by God to save us and give us eternal life. Salvation is only possible through faith in Jesus and repentance of our sins. We understand that we are saved through grace and not by any works of our own. The Bible teaches us that no matter what mistakes we make, God’s love and grace are always available to us. We believe that through accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are able to have the assurance of salvation and the promise of eternal life with God.

John 14:6; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 1:29; Genesis 3:15; Genesis 22:13-14

We believe in the importance and practice of full immersion baptism. This discipline symbolizes a believer's commitment to Jesus and His teachings, and is an outward expression of publicly confessing our faith in Him. We believe that baptism is essential to Christian discipleship, and by celebrating baptism, we are proclaiming our faith in Jesus and our desire to serve Him and others.

Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:38; Romans 6:4; 1 Peter 3:21

We believe in the Trinity, which is the doctrine that God is one, eternally existing in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. They are all uniquely and fully God, yet each distinct from the other. Though difficult to explain and comprehend, the clearest example is a mathematical analogy that God is best described through multiplication as opposed to addition. Rather than thinking of the Trinity as 1 + 1 + 1 = 3, we better understand Him as 1 x 1 x 1 = 1. By embracing the Trinity, we can have a deeper relationship with the Lord and better understand His will for our lives.

Matthew 3:13-17; Matthew 28:18-20; Deuteronomy 6:4; John 1:1; Genesis 1:26; John 14; Colossians 1:15

We believe the Father is the creator and sustainer of the universe. He loves, guides, and provides for humanity, just as a father would for his children. He is holy, perfect and righteous;all- powerful, all knowing and ever present. From creation to redemption, the Father has completed, and is completing, His work through the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Genesis 1:1; 1 John 4:7-12; 1 Timothy 6:15-16; Job 38-39; Exodus 3

We believe in the Holy Spirit, who is the third person of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit is the unifying power between God and humanity, and is the source of our comfort, guidance, and strength. The Holy Spirit helps us to understand and appreciate the Bible, and helps us to live out its teachings in our lives. We believe that the Holy Spirit is with us always, faithfully guiding us in our walk with God. We also believe that the Holy Spirit gives us gifts such as wisdom, knowledge, understanding, healing, miracles, tongues, and prophecy so that we can be used to serve God and spread His love.

John 14:26, 16:7-11; Genesis 1:2; Romans 8:9-11; Galatians 5 :13-26; 1 Corinthians 2:12-15; 1 Corinthians 12 - 14

We believe in the power of prayer, both individually and communally. Prayer is an essential part of a Christian life and is used not merely as a ritualistic practice, but a means to a relationship with God. Through prayer, we are practicing our privilege to draw closer to the Father, become more like the Son, and dwell with the Holy Spirit. When we pray, we open ourselves up to God and He will answer us in His own way and in His own time.

Philippians 4:6-7; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18; James 5:16; Mark 11:24

We believe Jesus has commissioned us all to share with the world the Good News of the gospel that Jesus saves. Those who say “yes” to following Jesus are the true family of God, the Church. The number one thing Jesus said He wants His followers to be known for is our love; the kind of love that cares more for others than for ourselves; the kind of love that sacrifices, gives and serves; the kind of love that Jesus modeled. As the church, we want to echo the life of Jesus to the world, and we are never more like Jesus than when we give and when we serve.

Matthew 28:18-20; John 13:34-35; Philippians 2:1-4; Ephesians 5:25-32; Hebrews 10:23-25
