God
We believe in one eternal, holy, and sovereign God, Creator and Sustainer of all things, existing in three distinct, coequal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He alone is worthy of all worship, reverence, and obedience. All things were created by Him, are sustained through Him, and exist for His glory.

Scripture
We believe Scripture is the inspired, inerrant, authoritative, and sufficient Word of God. His truth neither bends to the desires of man nor changes with the world. Through His Word, God reveals Himself, declares His salvation, and instructs us in righteousness. We do not stand in judgment over Scripture; we submit ourselves to its authority.

Humanity
We believe every human being is created in God’s image, bearing inherent dignity and worth before their Creator. Yet all have sinned and fallen short of His glory. No human goodness, religious devotion, or personal effort can reconcile us to a holy God. Our greatest need is not self-improvement, but redemption through Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully man, who entered His creation to redeem fallen humanity. He lived without sin, willingly died for our sins, and rose bodily from the grave on the third day. He ascended into heaven, where He reigns and intercedes for His people, and will return in glory as King of kings and Lord of lords. In Him alone are forgiveness and eternal life.

Salvation
We believe salvation is God’s undeserved gift, received by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. No human work, religious achievement, or personal righteousness can earn what Christ accomplished through His sacrifice. The gospel calls every sinner to repentance, turning from sin and trusting in Jesus as Savior and Lord. Good works do not purchase salvation; they are the fruit of a life redeemed by grace.

The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is fully God, who convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and dwells within every true believer. He illuminates Scripture, strengthens us against sin, and produces the fruit of a life surrendered to Christ. We cannot walk faithfully through human strength alone, but depend upon His power to guide, sanctify, and conform us to the likeness of our Savior.

New Life in Christ
We believe those who belong to Jesus Christ are made new through God’s transforming work. Genuine faith is more than a confession of the lips; it bears fruit in repentance, obedience, holiness, and love. Though we will not attain sinless perfection in this life, we are called to continually turn from sin, submit to God’s Word, and pursue Christlikeness. We do not obey to become saved; we seek to obey because we have been saved.

The Church
We believe the Church is the body of Christ, with Christ Himself as its head. God has not called His people to walk in isolation, but to gather in worship, devote themselves to Scripture and prayer, and grow together in faith. We are called to uphold His truth, love one another, and faithfully serve according to the gifts He has entrusted to us.

Baptism & the Lord’s Supper
We believe baptism and the Lord’s Supper are sacred ordinances instituted by Jesus Christ. Baptism is an act of obedience and public identification with Him, portraying our union in His death, burial, and resurrection. The Lord’s Supper calls believers to remember His sacrifice, examine their hearts, and proclaim His death until He comes. Neither should become an empty religious custom, but be approached with sincere faith, gratitude, and reverence.

Our Calling
We believe every follower of Jesus Christ is called to proclaim His gospel, make disciples, and bear witness through both word and conduct. We are not called to hide the light entrusted to us or conform to a world that rejects His authority. Rather, we must speak truth in love, stand firm in faith, and make Christ known wherever He has placed us. Our lives should bear witness to the gospel our lips proclaim.

Christ’s Return
We believe Jesus Christ will return personally, visibly, and gloriously, fulfilling God’s promises and bringing His redemptive purposes to completion. All humanity will stand accountable before Him, and He will judge with perfect righteousness. Those who belong to Christ have the promise of eternal life, while those who remain apart from Him face eternal condemnation. Our hope rests not in this passing world, but in our risen and returning King, who will make all things new.
