What We Believe.
Why It Matters.

Our Statement of Faith outlines the core biblical truths that shape our teaching, worship, and life together. Rooted in Scripture, these beliefs guide what we hold about God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, salvation, and the Church. As you explore these truths, we invite you to deepen your understanding of God and the foundation of our faith.

GOD

There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit

  • Deuteronomy 6:4
  • Isaiah 43:10,11
  • Matthew 28:19
  • Luke 3:22

JESUS CHRIST

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth; in His sinless life; in His miracles; in His substitutionary work on the cross; in His bodily resurrection from the dead; in His ascension and exaltation to the right hand of the Father

  • Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:31,35
  • Hebrews 7:26; 1 Peter 2:22
  • Acts 2:22; 10:38
  • 1 Cor. 15:3; 2 Cor. 5:21
  • Matthew 28:6; Luke 24:39; 1 Cor. 15:4
  • Acts 1:9,11; 2:33; Philippians 2:9-11; Hebrews 1:3

BIBLE

The Bible is the inspired Word of God, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct

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

Man, the Fall and Redemption

Man was created good and upright (Genesis 1:26,27). However, man by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God (Genesis 2:17; 3:6; Romans 5:12-19).

The only means of being cleansed from sin (salvation) is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ (Luke 24:47; John 3:3; Romans 10:13-15; Ephesians 2:8; Titus 2:11; 3:5-7)

The Ordinances of the Church

  • Baptism in Water (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 10:47,48; Romans 6:4)
    All who repent and believe on Christ as Savior and Lord are to be baptized by immersion. By doing so, they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they also have been raised with Him in newness of life.
  • Holy Communion (1 Cor. 11:26)
    The Lord’s Supper, consisting of the elements – bread and the fruit of the vine – is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ; a memorial of His suffering and death; and a prophecy of His second coming.

Baptism in the Holy Spirit

All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the baptism in the Holy Spirit which is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives them utterance (Acts 1:8; 2:4)

We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life (Romans 12:1,2; 1 Thes. 5:23; Hebrews 12:14; 13:12; 1 Peter 1:15,16).

The Church

The Church is the body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, who will fulfill the Great Commission of winning souls and making disciples (Matt. 28:19,20; 1 Cor.12).

Divine Healing

Divine healing (deliverance from sickness) is provided for in the Atonement and is the privilege of all believers (Isaiah 53:4,5; Mat. 8:16,17; James 5:14-16).

The Second Coming

The blessed hope of the Church is the Rapture of the Church at Christ’s coming (Rom. 8:23; 1 Cor. 15:51,52; 1 Thes. 4:16,17; Titus 2:13). The Second Coming of Christ includes the rapture of saints, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to reign on earth for one thousand years (Zech. 14:15; Mat. 24:27,30; Rev. 1:7; 19:11-14; 20:1-6).

There will be a final judgment in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works. Whoever is not found written in the Book of Life, together with the devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, will be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake of fire which is the second death (Matt. 25:46; Mark 9:43-48; Rev. 19:20; 20:11-15; 21:8).

There will be New Heavens and the New Earth (2 Peter 3:13; Rev. 21,22)
