One God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
We believe in one eternal God who is revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—our Creator, Redeemer, and sustaining presence.
Matthew 28:19
The Bible
We believe the Bible is inspired by God and is our trustworthy and authoritative guide for faith and life. Through Scripture, we come to know God’s character, his saving work, and the life to which he calls us.
2 Timothy 3:16–17
Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human. He was born of a virgin, lived without sin, revealed the Father, and announced the coming of God’s kingdom.
John 1:1, 14
Salvation By Grace Through Faith
We believe salvation is God’s gift of grace, made possible through Jesus Christ and not earned by human merit. We receive this gift by trusting Jesus and responding to him in faith—turning from sin, confessing him as Lord, and being united with him through baptism by immersion for the forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:38; Romans 6:3–4; Ephesians 2:8–10
The Cross & Resurrection
We believe Jesus died for our sins and physically rose from the grave. Through his death and resurrection, God offers forgiveness, reconciliation, and the hope of eternal life.
1 Corinthians 15:3–4
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit lives and works within God’s people—transforming us into the likeness of Jesus, equipping us to serve, and empowering us to participate in God’s mission.
Galatians 5:22–25
The Church
We believe Jesus gathers those he saves into one spiritual body—the church. The church is a community of disciples called to worship God, care for one another, make Jesus known, and embody the hope and reconciliation of his kingdom in the world.
Ephesians 3:10–11; 4:1–6
The Return Of Jesus
We believe Jesus will return visibly and gloriously. He will judge with perfect justice, complete his victory over sin and death, renew creation, and gather his people to live with God forever.
Acts 1:11; Revelation 21:1–5
