We believe the Bible is God’s Word to all people (Deuteronomy 4:1-2), revealing the true
story of God, humanity, sin, redemption, and reconciliation (2 Peter 1:20-21; Hebrews 1:1-2). Scripture consists of sixty-six books: thirty-nine books of the Old Testament and twenty-
seven books of the New Testament. Inspired by God, the Bible is the ultimate source of
truth. It is infallible, authoritative, without error in the original writings, and wholly relevant
for daily living.

Proverbs 30:5; Psalm 119:11, 89, 105; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 

We believe in one eternal God who exists as three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Each person is fully God, yet there is only one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; Acts 5:3-4; John 1:1-3; Isaiah 9:6) God is sovereign over all things, seen and unseen, and created all things for His glory (Isaiah 43:7; Jeremiah 10:12; Colossians 1:15-20)

We believe God the Father is the Creator of heaven and earth (Genesis 1:1). He is all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present, unchanging, and entirely worthy of our trust (Jeremiah 10:12). The Father is holy, loving, compassionate, and faithful to His people, keeping every promise. (1 John 4:8; Romans 5:8; Psalm 103:8). He planned redemption and sent His son into the world to accomplish His purpose (John 3:16; Galatians 4:4; Ephesians 1:9–10).

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God (John 3:18). In obedience to the Father, He secured redemption for humanity, revealing God’s love and upholding divine justice through His sacrificial death (John 6:38; Hebrews 10:10). By removing the guilt of sin, He restored humanity to a right relationship with God (Romans 8:33-39). After His resurrection, He ascended to heaven and will one day return to earth to reign as King (Philippians 2:9-11; Matthew 24:30-31).

We believe the Holy Spirit is present in the world to reveal humanity’s need for Jesus (John 15:26; John 16:8-11; 1 Corinthians 12:3). He unites believers to Jesus Christ through faith, dwelling within them from the moment of conversion (Ephesians 4:3). The Holy Spirit empowers Christians for righteous living, grants understanding of spiritual truth, and guides them to live according to God’s will (Romans 8:4; Galatians 5:16; John 14:26). He convicts people of sin (John 16:8), provides comfort (John 14:26), bestows spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:4-11), intercedes on their behalf (Romans 8:26), and shapes believers to become more like Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18).

We believe God created human beings, male and female, in His image to rule over all things on earth in a perfect relationship with Him (Genesis 1:26-27; Psalm 8:3-8). Humanity is the pinnacle of God’s creation; from conception, each person is made to reflect His character and purpose. The first two human beings, Adam and Eve, were created to complement each other in a one-flesh union, establishing the model for a perfect relationship and the only normative context for marriage, with sexual relations confined to that union (Genesis 2:24). By their own choice, Adam and Eve sinned, bringing the curse upon humanity, resulting in lifelong hardship and eternal separation from God (Genesis 3:14-19; Ephesians 2:1-3). From that time forward, every person has lived with the effects of sin and its consequences (Isaiah 59:2-15; Romans 3:10, 23; Colossians 1:21; Ephesians 2:8-9).

We believe that salvation is entirely a work of God’s free grace, not based in whole or in part on human works, goodness, religious ceremonies, or status (Ephesians 2:8-9). By acknowledging that we are sinners in need of a Savior, we receive God’s gift of grace, confessing with our mouths and believing in our hearts that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He alone atones for our sins. (Matthew 1:21; Luke 1:68-69; John 1:12, 3:16; Acts 2:21; Romans 10:9-10, 13; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4). In Christ, we become new creations; we exchange our sins for His righteousness, receive eternal life, a restored relationship with God, and the assurance of being freed from condemnation (Isaiah 1:18; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Galatians 2:20).

We believe that by His Word and by His Spirit, God created the universal Church – the body of all believers – calling sinful people into fellowship with Himself (Ephesians 4:4-6). The Church is not a religious institution or denomination; rather, it is the body of Christ, made up of those who follow Jesus (1 Corinthians 12:12-13). The Church exists to worship and serve God by doing His will and has been called to preach the gospel and make disciples to transform the world (Matthew 28:18-20). The Holy Spirit has equipped the Church to nurture maturity and growth in its people (1 Corinthians 12:7). Every member of the body of Christ is to be a vital, committed part of a local church, equipped for ministry to one another and to the world (Romans 12:1-8).

We believe that, as revealed in His Word, God will bring this world to an end at His appointed time. (2 Peter 3:7-10). Jesus Christ will fulfill His promise to return physically to earth in glory (John 14:1-3). At that time, the dead will be raised, and Jesus will judge all people in righteousness (1 Thessalonians 4:16). According to Scripture, each person will receive their due reward for what they have done on Earth: the righteous, based solely on their faith in the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ, will dwell forever with the Lord in heaven in resurrected and glorified bodies, while the unrighteous, having rejected God’s provision for their sins, will face eternal separation from God in hell, a place of eternal punishment (2 Corinthians 5:10; 2 Thessalonians 1:9).
