Our Beliefs

We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.

  • Jesus

    We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who willingly came into our world as fully man while continuing to be fully God. We believe that He lived a completely sinless life on our behalf and willingly died for the sins of the world. We believe that he physically rose from the dead, declaring victory over sin and death, and ascended to heaven where He is currently seated at the right hand of God as our advocate and intercessor.


    (Luke 1:35, Matthew 3:17, John 3:16; Colossians 1:19; Romans 8:34, Hebrews 10:1-18)



  • Salvation

    We believe in salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus was sent by God to save us and give us eternal life. Salvation is only possible through faith in Jesus and repentance of our sins. We understand that we are saved through grace and not by any works of our own. The Bible teaches us that no matter what mistakes we make, God’s love and grace are always available to us. We believe that through accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are able to have the assurance of salvation and the promise of eternal life with God.


    (Ephesians 2:8)

  • Holy Spirit

    We believe in the Holy Spirit, who is the third person of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit is the unifying power between God and humanity, and is the source of our comfort, guidance, and strength. The Holy Spirit helps us to understand and appreciate the Bible, and helps us to live out its teachings in our lives. We believe that the Holy Spirit is with us always, faithfully guiding us in our walk with God. We also believe that the Holy Spirit gives us gifts such as wisdom, knowledge, understanding, healing, miracles, tongues, and prophecy so that we can be used to serve God and spread His love.


    (1 Corinthians 6:19-20, John 14:26, Ephesians 4:30)

  • The Trinity

    We believe in one God who exists in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We believe in God as creator and sustainer of all things. We believe that God is eternal, holy, and loving.


    (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Jude 20-21)

  • The Bible

    We believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God: God-breathed and authoritative. We believe that it is the final authority, is without error, and is applicable for our daily lives.


    (2 Peter 1:20 21)

  • Baptism

    We believe in the importance of baptism. Baptism symbolizes a believer's commitment to Jesus and His teachings, and is an outward act of confessing our faith in Him. We believe that baptism is essential to Christian discipleship, and it is a beautiful way to proclaim our allegiance to Jesus. Baptism is a sacred and meaningful experience, and we are deeply committed to helping believers celebrate this important milestone in their journey of faith. By celebrating and honoring baptism, we are proclaiming our faith in Jesus and our desire to serve Him and others.


    (Romans 6:1-4, Colossians 2:12, Matthew 28:18-20)

  • The Church

    We believe in the Christian doctrinal belief of The Church. We believe that the Church is a holy assembly of believers, united in faith and love. We strive to be a community of believers who are united in our faith in Jesus Christ and in our commitment to serve Him and His kingdom. We are committed to loving God and loving others, and to be known for our love for one another. We believe that the Church is a body of believers who are called to serve and to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to all people. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we seek to be faithful disciples of Jesus and to follow His teachings. We strive to live out our faith through loving actions and service to our community and the world.


    (Acts 2; Romans 12:3-5; 1 Corinthians 12:12-26)

  • Prayer

    We believe in the power of prayer, both individually and corporately, as an expression of faith in God's work in our lives. Prayer is an essential part of a Christian life and is used to talk to God and to communicate with Him. We pray for guidance, strength, healing, protection, and for our families, friends, and community. Through prayer, we seek to deepen our understanding of God's will and His plans for our lives. Praying helps us grow closer to God and to gain a better understanding of His will and how we can best serve Him. When we pray, we open ourselves up to God and He will answer us in His own way and in His own time. Prayer is a beautiful and powerful way to communicate with our Heavenly Father and to seek His love and guidance.


    (Philippians 4:6-7, Psalm 145:18, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)

  • Eternity

    We believe that people were created with both body and soul, that after the body dies, the soul of a person continues on into eternity. We believe that heaven is the eternal destination for all people who have placed their faith and hope in Jesus Christ as declared believers. We believe that a literal hell is the eternal destination for those who have rejected Jesus as their Lord and Savior. We know the day is coming when Jesus will judge the living and the dead.


    (1 Peter 1:3-5, Philippians 3:20, 1 Peter 4:5, 2 Timothy 4:1)

Our Values

We are committed to living out the values of the gospel of Jesus Christ through our mission to love the world, one person at a time.


Love

We love because we know that Jesus loves everyone, even sinners like us, because we are made in His image. God doesn't create junk, He makes masterpieces.


Mark 12:30-31

“And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’ The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”


Grow

We are called to grow in our spiritual journey with Jesus by encountering God through prayer, reading His word, experiencing community, and by choosing to grow in the midst of trials.


2 Peter 3:18

“Rather, you must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. All glory to him, both now and forever! Amen.”


Serve

We are called to serve: to give out of the generosity of our hearts and to busy our hands and feet in helping, assisting, working, and providing for one another.


James 2:26

“Just as the body is dead without breath, so also faith is dead without good works.”


Community

We are called to encourage and create opportunities for our church to be in community with one another.


Romans 12:4-5

“Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.”
