What we believe.
The Holy Bible
The Bible is the authoritative Word of God and the final authority for doctrine and truth. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20–21)
The Trinity
There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—coequal and co-eternal. (Matthew 3:16–17; 28:19)
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is God the Son, fully God and fully man. He lived without sin, died for our sins, rose from the dead, ascended to the Father, and will return in power and glory.
Salvation
We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ—His death, burial, and resurrection. Salvation is God’s gift, not the result of human effort. (Ephesians 2:8–9; Romans 10:9–10)
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit regenerates, indwells, equips, and empowers believers to live for Christ and share the Gospel. (John 14:17; Acts 1:8; Titus 3:5)
The Church
The Church is the Body of Christ, united in Jesus and called to worship, grow, serve one another, and fulfill the Great Commission. (Ephesians 1:22; Matthew 28:18–20)
Baptism & Communion
We practice water baptism following faith in Jesus and the Lord’s Supper in remembrance of His sacrifice. (Matthew 28:19; 1 Corinthians 11:23–25)
Healing
We believe God still heals and invites the Church to pray in faith for the sick. (James 5:14–16; Isaiah 53:5)
Resurrection & Eternity
Jesus rose bodily from the dead. We believe in resurrection, eternal life with God for believers, and the visible return of Jesus Christ.
