What We Believe

The Bible is God’s Word and Jesus Christ is the Source of our Salvation.

Scripture

We hold the Bible close to our hearts as God’s Word—true, trustworthy, and beautifully inspired by the Holy Spirit. It is the final authority for faith and life. Through the Scriptures, God reveals Himself, His plan for salvation, and His purpose for the world. We read the Bible not only for information but for transformation—believing it speaks today with power, clarity, and truth. Therefore, the Bible is our final authority for faith and practice and is necessary for our daily lives, continually pointing us toward the person of Jesus.

2 Timothy 3:16–17; 1 Peter 1:23–25; Hebrews 4:12

The Trinity

God the Father is the source of life and love, who purposes the redemption of the world.
Jesus Christ, the Son, is fully God and fully human—our Savior who lived without sin, died for our sins, rose again, and now reigns as Lord. He will return to establish His Kingdom.
The Holy Spirit is present and active today, drawing people to God, transforming hearts, and empowering believers to live on mission.

Psalm 90:2; John 1:1, 14,John 14:16–17

Sin

We believe sin reveals the deep brokenness of the human heart and the world. It separates us from God, distorts our relationships, and diminishes our purpose. We recognize both personal sin and the sinful condition into which all humanity is born.

Yet sin does not have the final word. Through Jesus Christ, God meets us with forgiveness, healing, and freedom, inviting us into a restored life shaped by love and holiness.

Romans 3:23; Genesis 6:5; Isaiah 59:2; 1 John 1:8–9; Romans 6:23

Repentance

We believe repentance is a gracious turning of the heart and life toward God. It is more than regret—it is a surrender that leads to freedom, renewal, and transformation. Through repentance, God reshapes our desires and redirects our lives toward holiness and purpose.


Acts 3:19; 2 Corinthians 7:10; Luke 15:7; Romans 2:4; Proverbs 28:13

Salvation / Justification

We believe salvation is God’s gracious work through Jesus Christ, rescuing sinners and restoring relationship with God. Justification is God’s act of forgiving sin and declaring us righteous through faith—not by works, but by grace.


Ephesians 2:8–9; Romans 5:1; Romans 3:22–24; Galatians 2:16; Titus 3:4–7

Grace

We believe God’s grace is active throughout the whole journey of faith. Grace goes before us, receives us, and continually transforms us; drawing us toward holiness and love.


John 6:44; Romans 2:4; Ephesians 2:8–9; Romans 5:1–5; 1 Thessalonians 5:23–24

Holiness

We believe God calls all believers to holiness-a life shaped by love for God and neighbor. Christian perfection is mature love, formed by grace, that frees us from willful sin and grows us in Christlikeness.

Matthew 22:37–40; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 12:14; 1 John 4:18; Philippians 3:12–14

Church & Sacraments

We believe the Church is the Body of Christ, called together to worship, grow in faith, and bear witness to the gospel. The Church is both local and universal, united by the Holy Spirit and sent into the world for God’s mission.

1 Corinthians 12:12–27; Ephesians 4:1–6; Acts 2:42–47

We believe the sacraments—Baptism and the Lord’s Supper—are outward signs of inward grace and means through which God nourishes faith and strengthens love.


(Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:3–4; Luke 22:19–20; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26)

People

We believe all people are created in the image of God and possess inherent dignity and worth. Though broken by sin, every person is invited into the grace-filled life God offers
through Jesus Christ.

Genesis 1:26–27; Psalm 8:4–6; Romans 5:8; John 3:16; Titus 2:11

Stewardship

We believe God is the source of all blessings and that everything we have is entrusted to us for His glory and the good of others. Faithful stewardship includes our time, talents, relationships, and resources.

Psalm 24:1; 1 Corinthians 4:1–2; 2 Corinthians 9:6–8; Matthew 25:14–30; Luke 16:10–11

Return of Christ

We believe Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly to judge the living and the dead, establish His Kingdom, and make all things new. Until that day, we live in hope-watching, praying, and working faithfully.

Matthew 24:30–44; Acts 1:9–11; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Matthew 25:31–46; Revelation 21:1–5
