Beliefs

GOD

God is the Supreme Creator, Redeemer, and Ruler of the universe. He is the eternal, triune God–God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

JESUS

Jesus is God’s Son and God the Son, fully God and fully man, was born of a virgin, lived a perfect, sinless life, died on a cross for the sins of mankind, rose from the dead on the third day, and ascended to heaven where He lives to make intercession for His bride, the Church. Salvation for every human being is found only in trusting the person of Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross. One day, Christ will return for all who belong to Him.

THE HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit is the invisible presence of God who convicts of sin and calls people to Christ. He lives in every true believer and gives power to live the victorious Christian life.

SCRIPTURE

The Bible is the inerrant and inspired Word of God. The Bible was written by human authors moved along by the Holy Spirit and is true without any mixture of error. Its intended purpose is to reveal God’s plan of redemption and salvation for mankind and all creation through His Son, Jesus Christ.  The Bible is authoritative for us because God extends His authority through His Word.

THE CHURCH

The Church is all the redeemed of all ages. The local church is an autonomous, self-governing body of believers–operating under the lordship of Christ through appointed leadership and some democratic processes. The pastor, elders, ministry staff, deacons, committees, ministry teams, and lay leaders are selected by the church body to lead the church.

SALVATION

Salvation is the grace-filled work of God to completely save a broken humanity and creation for Himself. It involves turning from sin to God and faith in Christ. Salvation includes the process of conversion, sanctification, and glorification.
