Our Core Beliefs
—
GOD
There is one living, sovereign God who eternally exists in three person: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Revelation 1:8, Isaiah 43:10-11, Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 28:19).
Jesus was sent by the Father to live on earth; he was fully God and fully human, yet had no sin. Jesus laid down his life and after, three days, rose from the grave. In doing this, Jesus fulfilled the payment for the world’s debt of sin (Luke 1:31, 35, 1 Corinthians 15:3, 2 Corinthians 5:21).
The Holy Spirit was sent by the Father and Son to convict the world of sin and to empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. He lives in every believer and is a constant helper, teacher, and guide (John 14:16-17).
—
PEOPLE
God created people in His image, and everyone matters to God (Genesis 1:26-27, Genesis 5:1-2). All people are sinners and need God’s forgiveness (Romans 3:23).
Those who confess and turn from their sin, trusting in Jesus Christ will be saved by grace and become children of God, with the promise of eternal life ( John 3:16-17, Galatians 3:26).

THE CHURCH, THE BIBLE, AND CHRIST’S RETURN
Jesus Christ is the head of all church and all believers are members (Ephesians 4:15-16).
The Bible is the inspired Word of God and is supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
Jesus Christ will return and there will be a final judgement (Matthew 24:3, 37).

MARRIAGE AND FAMILY
We believe and affirm the enduring biblical truth that marriage consists of one man and one woman united in faithfulness and fidelity (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:1-9, Mark 10:1-12, Ephesians 5:31-33).
