The Trinity
We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are coequal and coeternal, each fully God and united in purpose and essence.

Jesus
We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, and died on the cross as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all humanity. He rose from the dead on the third day and ascended to the right hand of the Father, where He intercedes for us. He will return again in power and glory to establish His Kingdom.

The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is fully God and plays a vital role in the life of every believer. The Holy Spirit regenerates, empowers, and guides believers into all truth. He provides spiritual gifts to build up the Church (such as prophecy, healing, speaking in tongues, etc.); these gifts are given for the edification of the Church and are to be used in accordance with biblical principles.

The Bible
We believe that the Bible, in its original writing, is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. It is the final authority in all matters of faith, doctrine, and conduct. The Scriptures provide all we need for teaching, correction, and training in righteousness.
Scripture References: 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21, Proverbs 30:5
Scripture References: 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21, Proverbs 30:5
Heaven and Hell
We believe that Heaven is the eternal dwelling place of all who have trusted in Jesus Christ for salvation. Hell is the place of eternal separation from God for those who reject the Gospel. After living one life on Earth, every person will face judgment and either eternal life or eternal separation from God.

End Times
We believe in the second coming of Jesus Christ. He will return physically and visibly to establish His Kingdom. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost—those who are saved will live eternally in the presence of God, and those who reject Christ will face eternal judgment.
Scripture References: Matthew 24:30, Acts 1:11, Revelation 20:12-15
Scripture References: Matthew 24:30, Acts 1:11, Revelation 20:12-15
Salvation
We believe that salvation is a gift of God’s grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ. It is not earned by good works or human effort. Through faith in Jesus' death and resurrection, we are justified, forgiven, and made new in Him. Salvation is available to all who confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in their heart that God raised Him from the dead.

Scripture References: Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 10:9-10, John 3:16
Sanctification
We believe that sanctification is the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit in believers, transforming them to reflect the character of Christ. As we yield to the Holy Spirit and follow God’s Word, we are continually being made holy, set apart for God’s purposes.
Scripture References: Romans 12:1-2, 1 Thessalonians 4:3, 1 Corinthians 6:11
Scripture References: Romans 12:1-2, 1 Thessalonians 4:3, 1 Corinthians 6:11
The Church
We believe that the Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit. Every believer is an integral part of the Church, which exists to worship God, edify the saints, and fulfill the Great Commission by sharing the Gospel with the world. We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in Jesus Christ.

Scripture References: Ephesians 1:22-23, Colossians 1:18, Matthew 28:19-20
Prayer and Worship
We believe prayer is our ongoing conversation with God, and worship is our heartfelt response to His greatness. We believe in a life of prayer, seeking God’s presence, guidance, and strength in every area of life. Worship is central to our expression of faith, and we are called to praise God in spirit and truth.
Scripture References: Ephesians 6:18, John 4:24, Psalm 150:6
Scripture References: Ephesians 6:18, John 4:24, Psalm 150:6
Sacraments: Baptism and Communion
We believe in two sacraments instituted by Jesus: water baptism and the Lord's Supper (Communion). Baptism is a public declaration of faith in Christ and symbolizes our death to sin and new life in Him; it is different than salvation. The Lord’s Supper is a sacred time of communion with God, where we remember Jesus' sacrifice through the elements of bread and the cup.
Scripture References: Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
Scripture References: Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
Marriage and Sexuality
We believe that marriage is a sacred covenant ordained by God, designed to be between one man and one woman. Sexuality is a gift from God and is to be expressed within the bounds of marriage. We affirm that God’s design for gender is fixed at birth and that believers are called to honor God through their relationships and sexual purity.
Scripture References: Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6, Ephesians 5:31-32
Scripture References: Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6, Ephesians 5:31-32
Healing and Spiritual Gifts
We believe that healing is a part of Jesus’ ministry and is available to believers today. God heals according to His will and purpose. The Holy Spirit provides gifts such as healing, prophecy, and miracles to strengthen and build up the Church. These gifts should always operate in harmony with Scripture.
