BIBLE - We believe the Bible is God’s infallible and authoritative word that was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance and inspiration of the Holy Spirit. 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21, 2 Timothy 1:13, Psalm 119:105
TRINITY- We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Although each member of the Trinity serves different functions, they each possess equal power and authority. Isaiah 61:1, Mark 1:9-11, John 5:21-23, Romans 8:9-11, 1 Corinthians 8:6
GOD- We believe God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe and is all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present, never-changing, completely trustworthy, and holy. His very essence is good. He is our loving Father who is faithful to His people and His promises. Genesis 1:1, Genesis 1:26-27, Psalm 90:2
JESUS- We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God that lived a completely sinless human life, and is the only person to be completely human and completely God. We believe in His atoning death through His shed blood on the cross; in His bodily resurrection; in His ascension to the right hand of the Father; and will return again to reign as King of Kings. Isaiah 9:6, John 1:1-5, Hebrews 4:14-15, Romans 1:3-4, Acts 1:9-11
HOLY SPIRIT- We believe the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity and is equal with the Father and the Son as God. We believe He lives in every believer from the moment of salvation and enables them to live a godly life. We further believe His power and gifts are available to believers today. 2 Corinthians 3:17, John 16:7-13, Acts 1:8, 1 Corinthians 2:12, Ephesians 1:13
SALVATION- We believe salvation comes as a result of believing that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who was crucified, died, and rose from the dead as a sufficient payment for the sins of man. Salvation is a free gift from God to all, and cannot be earned through our own efforts. It is only by trusting in Jesus Christ that we can be saved from an eternal separation from God. Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9, John 1:12, John 14:16, Titus 3:5, Galatians 3:26
CHURCH- We believe the church was birthed on the day of Pentecost and is a community of believers who are unified through faith in Jesus Christ dedicated to share the hope of Christ to the world through love, good deeds, and the message of the Gospel. We further believe that Christian’s should not forsake gathering together and should be planted in, serving in, and growing with a local church family. Matthew 16:18-19, Acts 2:41-47, 1 Corinthians 12, Ephesians 5:22-32, Hebrews 10:25
