Our Beliefs - What We Believe

These are the bedrock truths that we stand on and go to the wall for. These statements are intended to summarize the basic doctrinal beliefs of our church. These statements are true according to the Bible.

THE BIBLE

We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, fully inspired, without mistake as originally written, and our final authority for faith and practice in the Christian life. (2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 2:20-21; Ps. 119:160)

GOD

We believe in one God who eternally exists in three distinct Persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—who are coequal in power and worth. (Matt. 28:19-20; 1 Pet. 1:2; 2 Cor. 13:14)

HUMANITY

We believe that mankind was created in God's image and had perfect relationship with God but as a result of disobedience suffered spiritual separation from God and physical death. We believe that all people are sinners by birth, nature, and choice and therefore separated from their Creator. (Gen. 1:27; Ps. 8; Isa. 59:1-2; Rom. 3:9-23)

JESUS CHRIST

We believe that Jesus Christ is God, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died a substitutionary death on a cross, was raised from the dead three days later, and ascended to the right hand of the Father in Heaven. (Jn. 1:1-5; Matt. 1:22-23; Heb. 4:14-15; Rom. 1:3-4; 1 Cor. 15:3-4; Acts 1:9-11)

SALVATION

We believe that by God's grace, a person can be in right relationship with God by trusting in the Person and work of Jesus Christ by faith alone, apart from any kind of work. (Rom. 5:1; 6:23; Eph. 2:8-9; Titus 3:5)

HOLY SPIRIT

We believe that the Holy Spirit is God and equal with both the Father and the Son. He is indwelling all believers, enabling them to live the Christian life, and empowering them for service. (2 Cor. 3:17; John 16:7-13; 1 Cor. 2:12; 3:16; Eph. 1:13)

CHRIST'S RETURN

We believe in the imminent personal return of Jesus Christ to earth. (Titus 2:13; Matt. 25:31-34; 1 Thess. 5:1-11)

RESURRECTION

We believe in the bodily resurrection of all mankind. Those who are in relationship with God through Jesus Christ will be resurrected to eternal life, but those without a relationship with Jesus Christ will be resurrected to eternal judgment. (1 Cor. 15:22-26, 40-44, 50-58; John 3:36; Rev. 20:11-15)
