Statement of Faith
We are passionate about historical & biblical sound doctrine. Despite our ever-shifting culture, we hold firm to the truths rooted in God's Word.

The Word of God
We believe Scripture is one continuous story from Genesis to Revelation, illuminating creation, the fall, sanctification, and the redemption of mankind through the sacrifice of Jesus. Every chapter and book of the Bible points to Him. We believe that Scripture is inerrant (without error) and inspired by God to be used for teaching, correction, and training in righteousness, holding all authority in both faith and conduct for our lives. We believe that scripture is alive and active, discerning the thoughts and intentions of our hearts and meant to sanctify us and wash us. (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20-21, Hebrews 4:12, Ephesians 5:26-27, John 17:17, Luke 24:27, Luke 24:44. John 5:46)
-
God the Father
We believe in the Lord our God as one, eternally existing in three persons. God the Father, separate and distinct from the person of the Holy Spirit and the Son, yet all three are co-equal and co-eternal, and together they are the one God, worthy of all worship and praise. (Genesis 1:26, Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 3:16-17, Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 1:21-22, John 10:30)
-
Jesus the Son
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, that He is Immanuel “God With Us” in the flesh. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, atoning death through His shed blood on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, and in His ascension to the right hand of the Father and His impending return to restore all of creation. (John 1:1-14; Philippians 2:6-8, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, Matthew 1:18-25, Isaiah 7:14, Hebrews 4:14-15, Acts 10:38, 1 Peter 2:22)
-
The Holy Spirit
We believe in the deity of the Holy Spirit as a person distinct but equal to the Father & Son with all divine attributes. He is present and active in the world today. He convicts of sin, glorifies Jesus, comforts, guides, and gifts the believer for the building of the kingdom and the sanctification of the Bride in worship, service, and evangelism. The Holy Spirit indwells all believers, sealing them for the day of redemption. (John 14:26, John 14:16-17, Acts 1:8, Romans 8:9-11, John 16:7-15, Ephesians 1:13)
-
Humanity & Salvation
We believe every human is designed by our Creator intentionally and made in His image. God uniquely designed humans to be either male or female. All life is inherently valuable from conception. Yet through Adam & Eve, humanity fell and now holds a nature of sin, making each human in need of redemption and restoration. This restoration is only possible through the substitutionary atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross for those who repent and believe they have access to be in relationship with God again. His Spirit then equips us to live a life surrendered to Him and His Will instead of our own. We believe that salvation is a gift from God, freely offered to all who repent of their sins and place their faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. Salvation is by grace, through faith, that no one may boast. The one who surrenders and confesses with their mouth that Jesus is Lord of their lives will be saved. (Genesis 6:5, Romans 3:23, Psalm 51:5, Romans 5:12-14, Romans 3:9-18, Ephesians 2:1-3, Isaiah 5:20, Psalm 58:3, John 5:40, 1 Timothy 2:5, John 3:16-17, 1 Peter 2:24-25, Acts 2:38, Ephesians 2:8-9, Acts 16:31, Titus 3:5, Romans 10:9)
-
The Church
We believe the Church is the Bride of Christ. The Church is also the body of Christ being built up together for the dwelling of God. In worship, the Church communes, and prays together thus making disciples, teaching them, and spreading the gospel. The Church together plays an active role in the sanctification process alongside each other to encourage, bring truth, love, growth, and endurance to the body. (Matthew 28:18-20, 1 Corinthians 12:27, Acts 2:42-47, Titus 1:1-15, Ephesians 4:15-16, Ephesians 2:21-22).
-
Christ’s Return
We believe in the second coming of Jesus Christ, when He will return in glory to judge the living and the dead. He will make all things new. Those who have trusted in Him will enter into a redeemed creation. He will make a new heaven and a new earth, and He will dwell with the Bride forever. Those who have rejected Him will face eternal separation from God. (Acts 1:11, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, Romans 8:19, Revelation 20:11-15, Revelation 21:1-7)
