our beliefs

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


These doctrines lie at the heart of historical Christian orthodoxy. They are fixed teachings that define us as Christians. Accordingly, we welcome persons of all backgrounds and beliefs to participate in worship with us.

  • the holy scriptures

    We believe that the Bible is God-inspired (2 Tim. 3:16, 17)

  • the eternal godhead

    We believe that God is Triune: Father, Son and Holy Spirit

    (2 Cor. 13:14).

  • the fall of man

    We believe that man is created in the image of God but,

    by voluntary disobedience, fell from perfection—thereby

    imbuing humanity with sinfulness (Rom. 5:12)

  • the plan of redemption

    We believe that, while we were sinners, Christ died for us—pardoning all who believe in Him (John

    3:16; Rom. 5:8).

  • salvation through grace

    We believe that we receive salvation when we

    come to God through faith in the atoning work

    of Jesus on the cross. Salvation is God’s gift to us

    (Eph. 2:8).

  • repentance and acceptance

    We believe that, upon sincere repentance and a

    wholehearted acceptance of Christ, we are justified

    before God (Rom. 10:8-10; 1 John 1:9).

  • the new birth

    We believe that a genuine change takes place in people

    who accept Christ as Savior; believers allow Christ’s life to

    be lived through them (2 Cor. 5:17; Gal. 2:20).

  • daily christian life

    We believe that it is the will of God for believers

    to walk in progressive sanctification, growing

    continuously in the faith (Heb. 6:1).

  • water baptism and the lord’s supper

    We believe that baptism by immersion in water is

    an outward sign of an inward work (Matt. 28:19;

    Rom. 6:4). We believe in commemorating the Lord’s

    Supper by the symbolic use of bread and fruit of

    the vine (1 Cor. 11:24, 25).

  • baptism of the holy spirit

    We believe that baptism with the Holy Spirit

    empowers believers, and that the Holy Spirit’s

    incoming follows the same pattern that is described

    in the New Testament (Acts 2:4).

  • the spirit-filled life

    We believe that it is the will of God that we daily

    walk in the power of the Holy Spirit (Eph. 4:30-32).

  • the gifts and fruit of the spirit

    We believe that the Holy Spirit has gifts to bestow upon

    Christians (1 Cor. 12:1-11) and that we should show spiritual

    fruit as evidence of a Spirit-filled life (Gal. 5:22-25).

  • moderation

    We believe that people who follow Christ should avoid the

    extremes of fanaticism and pursue lives of balance and

    moderation, demonstrating gentleness and patience (Phil.

    4:5, KJV; Col. 3:12, 13).

  • divine healing

    We believe that divine healing is the power of Christ

    to heal the sick in answer to prayer offered in faith

    (Jas. 5:14-16).

  • the second coming of christ

    We believe that the second coming of Christ is

    personal and imminent (1 Thess. 4:16, 17; Titus 2:11-

    13).

  • church relationship

    We believe that followers of Christ have a sacred

    duty to identify with the visible church of Jesus

    Christ and should meet regularly with fellow

    believers (Heb. 10:24, 25).

  • civil government

    We believe that laws and ordinances come from

    God’s ultimate authority and should be upheld,

    except when they are in opposition to the revealed

    will of God (Rom. 13:1-5).

  • heaven

    We believe that heaven is the glorious eternal home of

    born-again believers (John 14:1-3; Rev. 7:15-17).

  • hell

    We believe that hell is the place of eternal torment for all

    who reject Christ as Savior (Rev. 20:11-15).

  • evangelism

    We believe that the church’s primary responsibilities

    are taking the gospel to the entire world and

    making disciples (Mark 16:15; Matt. 28:19-20).

  • tithes and offerings

    We believe the method ordained by God for the

    support and spread of His cause is giving tithes

    and offerings (Mal. 3:10; 2 Cor. 9:7).
