The Bible is inspired by God, is fully trustworthy and is the basis for everything we believe. We believe the Bible is God’s Word about who He is, who we are and why we’re here. Scripture can be reliable to instruct and guide us in becoming all God created us to be. 

2 Timothy 3:15-17; Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21

God has eternally existed in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The three are coequal and are one God. Genesis 1:1, 26, 27, 3:22 Psalm 90:2 Matthew 28:19 2 Corinthians 13:14

Genesis 1:1, 26, 27, 3:22 Psalm 90:2 Matthew 28:19 2 Corinthians 13:14

Men and women are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God as a result of “original sin.” Sin separates us from God and causes many problems in our life.

Genesis 1:27 Isaiah 53:6 Romans 3:23 Isaiah 59:1-2 Psalm 139:13-16 Colossians 2:13-15

Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless human life, performed miracles, died on the cross for our sins, rose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven, is present with the church today and will return again someday to earth to reign as King.

We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and no one else. Salvation is a gift from God, not a result of our good works or of any human effort.

Matthew 1:22, 23 Isaiah 9:6 John 1:1-5, 14:6 Hebrews 4:14-15 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 Romans 1:3-4 Acts 1:9-11 Ephesians 2:8-9 Colossians 2:9-10 1 Timothy 6:14-15

People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life in Heaven. Heaven and hell are real places of eternal existence.

John 3:16, 14:17 Romans 6:23 Revelation 20:15 Philippians 2:5-11 Matthew 25:31-34, 41

The public profession of inward faith in following Jesus as Lord and Savior. It is also a step of obedience based on God’s commands and allows us to follow the example of Jesus, who submitted himself to baptism to “fulfill all righteousness.”

Matthew 3:16-17, 28:18-20 Acts 2:41, 8:12 Romans 6:4 Colossians 2:12

A unique time of communion in the presence of God when the elements of bread and grape juice (the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ) are taken in remembrance of Jesus’ sacrifice on the Cross.

Matthew 26:26-29; 1 Corinthians 10:16, 11:23-25

We believe the Holy Spirit empowers and leads the church to fulfill the ministry and mission of the church. The church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of Jesus’ Great Commission. Every person who is born of the Spirit is an integral part of the church as a member of the body of believers. There is a spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Acts 1:8 Ephesians 1:22, 2:19-22; Hebrews 12:23; John 17:11, 20-23

We believe God’s Spirit is active in the world today as described throughout scripture. We also believe that we can be filled with God’s Spirit who empowers us to live and serve with spiritual gifts that are available to us today. These gifts always operate in harmony with the Scriptures.

Hebrews 2:4; Romans 1:11, 12 :4-8; Ephesians 4:16; 1 Timothy 4:14; 2 Timothy 1:6-7; 1 Cor. 12:1-31, 14:1-40; 1 Peter 4:10

Jesus Christ will physically and visibly return to earth for the second time to establish His Kingdom. This will occur at a date undisclosed by the Scriptures.

Matthew 24:30, 26:63-64; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8; Revelation 1:7
