Rooted in the Word
We believe that all scripture is inspired by God. It is the infallible, and authoritative Word of the living God. It is the final authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
2 Timothy 3:16–17, 2 Peter 1:20–21, Hebrews 4:12, Psalm 119:89
We believe there is one true God eternally existent in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14, Deuteronomy 6:4
We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. We believe in the literal and physical virgin birth, sinless life, death on the cross, resurrection from the dead on the third day, and ascension to the Father in heaven.
John 3:16, Matthew 1:18–23, Hebrews 4:15, Matthew 9:35, 1 Peter 2:24, Luke 24:6–7
Man is created in the image of God, and God created them good and upright. Through Adam's sin and rebellion, sin entered the world, creating a fallen world.
Genesis 3:6, Romans 5:12–16
We believe that the only provision for salvation is found in the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross. Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Through this faith, a person is born again by the regenerating and renewing power of the Holy Spirit. Being justified by grace through faith, we are made righteous in Christ and adopted as children of God, receiving the gift of eternal life.
Luke 24:47, John 3:3, Romans 10:13–15, Ephesians 2:8, Titus 2:11, Titus 3:5–7
We believe in the imminent, bodily return of Jesus Christ, who will gather His Church and establish His righteous kingdom. We believe that the dead in Christ will be resurrected in the first resurrection, and we live in expectant readiness, pursuing holiness and faithful service as we await His soon return.
1 Thessalonians 4:14–18, Revelation 4:1–2, Acts 1:11, John 14:3, Titus 2:13, 1 Corinthians 15:52
We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit subsequent to salvation, evidenced by speaking in tongues as the initial sign of Spirit empowerment. This baptism endows the believer with supernatural power to witness and to do the works of Jesus Christ, fulfilling the Great Commission. Through this empowerment, the Church is equipped to manifest the kingdom of God in word and deed.
Mark 16:15–20, Acts 1:8, Acts 2, Acts 8:14–17, Acts 19:6
Sanctification is the process of putting on our new nature in Jesus Christ, growing in holiness, and living empowered to walk in freedom from sin. We believe in a holy life, for without holiness no one will see the Lord.
Romans 6:1–11, Romans 8:1–13, Hebrews 12:14
We believe marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman. Marriage is a covenant commitment for a lifetime and a sacred institution established by God. We believe that sex is for the confines of marriage between one man and one woman; that sexual purity is for all believers, and we are to glorify God with our bodies, abstaining from sexual immorality.
Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4–6, Ephesians 5:25–27, Hebrews 13:4, 1 Thessalonians 4:3, 1 Corinthians 6:18–20
Divine healing is a part of the atonement of Christ.
Isaiah 53:3–5, 1 Peter 2:24, Hebrews 13:8, Psalms 103:3
We believe that God confirms the gospel through signs, wonders, and the supernatural working of His Spirit, demonstrating His power and compassion. The Holy Spirit confirms the Word preached about Christ by empowering His followers to heal the sick, cast out demons, raise the dead, and speak with new tongues. Signs and wonders accompany the proclamation of the Word, pointing people to Christ, and confirming that He did rise from the dead.
Mark 16:17–18, Acts 2:43, Acts 4:29–30, Hebrews 2:4, John 14:12
We believe that the Church is the body of Jesus Christ, called to fulfill the Great Commission through the preaching, teaching, and demonstration of the Gospel and the making of disciples among all nations. The Church is the salt of the earth, preserving righteousness and slowing moral and spiritual decay, as well as holding back judgement. We affirm the biblical command to not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, recognizing that fellowship and corporate worship strengthen believers and advance God's kingdom.
1 Corinthians 12:27, Matthew 28:19–20, Hebrews 10:24–25, Matthew 5:13
We recognize two ordinances instituted by the Lord Jesus Christ. A. Water Baptism: The full immersion into water as an outward expression of an inward acceptance of Jesus bearing witness to the gospel of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection for us, and our new life in Him. B. The Lord's Supper (Communion) is taken in remembrance of Jesus's sacrifice on the cross and proclaiming His fulfillment. The bread symbolizes the flesh broken so that we could be made whole, and His blood which confirms our covenant.
Romans 6:3–4, Luke 22:19–20, 1 Corinthians 11:23–26
We believe that it is God's will for material blessing in the life of the believer. Part of the redemptive work of Christ is that those who are in Christ are materially rich.
2 Corinthians 8:9, Deuteronomy 28:1–14, Deuteronomy 8:1–18, 3 John 2
We believe that the tithe is 10% of one's gross income. 10% belongs to God and isn't just something that we give. We believe that an offering is what you give above your tithe, given to honor God.
Malachi 3:10, 2 Corinthians 9:6–8
We believe in the reality of hell as a place of eternal separation from God for those who reject salvation, and that it was prepared for the devil and his angels. Anyone who does not know Christ as their Lord and Savior, and repent of their sins will suffer eternal torture and torment in Hell. Hell is a real and literal place, that is eternal with never ending fire and worms that don't die.
Mark 9:47–48, Revelation 14:11, Matthew 25:41, Revelation 20:15
Heaven is the eternal home only for all of those who are in Christ, and have had their sins forgiven and been washed away by the blood of Jesus Christ. Heaven is a literal place of perfect joy, worship, and communion with God.
2 Corinthians 5:1, John 14:2–3, Revelation 21:3–4, Philippians 3:20
We believe in the final judgment, where all people will stand before Jesus Christ to give account for their lives, and God will render perfect justice. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and those who have rejected Christ will stand before the great white throne judgement and be cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:1–15, Matthew 25:31–33, 2 Corinthians 5:10, Acts 17:31
