STATEMENT OF FAITH
Holy Scriptures
We Believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, and authoritative written Word of God.
The Trinity
We Believe in one God, eternally existent in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
(Genesis 1:26; Matthew 3:16–17)
God the Father
We believe in God the Father, the eternal Creator of all things. He is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent.
God the Son
We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, died on the cross as the final and complete sacrifice for our sins, and rose again from the dead. He ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father as our High Priest and Advocate. As He promised, He will come again.
God the Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity. He is our Helper who dwells with us and in us forever, bearing witness to Jesus Christ.
(John 14:16–18; John 15:26)
We believe regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for personal salvation and necessary to live the holy and fruitful life God intends for us.
We believe the Holy Spirit empowers believers with spiritual gifts, including speaking in tongues.
We believe the Holy Spirit is given to believers who ask.
(Luke 11:13)
Salvation
We Believe sin has separated humanity from God, and through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross, we can be reconciled to God.
We believe that to receive forgiveness, experience the new birth, and be reconciled to God, we must repent of our sins, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and submit to His will for our lives.
(Romans 10:9)
Water Baptism
We Believe water baptism by immersion is a public declaration of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Having been buried with Him through baptism and raised to new life by the glory of the Father, we walk in the newness of life.
(Romans 6:4)
Spiritual Gifts and Purpose
We Believe God has individually equipped each of us so that we may successfully fulfill His divine purpose for our lives.
Marriage
We Believe marriage is ordained by God as a holy covenant established by Him. We affirm that marriage is between one biological man and one biological woman, united in a lifelong commitment that reflects God’s divine design and purpose.
If you'd like, I can also create a slightly more concise version for mobile viewing or add a brief introductory paragraph at the top to frame your beliefs pastorally and warmly.
Eternal Life
We Believe our eternal destination—Heaven or Hell—is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ.
(Romans 6:23)
