The Scriptures Inspired 01
We believe the Bible is inspired by God and trustworthy. It guides what we believe and how we live, helping us know Jesus and follow Him with confidence.
Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21
The One True God 02
We believe there is one true God who reveals Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is loving, holy, and personal—He invites us into a real relationship with Him.
Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19
The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ 03
We believe Jesus is fully God and fully man. He lived a sinless life, showed us the heart of God, and has authority to forgive and save.
Scripture: John 1:1–4, 14; Colossians 2:9
The Fall of Man 04
We believe humanity was created good, but sin entered the world through disobedience. Sin affects every part of life and separates people from God—something we can’t fix on our own.
Scripture: Genesis 3:1–24; Romans 3:23
The Salvation of Man 05
We believe salvation is God’s gift through Jesus—received by faith, not earned. When we repent and trust Christ, God forgives us, makes us new, and welcomes us into His family.
Scripture: John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8–9; Romans 10:9–10
The Ordinances of the Church 06
We practice water baptism and Communion as meaningful acts Jesus gave His Church. Baptism shows our new life in Christ, and Communion helps us remember His sacrifice and grace.
Scripture: Matthew 28:19; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26
The Baptism in the Holy Spirit 07
We believe the Holy Spirit empowers believers for life and mission. The baptism in the Holy Spirit is a special empowering experience that helps us witness, serve, and follow Jesus with boldness.
Scripture: Acts 1:8; Acts 2:1–4
The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit 08
We believe the New Testament describes speaking in tongues as the initial outward sign of the baptism in the Holy Spirit. We understand this can be unfamiliar, and we’re always happy to explain it with care and clarity.
Scripture: Acts 2:4; Acts 10:44–46; Acts 19:6
Sanctification 09
Sanctification means God is making us more like Jesus over time. It’s a lifelong journey of growth—learning to love what God loves and turning from what harms us.
Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:3; 1 Peter 1:15–16
The Church and Its Mission 10
We believe the Church is the people of God—not just a building—sent to share the good news of Jesus and serve the world with love.
Scripture: Matthew 28:19–20; Acts 2:42–47
The Ministry 11
We believe God calls and equips people to lead, teach, shepherd, and serve. Ministry exists to build up the Church and help people follow Jesus in everyday life.
Scripture: Ephesians 4:11–12; 1 Peter 4:10–11
