We believe that Jesus Christ is God. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed many miracles, shed His blood on our behalf, taking our place on the cross as our substitute, paying the penalty for our sins; was buried, bodily resurrected, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return literally, visibly, and personally in glory and power.

We believe that the Holy Spirit is God, co-equal and co-existent with the Father and the Son. He is the primary one who convicts and convinces the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment (John 16:8) and is also the primary one who brings new life (regeneration) and sanctification.

We believe in God the Father, an everlasting, infinite, perfect personal being who is the sovereign and rightful ruler of all that exists. The Father is perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, and love.

We believe the Bible to be the verbally inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, and the supreme and final authority in doctrine and practice.

We believe there is one God, that the Father and the Son and the Spirit are each God, and that the Father and the Son and the Spirit are each a distinct person.

We believe that the Triune God created all things visible and invisible for the manifestation of the glory of His eternal power, wisdom, and goodness.

Mankind was originally created with the ability to live perfectly for God’s glory. Set apart as His image bearers, every human being is sacred. All men and all women, bearing the image of God, are meant to represent God in His creation.

We believe that sin is an issue of identity before it is an issue of performance. Thus, salvation does not just forgive our sins, but brings new life in Christ. This is a gift of God. Therefore, we believe that the salvation of lost and sinful mankind is a free gift of God’s grace apart from human works, based solely upon Christ’s atoning death, made possible by the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit. This gift is received only through faith in the person and finished work of Jesus.

We believe that the authentic church is the body of Christ and that Christ is the head of the Church and the family of God. It is made up of redeemed believers who regularly join together for worship and fellowship while also living in community and on mission in the normal, everyday stuff of life.
