We believe in one God, eternal and sovereign, revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the Creator of all things, holy and loving, just and merciful. All things exist through Him and for Him.
For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. - Colossians 1:16
“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! - Deuteronomy 6:4
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and our authority for faith and life. Through Scripture, God reveals His character, His redemptive plan, and how we are called to live.
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. - 2 Timothy 3:16-17
Your word is a lamp to my feet. And a light to my path. - Psalm 119:105
We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully man, sent by the Father to redeem the world. Through His sinless life, sacrificial death on the cross, and bodily resurrection, He paid the penalty for our sin and secured our salvation. In Him alone we are forgiven, reconciled to the Father, and given new and eternal life.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. - John 1:1-3
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. - John 1:14
For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
We believe salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. It is a gift from God, not earned by works or human effort. Through repentance and faith, we are forgiven of our sins, justified before God, and made new creations, transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. - John 3:16
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. - Ephesians 2:8-9
That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. - Romans 10:9-10
We believe Jesus Christ will personally and visibly return in power and glory to judge the living and the dead and to establish His kingdom in fullness and righteousness. His return is our blessed hope and the culmination of God’s redemptive plan.
Who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” - Acts 1:11
“And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.” - Revelation 22:12
We believe the Holy Spirit is fully God, sent by the Father and the Son to dwell within every believer. He convicts of sin, leads us into truth, empowers us to live holy lives, and equips us with spiritual gifts for the building up of the Church. Through His presence, we are transformed, guided, and strengthened to fulfill God’s purposes.
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. - John 14:26
But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. - Acts 1:8
We believe the Church is the body of Christ, redeemed by His blood and commissioned to carry His presence in the earth. We are called to gather in unity, devote ourselves to prayer, the teaching of Scripture, fellowship, and the breaking of bread, and to reflect the character and mission of Jesus to the world. As His body, we are entrusted with advancing His kingdom through love, truth, and faithful obedience.
And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor - Acts 2:42-47
And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head, Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. - Ephesians 4:11-16
We believe unity is the heart of Christ for His Church. We are called to walk in humility, love, and forgiveness, preserving the unity of the Spirit while honoring the diversity of gifts within the body. True unity is not uniformity, but a shared devotion to Jesus and His purposes.
I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. - John 17:20-23
For brethren to dwell together in unity! - Psalm 133:1
We believe children are a vital part of the body of Christ and are not separate from what God is doing. We welcome them into our gatherings to worship, pray, learn, and grow alongside the adults. We believe God speaks to and works through children, and we are committed to raising the next generation in faith and spiritual maturity.
But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” - Matthew 19:14
“And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. - Joel 2:28
We believe communion is a sacred ordinance instituted by Jesus Christ, in which we remember His body broken and His blood shed for the forgiveness of sins. As we partake together, we proclaim His death, celebrate our unity in Him, and renew our devotion to the new covenant established through His sacrifice.
For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” 1 Corinthians 11:23-25
We believe baptism in water is a sacred ordinance commanded by Jesus Christ and an outward declaration of inward transformation. Through baptism, believers publicly confess their faith, identifying with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. It is a step of obedience that signifies repentance, forgiveness of sins, and new life in Him.
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit - Matthew 28:19
Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. - Romans 6:3-4
We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit as a distinct and empowering work of God that equips believers for bold witness, deeper spiritual maturity, and effective ministry. Through this outpouring, the Holy Spirit fills, strengthens, and empowers His people, releasing spiritual gifts according to His will for the advancement of God’s kingdom.
But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” - Acts 1:8
When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. hen there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. - Acts 2:1-4
We believe the Holy Spirit distributes spiritual gifts to believers for the strengthening of the Church and the advancement of God’s kingdom. These gifts include prophecy, healing, discernment, encouragement, and other expressions of the Spirit’s power and grace. We desire to steward these gifts with humility, order, and love.
There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. - 1 Corinthians 12:4-11
And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 1for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; - Ephesians 4:11-13
We believe speaking in tongues is a biblical gift of the Holy Spirit given to believers as He wills. It may function as a personal prayer language that strengthens the believer and, when interpreted, as a gift for the edification of the Church. We embrace the operation of this gift with humility, discernment, order, and love, as instructed in Scripture.
For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. 1 Corinthians 14:2
While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. - Acts 10:44-46
We believe prayer is foundational to the life of every believer and central to the life of the Church. Through prayer we commune with God, seek His will, intercede for others, and contend for His purposes to be established on the earth. We believe God hears, responds, and moves powerfully in answer to the faithful prayers of His people.
‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’ - Jeremiah 33:3
But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. - Matthew 6:6
We believe Jesus Christ is our healer and that through His atoning work on the cross, provision has been made for spiritual, emotional, and physical restoration. We believe God still heals today and moves with compassion and power in response to faith. We pray boldly, trusting in His authority and submitting to His sovereign will.
Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. - Isaiah 53:4-5
When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: “He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses.” - Matthew 8:16-17
Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. - James 5:14-15
We believe every believer is called not only to follow Jesus but to grow into spiritual maturity and help others do the same. Discipleship is a lifelong process of being transformed by the Word of God, shaped by the Holy Spirit, and formed into the character of Christ. We are called to make disciples who make disciples, multiplying faithful followers of Jesus from generation to generation.
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. - Matthew 28:19-20
Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. - Colossians 1:28
We believe the gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God unto salvation and is meant to be proclaimed. Every believer is called to boldly and lovingly make Christ known through both word and action. As ambassadors of Christ, we invite others to repentance, faith, and new life in Him.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. - Romans 1:16
Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” - Matthew 9:37-38
We believe faith is meant to be lived out in tangible ways. We are called to love our neighbors, serve with generosity and humility, make disciples, and carry the gospel beyond our gatherings into our communities and the nations. Our service is an expression of Christ’s love and a reflection of His kingdom at work through us.
If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. - John 13:14-15
Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. - Philippians 2:3-4
We believe generosity reflects the heart of God. As we have freely received, we freely give. We are called to live open handed lives, supporting one another, serving our communities, and advancing the work of the gospel with joy and faith.
I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” - Acts 20:35
Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. - Acts 2:44-45
