What We Believe

Core Beliefs

Our core beliefs are based on the foundational truths taught in the Word of God.  All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these Biblical doctrines.

God

We believe that there is one and only one, living and true God, an infinite, intelligent, personal spirit, the maker and supreme ruler of heaven and earth. He exists in perfect unity in the Godhead of three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, equal in every divine perfection, with distinct roles and harmonious perfection.

Scripture

We believe the Bible is the revealed Word of God. God used man to write it, but it was inspired by the Holy Spirit. It is the source of truth and is the final authority for a believer.

Mankind

Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for His glory. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the rest of God's creations.

The Fall

When Adam and Eve sinned against God, they died spiritually and eventually physically. Death means separation. This caused them to fall out of fellowship with God and fractured all of creation ever since that time.  As a result of the fall, all mankind is born separated from God and in need of reconciliation.

Salvation

Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead, and offers eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as their Lord and Savior. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.

The Church

The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Resurrection

We believe in the bodily resurrection of all humans: the saved to eternal life and the unsaved to judgement and everlasting hell.
