We believe in one God, eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
God is the Creator and Sustainer of all things. He is holy, loving, just, merciful, sovereign, and worthy of all worship.
(Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
We believe the Holy Scriptures are inspired by God and are authoritative for Christian faith and practice.
The Bible reveals God’s character, God’s redemptive purposes, and God’s will for humanity and points us ultimately to Jesus Christ.
(2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21; Psalm 119:105; John 5:39)
We believe God created humanity in His image and endowed every person with inherent dignity and worth.
Human beings were created for relationship with God, with one another, and with God’s creation.
(Genesis 1:26–27; Psalm 8:4–6)
We believe humanity’s rebellion against God brought sin, brokenness, and death into human experience.
Sin separates humanity from God, and no person can restore that relationship through human effort alone. We all stand in need of God’s grace.
(Genesis 3:1–19; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12; Romans 6:23)
We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human, the eternal Son of God.
He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, lived without sin, proclaimed the Kingdom of God, died for our sins, was bodily raised from the dead, ascended to the Father, and will come again.
(John 1:1, 14; Luke 1:35; Hebrews 4:15; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Acts 1:9–11)
We believe salvation is God’s gift, made possible through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ—not by our own works or merit.
(John 3:16; Romans 10:9–10; Ephesians 2:8–9; Titus 3:5)
We believe that those who place their faith in Jesus Christ are justified by God’s grace.
Through Christ, we are forgiven, declared righteous, reconciled to God, and brought into a new relationship with Him.
(Romans 3:23–26; Romans 5:1; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 2:16)
We believe the Holy Spirit indwells believers and empowers us to live transformed lives.
The Spirit convicts, comforts, teaches, guides, sanctifies, gives spiritual gifts, produces spiritual fruit, and empowers the Church for witness and service.
(John 14:16–17, 26; Acts 1:8; Galatians 5:22–23; 1 Corinthians 12:4–11)
We believe salvation begins a lifelong process of spiritual transformation.
Through the work of the Holy Spirit, believers are called to grow in holiness, character, love, obedience, and Christlikeness.
(Romans 12:1–2; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Philippians 2:12–13; 1 Thessalonians 4:3)
We believe the Church is the Body of Christ and the community of God’s redeemed people.
The Church exists to worship God, proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, nurture believers, serve humanity, pursue justice and mercy, and bear witness to God’s Kingdom in the world.
(Matthew 28:19–20; Acts 2:42–47; 1 Corinthians 12:27; Micah 6:8)
We believe Jesus Christ gave the Church sacred practices through which we publicly remember, proclaim, and celebrate our faith.
Baptism bears witness to our identification with Christ, and the Lord’s Supper remembers and proclaims His sacrificial death until He comes.
(Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:3–4; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26)
We believe God’s Kingdom was uniquely revealed and inaugurated through Jesus Christ and will ultimately be fulfilled according to God’s purposes.
As followers of Jesus, we are called to embody Kingdom values through love, truth, justice, mercy, reconciliation, service, and faithful witness.
Matthew 4:17; Matthew 6:10, 33; Luke 4:18–19; Romans 14:17
We believe in the resurrection of the dead, God’s final judgment, and eternal life.
Our ultimate hope is not death but resurrection. Those who belong to Christ will dwell eternally with God, and God’s redemptive purposes will ultimately triumph.
John 5:28–29; John 11:25–26; 1 Corinthians 15:51–57; Revelation 21:1–5
We believe Jesus Christ will return and God’s Kingdom will be fully realized.
Therefore, Christians live with hope, faithfulness, expectancy, and commitment to God’s mission while awaiting Christ’s return.
(Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; Revelation 22:12, 20)
