We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.
We believe in one God eternally existing in three equal persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each has the same nature and attributes but is distinct in office and activity.
Matthew 28:19
II Corinthians 13:14
We believe the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, in order that he might reveal God and redeem sinful man. We believe He accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice. We believe our redemption and salvation are guaranteed by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead. We believe the Lord Jesus Christ is now in heaven, exalted to the right hand of God where, as High Priest to His people, He fulfills the ministry of intercession and advocacy.
John 1:1, 14, 18
Luke 1:35
Romans 3:24-26
Romans 4:25
Hebrews 1:3
Hebrews 3:1
Hebrews 7:23-25
I John 2:1-2
We believe God and the Holy Spirit is a person who restrains evil in the world and convicts men of sin. He also regenerates those who receive Christ as their Savior, baptizes them into the Church, the Body of Christ, indwells them permanently, seals them unto the day of redemption, bestows spiritual gifts on each one, and fills those yielded to Him.
John 16:7-11
John 3:8
I Corinthians 12:4-11, 13
John 14:16-17
Ephesians 4:30
Ephesians 5:18
We believe in the Trinity, which is the doctrine that God is one, existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The three persons of the Trinity are distinct and unified, co-existing in perfect harmony and working together to create and sustain the world. We recognize that since God is the Creator and the source of all life, He exists in three persons who are distinct yet united, understanding each other completely and working together to bring about His plans for humanity. We believe that the Trinity is an essential part of understanding God and His purpose for us. By embracing the Trinity, we can have a deeper relationship with the Lord and better understand His will for our lives.
We believe the Bible to be the verbally inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, and the supreme and final authority in doctrine and practice.
II Timothy 3:16-17
II Peter 1:21
John 17:17
We believe salvation is a sovereign gift of God and is received by man through personal faith in Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for sin. We believe man is justified by grace through faith apart from works. We believe all true believers elect of God, once saved, are kept secure in Christ forever.
Acts 13:38-39
Romans 6:23
Ephesians 1:4-5
Ephesians 2:8-10
Romans 8:1
Romans 29-30
Romans 38-39
John 10:27-30
We believe by water baptism a believer is publicly identified with his Savior and that infants of believing parents may be dedicated to the Lord but should not be baptized until they can personally articulate their faith and the purpose of baptism.
Matthew 28:19-20
We believe the Church, the Body, and Bride of Christ, is a spiritual organism, made up of all born-again persons. We believe the Church began at Pentecost and that a believer is placed into the Church by the baptizing work of the Holy Spirit. We believe the Church is distinct from Israel. We believe the local church is an assembly of professed believers in Jesus Christ who are voluntarily joined together in one locality for the purposes of worship, prayer, the study of the Word of God, observance of the ordinances, Christian fellowship, equipping for and practice of Kingdom service, specifically stewarding our lives for the purpose of fulfilling the Great Commission. We also recognize Jesus Christ as the Senior Pastor of this church.
Ephesians 1:22-23
I Corinthians 12-13
I Corinthians 10:32
Acts 2:42-47
I Corinthians 1:1-2
Ephesians 4:11-13
Matthew 16:18
Matthew 28:19-20
As a church, our purpose is to call all people to be fully devoted followers of Christ. A calling implies both introduction and encouragement to remain in a life of full devotion to Christ. As such, we exist to exalt Christ, edify the believer, and evangelize the world; more specifically, to reach the unchurched, de-churched, dead-churched, and unmoved, and to encourage, equip, serve, and sustain those already devoted to Christ.
- The unchurched – those who have never been exposed to biblical community.
- The de-churched – those who have previously been in a “church” environment but have left it.
- The dead-churched – those involved in a “church” that is not pursuing biblical Christianity.
- The unmoved – those nominally involved with Christ or His purpose.
We believe in the power of prayer, both individually and corporately, as an expression of faith in God's work in our lives. Prayer is an essential part of a Christian life and is used to talk to God and to communicate with Him. We pray for guidance, strength, healing, protection, and for our families, friends, and community. Through prayer, we seek to deepen our understanding of God's will and His plans for our lives. Praying helps us grow closer to God and to gain a better understanding of His will and how we can best serve Him. When we pray, we open ourselves up to God and He will answer us in His own way and in His own time. Prayer is a beautiful and powerful way to communicate with our Heavenly Father and to seek His love and guidance.
We are committed to living out the values of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our mission is to love Jesus, love people and make disciples who make disciples.
We live in freedom by knowing who we are in Jesus.
Romans 10:9
We passionately pursue our relationship with Jesus.
Matthew 6:9-13
We are known, loved and challenged through authentic relationships.
Hebrews 10:25
We use our gifts to serve others with the love of Jesus.
Ephesian 4:16
We generously steward what we have been given.
