Our Beliefs

Our beliefs aren't just statements on a page – they shape who we are and how we live as a church family. Each of our core beliefs has real-world implications for how we worship, grow, and serve together.

  • The Bible

    What We Believe: The Bible is God's perfect Word to us – inspired, without error, and our final authority for life and faith.


    Why It Matters: This means that in a world of shifting opinions and changing values:

    • We look to the Bible to guide our decisions and direct our steps
    • Our teaching is rooted in Scripture
    • We help each other understand and apply Scripture to daily life
  • God

    What We Believe: There is one God who exists in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the Creator and Ruler of everything.


    Why It Matters: This shapes our entire approach to life and ministry:

    • We worship a personal God who wants relationship with us
    • We experience God's presence in our gatherings
    • We rely on His power and authority
  • Jesus

    What We Believe: Jesus is fully God and fully man. Through His death and resurrection, He provides the only way to be reconciled with God.


    Why It Matters: This changes everything about who we are:

    • We approach God with confidence because of Jesus
    • We extend grace to others because we've received grace
    • We live with purpose because Jesus gives life meaning
  • Holy Spirit

    What We Believe: The Holy Spirit lives in every believer, transforming us and empowering us for service.


    Why It Matters: This impacts how we live daily:

    • We expect God to work in and through us
    • We rely on His guidance in decisions
    • We use our spiritual gifts to serve others
    • We experience real transformation
  • Salvation

    What We Believe: Salvation comes by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone – not by our own efforts.

    Why It Matters: This shapes how we share our faith:

    • We share the hope we have found
    • We help people understand God’s invitation to relationship
    • We celebrate every story of life change
  • The Church

    What We Believe: The church is God's family – not just an organization but a living community of believers.


    Why It Matters: This affects how we do life together:

    • We prioritize relationships over programs
    • We care for each other in practical ways
    • We serve together to impact our community
  • The Future

    What We Believe: Jesus will return and make all things new, establishing His eternal kingdom.


    Why It Matters: This gives us perspective for today:

    • We live with eternal purpose
    • We invest in what lasts forever
    • We face challenges with hope
    • We work urgently to share the Gospel
  • Religious Liberty

    What We Believe: God alone is Lord of the conscience. Church and state should remain separate, with each having distinct roles and responsibilities ordained by God.


    Why It Matters: This shapes how we engage with our world:

    • We rely on spiritual means, not political power, to advance the Gospel
    • We respect governing authorities while maintaining our spiritual independence
    • We advocate for religious freedom for all people
    • We serve our community through love rather than force
