WHAT WE BELIEVE
The Bible: We believe that the Holy Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. It is the ultimate source of truth and our guide for faith and practice.
The Trinity: We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. They are co-equal, co-eternal, and together constitute the one true God.
The Deity of Jesus Christ: We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, sacrificial death on the cross for our sins, His bodily resurrection, and His ascension to heaven. He is the only way to salvation and eternal life.
Salvation: We believe that salvation is a gift of God's grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ alone. By repenting of our sins and accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are justified, regenerated, and adopted into God's family.
Holy Spirit: We believe in the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of every believer. The Holy Spirit convicts us of sin, indwells and empowers us, and enables us to live a godly life.
Atonement: We believe in the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, which reconciles humanity to God and provides forgiveness of sins for all who believe
Resurrection and Eternal Life: We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost. Those who have accepted Christ will be resurrected to eternal life, and those who have rejected Him will be resurrected to eternal separation from God.
Church: We believe in the universal Church, comprising all true believers in Christ. We gather together for worship, fellowship, discipleship, and to fulfill the Great Commission.
Ordinances: We recognize two biblical ordinances: water baptism by immersion, symbolizing our identification with Christ's death, burial, and resurrection, and the Lord's Supper, commemorating Christ's sacrifice and our ongoing fellowship with Him.
Spiritual Gifts: We believe in the operation of spiritual gifts, distributed by the Holy Spirit for the edification of the Church and the advancement of God's Kingdom.
Second Coming: We believe in the personal, visible, and imminent return of Jesus Christ to establish His kingdom and judge the living and the dead.
Marriage and Family: We affirm the biblical definition of marriage as the union between one man and one woman. We cherish the importance of family, honoring God's design for marriage, parenting, and relationships.
This doctrinal statement represents the core beliefs of The Church and serves as a foundation for our faith and practice. It is subject to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and may be revisited, but not contradicted or compromised, as we grow in our understanding of God's Word.
