Statement of Faith

We believe that God spoke the universe into existence out of nothing, creating the heavens

and the earth in the manner and order recorded in Genesis. We believe humanity was

created intentionally in the image of God, male and female, as the crowning act of His

creation — not as the product of chance, but of divine purpose and design.

Genesis 1:1, 1:27; Colossians 1:16; Psalm 33:6

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit —

equal in power and glory, distinct in person, yet undivided in essence. Each person of the

Godhead is fully God, working in perfect unity in creation, redemption, and the ongoing life

of the Church.

Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Deuteronomy 6:4.

 We believe the Bible, in its entirety, is the inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God.

It is the final standard for all matters of faith, doctrine, and conduct, and it stands sufficient

to guide the life of every believer and the direction of the Church.

2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21; Psalm 119:105

We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, born of a virgin, who lived a sinless life,

died a sacrificial death on the cross for the sins of humanity, and rose bodily on the €third

day. His work of redemption is complete — nothing can be added to what He accomplished,

and nothing further is required to satisfy the debt of sin.

John 19:30; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Hebrews 10:12–14

We believe salvation is a free gift of God, received by grace alone through faith alone in

Jesus Christ — not earned or maintained by human works or merit. It is God’s initiative and

provision from beginning to end, offered freely to all who believe.

Ephesians 2:8–9; Romans 10:9–10; Titus 3:5

We believe the Holy Spirit distributes spiritual gifts to every believer for the building up of

the Church, the edification of the body, and the advancement of God’s Kingdom. We believe

these gifts remain active and available today, and are to be exercised in love and in good

order.

1 Corinthians 12:4–11; Romans 12:6–8; 1 Corinthians 14:40

We believe that those who are truly born again through faith in Jesus Christ are kept by the

power of God and sealed by the Holy Spirit unto eternal life. Salvation, once genuinely

received, cannot be taken away — the believer’s security rests not in their own strength, but

in the faithfulness of God.

John 10:28–29; Ephesians 1:13–14; Romans 8:38–39

We believe water baptism by immersion is a public declaration of a believer’s faith,

identifying them with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We believe

communion, the Lord’s Supper, is a sacred remembrance of Christ’s broken body and shed

blood, to be observed regularly by the Church in honor of His sacrifice until He returns.

Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:3–4; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26

We believe the Church is the body of believers united to Christ, called out, set apart, and

cherished by Him as His bride. We believe Christ loves the Church sacrificially, is preparing

her for His return, and calls her to walk in purity, unity, and devotion as she awaits the

marriage supper of the Lamb.

Ephesians 5:25–27; Revelation 19:7–9; 2 Corinthians 11:2

We believe marriage was instituted by God as the sacred, covenantal union of one man and

one woman, established at creation as the foundation for the family. We believe this design

reflects the relationship between Christ and His Church and is worthy of honor and

protection.

Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4–6; Ephesians 5:31–32
