Statement of Faith

We believe the Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God and the final written authority for Christian faith, doctrine, and life.

We believe scripture is trustworthy, sufficient, and uniquely authoritative for teaching, correction, and discipleship.

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

We believe God is holy, sovereign, just, loving, and worthy of all worship and obedience.

We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and without sin.

We believe Jesus died as the atoning sacrifice for sin, rose bodily from the dead, ascended to the Father, and will return in glory.

We believe the Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, regenerates believers, and indwells, sanctifies, equips, and comforts the people of God.

We believe spiritual growth is the work of the Holy Spirit through scripture, prayer, obedience, and life within Christ's church.

We believe humanity was created in the image of God with inherent dignity and purpose, yet all people are fallen and in need of redemption because of sin.

We believe salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone, not by personal merit or religious performance.

We believe the universal church is the body of Christ, expressed through local congregations committed to worship, discipleship, fellowship, prayer, evangelism, and service.

We believe Christians are called to holiness, truthfulness, humility, compassion, and love of God and neighbor.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the saved and the lost, the final judgment, everlasting life with God for those who belong to Christ, and final separation from God for those who reject Him.

We believe the Christian life is lived in hope of the return of Christ and the renewal of all things.
