What We Believe
A foundation rooted in Scripture, guided by faith, and lived out through service.
Bible
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God, and we live by its values and principles.
1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:15–17; John 3:16
God
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:19; John 10:30; Ephesians 4:4-6
Church
We believe Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, living a perfect and sinless life as fully human and fully God. We believe in his sacrificial purpose to die for the sins of humanity so we can be forgiven and receive eternal life with God the Father. We believe in Jesus’ resurrection, the single most powerful proof of our faith and the establishment of Christianity.
Matthew 1:23; John 1:1-4 and 1:29; Acts 1:11 and 2:22-24; Romans 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:1-4 and 4:15.
Holy Spirit
We believe that all humans are sinful and need to be saved by the Holy Spirit. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
John 3:5-8; Acts 1:8 and 4:31; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 2:14; Galatians 5:16-18; Ephesians 6:12; Colossians 2:6-10.
Salvation
We believe that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation, and if we repent of our sins and have faith in Him, we will be transformed and renewed by the Holy Spirit.
Luke 24:46-47; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23; 2 Corinthians 5:10-11; Ephesians 1:7 and 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-7
Christ
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and that all true believers are members of His body, the Church.
1 Corinthians 12:12, 27; Revelation 20:11-15
Kingdom of God
We believe that the souls of those who place their faith in Jesus Christ and repent of their sins will be resurrected and will live forever with God the Father in heaven.
John 3:16; Matthew 4:17; Ezekiel 18:21-23;
Isaiah 55:6-7
Missions
We believe that we must dedicate ourselves to prayer, to the service of our Lord, to his authority over our lives, and to the ministry of evangelism. We believe that every person of every nation, tribe, and language should have the opportunity to hear, understand, and receive the good news.
Matthew 9:35-38, 22:37-39 and 20:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9-15 and 12:20-21; Galatians 6:10; Colossians 2:6-10; 1 Peter 3:15
Evangelism
We believe that all followers of Christ should share the message that Jesus Christ died for our sins and was raised from the dead, and that salvation is only possible by grace and faith in Him. We also believe Christ followers should help others grow in their faith through discipleship.
Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9-15;
1 Peter 3:15
