OUR Beliefs

We are a church that holds to a biblical worldview. So even though each new generation lives in a changing culture, we believe, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). 

  • We believe the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God. This means that the Bible is completely reliable and trustworthy.

    John 1:1, Heb. 4:12, 2Tim. 3:16; Prov. 30:5; Ps. 119:11,16; Matt. 24:35; James 1:22; Is. 55:11

  • We believe in one God displayed in Three Persons (God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit).

    Deut. 6:4; Mal. 2:10; Rom. 3:30; 1Cor. 8:6; Eph. 4:6; 1Tim.2:5; Gen. 1:26; Gen. 11:7; Matt. 3:16; Matt. 12:31-32; Matt. 28:19; John 10:30; John 14:26; John 17:20-22; 2Cor. 13:14; Gal. 4:6; 1Pt. 1:2

  • We believe we all have sinned and it’s our sin that separates us from God.

    As a result, we all need salvation. Rom. 3:23; Rom. 5:12; Eph. 2:1; 1Cor. 15:22

  • God, so loved us, He provided salvation as a gift that comes by grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ (not by any type of religious works). Jesus alone is the bridge that justifies us of our sin and reconciles us to knowing a loving God.

    Eph. 2:5-8; Rom. 6:23; Rom. 11:6; Titus 3:7; Gal. 5:1-4; Gal. 2:18-2; John 3:16

    John 17:3, 24; John 14:1-3, 17; 2 Cor. 5:18-19; Luke 23:43; Eph. 1:17; John 1:23; Gal. 4:8-9; Ph. 3:10

  • We believe Christians should humbly and thankfully partake the elements of communion as a symbolic remembrance of Jesus’ redemptive sacrifice.

    Luke 22:19-20; 1Cor. 10:16-17; 1Cor. 11:24-28; Mk. 14:22-24; John 6:53-54

  • We believe water baptism is an outward expression of an inward commitment to Jesus Christ.

    Matt. 28:18-20; Rom 6:1-11

  • We believe God’s love for us should be translated into our love back to Him and released to others. This is the Greatest Commandment in Scripture, which leads to the Great Commission of reaching and discipling as many people as possible.

    Matt. 22:37-39; Luke10:27; John 13:34, John 15:9,12-13; Rom. 5:8, Matt. 5:44-46, Rom. 13:10; 1Cor. 13:4-8, 1Cor. 16:14; Eph. 2:4; Eph. 3:8; 1John 3:1,11,16,18; 1John 4:7-8,19

    Matt. 28:18-20; Mk. 16:15; Matt. 5:44-46, 1 Cor. 5:14, 18-20

  • We believe after receiving Jesus, believers become sealed by the Holy Spirit and have the capacity to bear the good fruit of the Spirit in their lives.

    Eph. 1:13; James 1:22, Gal. 5:16-25; Eph. 4:30-32, Eph. 5:18; Heb. 3:7

  • We believe the Holy Spirit supernaturally empowers believers in their witness to share and do the works of Jesus including having an empowered prayer life.

    Acts 1:8; Acts 2:4; Ph. 1:19; Eph. 6:1; 1 Thess. 1:5; 1Pt. 4:10-11; Rom. 12:6-8; Eph. 4:7; 1 Cor. 12:1-11; Heb.2:4

  • We believe the Bible provides a road map of what to expect in the end times as world events continue to accelerate and culminate with the global return of Jesus our redeemer coming back in full power and authority.

    Matt. 24:23-27; 2Cor. 5:10; Rev. 19; 1Thess. 4:16-, 17; Acts. 1:10-11; Matt. 16:27; Rev. 1:7; Rev. 22:12; Luke 21:27; 2Pt. 3:8-9
