Welcome

We believe in one God, eternally existent in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are one in essence, equal in glory, and undivided in nature, yet distinct. The Trinity is not three gods, but the one true God, who is eternal, uncreated, almighty, unchanging, and self-sufficient, and worthy of all worship. God is perfect in goodness, wisdom, power, and love, knowing all things past, present, and future.

Gen 1.1-2, Matt 28.18-20, 2 Cor 13.14, Jn 10.30, Jn 1.1, Deut 6.4, Isaiah 45.5-6, 2 Cor 13.14, Eph 1.3-14

We believe in God the Father, the maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. The Father eternally begets the Son and eternally sends the Holy Spirit, not by creation, but within the one divine essence as the Godhead. His sovereign plan of redemption was set in place before the foundations of the world, and He will bring it to completion.

Gen 1.1, Neh 9.6, Rev 4.11, Jn 5.26, Isaiah 6.3, Rom 11.33, Ps 89.14, 1 Jn 4.8, Ps 2.7, Jn 1.14, Jn 17.5, Jn 14.26, Eph 1.3-14

We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son and living Word, our Savior and Lord, in Whom the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form. He was born of a virgin, adding a fully human nature to His divinity, yet was without sin and established God’s kingdom on earth. He died in our place as a substitutionary atoning sacrifice for our sins, bearing divine judgment, and so reconciling to God all who trust in Him. He was bodily resurrected in victory over sin and death. He ascended to the Father’s right hand where He currently reigns and intercedes for His people. He will return in glory and power to judge the living and the dead. 

Matt 1:18-25; 4:23; Mk 1:14-15; Lk 2:1-21; Jn 1:1-18; Rom 3:21-26; 5:1-11; 8:1-4, 31-39; 2 Cor 5:18-21; Phil 2:1-11; Col
1:15-20; 2:9-15; Titus 3:4-7; Heb 1:1-4; 2:14-15; 9:11-28; 1 Pet 2:21-25; 3:18-22; 1 Jn 1:9-2:2; 3:8; 4:9-10; Rev 5:1-14; 12:1-12

We believe in the Holy Spirit, Who is fully divine and personally present in the believer, the Church, and the world perfecting the work of Father and Son. The Holy Spirit draws unbelievers to Christ through conviction of sin and illuminating the power of the Gospel. The Holy Spirit indwells believers to seal, assure, transform, guide, gift, and empower them for discipleship and service in God’s kingdom.

Matt 28:19; Acts 5:3-4; 1 Cor 2:11-12; Heb 9:14; Gal 4:4-6; 5:16-25; Jn 16:8-11; 2 Cor 3:12-18; Eph 1:13; 1 Cor 12; Rom 8

We believe God has revealed His nature, character, and will perfectly in the Bible, which is, in its entirety, the uniquely inspired written Word of God, infallible and without error in all that it affirms, and is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice.

2 Tim 3:16; 2 Pet 1:20-21; Jn 10:35; Acts 2:42; Eph 3:2-6; 1 Thess 2:13; Deut 17:18-20; Josh 1:8-9; Neh 8; Ps 19:7-11; 119

We believe God creates all human beings in his image, male and female, and therefore all people have intrinsic value and purpose. Adam and Eve together disobeyed God and so incurred divine judgment unto death. Therefore, all have inherited a sinful nature and fallen short of God’s glory, and are thereby separated from God, in bondage to sin, and under the condemnation of God’s righteous wrath.

Gen 1-3; 9:6; Ps 8; 139; Jn 8:34; Rom 1:18-32; 3:9-20, 23; 5:12; 7:14-24; Eph 2:1-3; Col 1:21; Titus 3:3

We believe salvation can be found only in Christ and is offered to all by grace through faith—a living faith that responds to God’s grace and is demonstrated through repentance, confession, baptism, and a life of loyal obedience to Jesus as King. We believe Christ will visibly return to restore creation and judge the living and the dead, welcoming believers into God’s eternal blessing and shutting out from God’s presence once and for all those who have rejected the Gospel.

Jn 14:6; Acts 4:12; 2:38; Eph 2:8-10; Rom 10:9; Lk 9:23-26; Acts 1:11; 1 Cor 4:5; 1 Thess 4:13-18; 2 Thess 1:5-12; Rev 20

We believe the Church is a community of Christ’s disciples composed of all those across time and beyond denominational distinction who have joined God’s covenant family through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. The one, holy, apostolic, global Church is the bride and body of Christ over which He rules as head, the temple of the Holy Spirit, and the visible manifestation of God’s invisible kingdom. The local church gathers in love to worship God through preaching, song, giving, baptism, the Lord’s Supper, building up of the body, and the encouragement of believers; and goes into all the world to embody and proclaim the Gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ.
