The Bible is God’s Word to all people. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. Because it was inspired by God, the Bible is truth without any mixture of error and is completely relevant to our daily lives.

Deuteronomy 4:1-2, Psalm 119:11, 89, 105, Isaiah 40:8, Matthew 22:29, John 5:39; 16:13-15; 17:17, Romans 15:4, 2 Timothy 3:15-17, Hebrews 1:1-2; 4:12, 1 Peter 1:25, 2 Peter 3:16

God has existed in relationship with Himself for all eternity. He exists as one substance in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Although each member of the Trinity serves different functions, they each possess equal power and authority.

Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah 61:1, Matthew 28:19, Mark 1:9-11, Luke 1:35, John 5:21-23; 14:10, 16 Romans 8:9-11, 1 Corinthians 8:62, Corinthians 13:14, Hebrews 1:8-10, James 2:19

God is great, He is all powerful, all knowing, ever present, unchanging, completely worthy of our trust, and above all, Holy. It is in Him that we live, move, and exist. God is good. He is our Father. He is loving, compassionate, and faithful to His people and His promises.

Exodus 3:14, Numbers 23:19, Leviticus 11:44-45; 19:2, Psalms 11:4-6, Malachi 3:6, John 3:16; 4:24; 5:26; 14:1, Acts 17:28, Romans 3:3-4

Jesus Christ is completely human, but at the same time, completely God. He is the only plan for bringing people who are far from God back into a right relationship with Him. He lived a perfect life so that He could be a substitution for us in satisfying God’s demands for perfection. He defeated death in His resurrection so that we can have life.

Isaiah 7:14; 53, Matthew 1:18-23; 3:17; 8:29; 14:33; 16:16; 28:5-6, Luke 22:70; 24:46-47, John 1:1, 14; 10:30; 11:25-27; 17:1-5

Acts 1:9; 2:22-24; 7:55-56, Romans 1:3-4; 3:23-26; 8:1-3; 10:4, 1 Corinthians 8:6, 2 Corinthians 5:19-21

Gal 4:4-5, Philippians 2:5-11, Colossians 1:15; 2:9, 1 Timothy 2:5-6; 3:16

The Holy Spirit’s presence assures us of our relationship with Christ. He guides believers into all truth and exalts Christ. He convicts people of their sin, God’s righteousness, and the coming judgment. He comforts us, gives us spiritual gifts, and makes us more like Christ.

Genesis 1:2 Psalms 51:11; 139:7, ff. Isaiah 61:1-3 Joel 2:28-32 Mark 1:10 Luke 1:35; 4:1; 11:13; 12:12

John 15:26; 16:7-14, Acts 1:8; 2:1-4; 13:2, Romans 8:9-11, 14-16, 26-27, 1 Corinthians 3:16, Ephesians 1:13-14

2 Peter 1:2, Revelation 22:17

Man was created to exist forever. He will exist either eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is Heaven. Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence.

John 3:16, 36, Romans 6:23, 1 John 2:25; 5:11-13, Revelation 20

Man is made in the image of God and is the supreme object of His creation. Man was created to have fellowship with God but became separated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, man cannot attain a right relationship with God through his own effort. Every human personality is uniquely created, possesses dignity, and is worthy of respect and Christian love.

Genesis 1:26-30; 2:7, 18-22; 3, Psalms 8:3-6; 32:1-5; 51:5 Isaiah 6:5 Jeremiah 17:5 Acts 17:26-31

Romans 1:19-32; 3:10-18, 23; 5:6; 6:6; 7:14-25 1 Corinthians 1:21-31; 15:19, 21-22 Ephesians 2

Colossians 1:21-22; 3:9-11

The blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the only way of salvation through the forgiveness of sin. Salvation occurs when people place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin. Salvation is a gift from God, and it cannot be earned through our own efforts.

Isaiah 1:18; 53:5-6; 55:7, Matthew 1:21; 27:22-66, 28:1-6, Luke 1:68-69; 2:28-32, John 1:12; 3:16, 36; 5:24

Acts 2:21; 4:12; 16:30-31, Romans 1:16-18; 3:23-25; 5:8-10; 6, 1 Corinthians 1:18, 2 Corinthians 5:17-20

Galatians 2:20; 3:13, Ephesians 2:8-10, Philippians 2:12-13, Hebrews 9:24-28, Revelation 3:20

The Church is a local community of baptized believers unified through faith in Christ. It is committed to the teachings of Christ and obeying all of His commands, and it seeks to bring the Gospel to the world. The Church works together in love and unity, intent on the ultimate purpose of glorifying Christ.

Matthew 16:18-19; 18:15-20, Acts 2:41-47; 5:11-14; 13:1-3; 14:23; 16:5; 20:28, 1 Corinthians 7:17; 9:13-14; 12

Ephesians 1:22-23; 2:19-22; 3:10-12; 5:22-32, Colossians 1:18; 3:15, 1 Timothy 4:14, 1 Peter 5:1-4

Revelation 21:2-3

As a church, we affirm and celebrate what we believe is the biblical stance on marriage between a man and a woman. We also believe God honors faithfulness in marriage. We base these beliefs and practices on multiple verses in scripture.

Ephesians 5:21-33, Colossians 3:18-19, Hebrews 13:4

We honor and participate in two sacraments that Jesus gave to us as a gift to publicly acknowledge our relationship with Him: communion and water baptism communion, or “The Lord’s Supper”, is a way for us to remember the price Jesus paid for our forgiveness of sin. When we take these elements, the bread and the cup, they represent His body, which was broken for us, and His blood, which was spilled for our spiritual freedom. These sacraments symbolize and guarantee God’s promises to us. "Communion" comes from the Greek word meaning "give thanks," which by definition is what partaking in the sacraments is all about. The bread we eat and the wine we drink symbolize Jesus’s body and blood given for us.

1 Corinthians 10:16-17, Matthew 26-28

We believe that water baptism is an outward expression of an inward decision. When one is baptized “in the name of Christ”, you are declaring your identification to Him. Jesus was baptized when He was on the earth, and we do this to follow His example. When Christians are baptized, they are submerged under water to identify with the death and burial of Jesus and raised out of the water to identify with His resurrection. Baptism is not a condition of being saved, but it is an obedient response to the fact that one has already been saved. Baptism follows belief.

Acts 2:38, Acts 2:41, Romans 6:4
