Statement of Faith

The Triune God

We believe in one God, eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—three distinct Persons, equal in essence, glory, and majesty, living in perfect unity while fulfilling distinct roles according to His sovereign will.



Jesus Christ

We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. As the eternal Son of God, He willingly took on human flesh through the miraculous work of the Holy Spirit in the virgin Mary, according to the Father's perfect plan, becoming the Son of Man to reconcile sinful humanity to a holy God. He lived a sinless life, died an undeserved death on the cross as the only sufficient sacrifice for sin, rose bodily from the grave, ascended to the Father, and now reigns as Lord.

Salvation

We believe that because of His great love, the Father sent His only Son to accomplish our redemption. Salvation is by God's grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ alone. His atoning death is fully sufficient to pay the penalty for sin. All who repent, believe the gospel, and confess Jesus Christ as Lord are forgiven, adopted into God's family, and given eternal life. Those who belong to Christ demonstrate the reality of their faith through joyful obedience to His Word.

The Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer at the moment of conversion. He regenerates, sanctifies, teaches, convicts, comforts, and empowers God's people to understand God's Word and to live lives worthy of their calling.

The Holy Scriptures

We believe God has revealed Himself through the Holy Scriptures. The original writings were inspired by the Holy Spirit and have been faithfully preserved through the generations. The Bible is God's sufficient, trustworthy, and final authority for faith, doctrine, correction, and training in righteousness.

The Church

We believe every believer is part of the priesthood of believers and has been uniquely gifted by God to serve His purposes. These gifts are to be exercised for God's glory and the building up of His Church. We believe baptism does not save but is an act of obedience that publicly identifies the believer with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We are called to worship, disciple one another, proclaim the gospel, and faithfully live in the fellowship and accountability of a local church.

The Christian Life

We believe God created us to glorify Him and enjoy Him forever. We best fulfill this purpose by accurately reflecting His character to the world—holding together His Truth and His Love without diminishing either. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we pursue holiness, love our neighbor, serve faithfully, and seek first the Kingdom of God.

Our Blessed Hope

We believe Jesus Christ will personally return to establish the New Heaven and the New Earth. We eagerly await our inheritance in Him, when all things will be made new, righteousness will dwell forever, and God's people will joyfully reign with Christ in His eternal Kingdom.

Our Mission

Until that day, we are committed to living with a view of eternity. We seek to faithfully steward every gift, opportunity, and calling God has entrusted to us, knowing that our labor in the Lord is never in vain. We desire to glorify God by making disciples, serving His Church, reflecting His character, and proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ until He comes. We long to hear our Savior say, "Well done, good and faithful servant."
