Scripture
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, fully true, and the final authority for faith and life. God breathed Scripture, and it equips the believer for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 • 2 Peter 1:20-21 • Psalm 19:7-11
The One True God
We believe in one God who exists eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:19 • Deuteronomy 6:4 • 2 Corinthians 13:14
Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus is fully God and fully man, eternally existent, born of a virgin, sinless, and worthy of worship. He came to reveal the Father and to save sinners.
John 1:1-14 • Colossians 2:9 • Matthew 1:18-23 • Hebrews 4:15
The Death and Resurrection of Jesus
We believe Jesus died for our sins according to the Scriptures, was buried, and rose bodily on the third day. His blood secures redemption, and His resurrection secures our living hope.
1 Corinthians 15:3-4 • Romans 5:8-9 • 1 Peter 1:3
Salvation by Grace Through Faith
We believe salvation is God's gift, received by grace through faith in Christ alone. Works do not save. True faith results in a changed life and good fruit.
Ephesians 2:8-10 • Titus 3:5 • Romans 3:28 • James 2:17 • Matthew 7:16-20

Assurance and Perseverance
We believe God keeps His people, and genuine conversion shows itself over time through perseverance, obedience, and fruit.

We believe the Holy Spirit is God, who indwells believers, seals them, convicts of sin, gives power for witness, produces fruit, and equips with gifts for ministry.

Romans 12:1-2 • 1 Thessalonians 4:3 • John 17:17 • Philippians 2:12-13
The Church
We believe the Church is the body of Christ made up of all true believers. Christ is the Head of the Church. The Church exists to worship God, make disciples, teach Scripture, practice fellowship, and proclaim the gospel.
Ephesians 1:22-23 • Colossians 1:18 • Acts 2:42-47 • Matthew 28:18-20
Ordinances: Baptism and the Lord's Supper

Romans 6:3-4 • Colossians 2:12 • Matthew 28:19-20 • 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
Humanity, Sin, and the Need for Salvation
We believe all people are made in God's image, yet all have sinned and fall short. Sin brings separation from God and eternal consequences apart from Christ.
Genesis 1:26-27 • Romans 3:23 • Romans 6:23 • Isaiah 59:2
Love, Mercy, and How We Treat Others
We believe God calls believers to love, forgive, serve, and speak truth with humility. We do not excuse sin, and we do not live to condemn people. We leave final judgment to God while calling all people to repentance and faith.
John 13:34-35 • Matthew 7:1-5 • Romans 2:4 • Galatians 6:1-2 • Micah 6:8

We believe believers are the light of the world and the salt of the earth, called to good works that glorify God.

Genesis 2:24 • Matthew 19:4-6 • Hebrews 13:4 • 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 • 1 Corinthians 6:18-20
Sanctity of Life
We believe human life is sacred because God creates it in His image, and God forms life with purpose.

Spiritual Warfare
We believe the Christian life includes spiritual conflict. Christ has authority, and believers stand firm through truth, faith, prayer, and obedience.
Ephesians 6:10-18 • 1 Peter 5:8-9 • James 4:7
Last Things
We believe Jesus will return bodily, the dead will be raised, and God will judge the world in righteousness. We believe in eternal life for the redeemed and eternal punishment for those who reject Christ.
