​The Bible Is God's Inspired Word

We believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. It is God's revelation to humanity and the final authority for faith, doctrine, and Christian living. The Scriptures teach us who God is, how we are saved, and how we should live.

​

Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21; Psalm 119:105

 

The Trinity

We believe in one true and living God who eternally exists as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are distinct in person yet one in essence, power, glory, and purpose.

 

Scripture: Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Deuteronomy 6:4

 

Jesus Christ Is Fully God and Fully Man

We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, revealed God the Father to humanity, died for our sins, rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and now intercedes for believers.

 

Scripture: John 1:1–14; Matthew 1:18–23; Hebrews 4:15; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Hebrews 7:25

 

​Humanity Needs Salvation

We believe that all people have sinned and are separated from God. Because of Adam's fall, humanity possesses a sinful nature and cannot save itself. Every person stands in need of God's grace and redemption.

 

Scripture: Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12; Isaiah 53:6

 

​Salvation Comes Through Faith in Jesus Christ

We believe that salvation is available to all through the atoning death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Through repentance and faith in His blood, sinners are forgiven, justified, regenerated, and born again by the power of the Holy Spirit.

 

Scripture: John 3:3–7; Acts 3:19; Romans 5:1; Ephesians 2:8–9; Titus 3:5–7

 

​Sanctification Is God's Work of Holiness in the Believer

We believe that sanctification is a work of God's grace subsequent to the new birth whereby the believer is set apart unto God and cleansed from the dominion of sin. Sanctification enables believers to pursue a life pleasing to God and continues as they grow in grace and spiritual maturity.

 

Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:3–7; 1 Corinthians 6:11; Romans 6:6–11; Hebrews 12:14

 

​Holiness Is God's Standard for Christian Living

We believe that every believer is called to live a holy life through obedience to God's Word and the power of the Holy Spirit. Christians should be separated from sin and devoted to God in conduct, speech, attitude, and lifestyle.

 

Scripture: 1 Peter 1:15–16; Romans 12:1–2; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14

​

Marriage

We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman. We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, incest, fornication, adultery and pornography are sinful perversions of God's gift of sex. We believe that the only legitimate marriage is the joining of one man and one woman.

 

Scripture: Genesis 2:18-25; Genesis 19:5, 13; Genesis 26:8-9; Leviticus 18:1-30; Romans 1:26-29; 1 Corinthians 5:1, 6:9; 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8; Hebrews 13:4

 

​The Baptism with the Holy Spirit Empowers Believers

We believe in the baptism with the Holy Spirit as a distinct and empowering experience for believers. This baptism equips Christians for service, witness, and spiritual effectiveness in fulfilling Christ's mission.

 

Scripture: Acts 1:8; Acts 2:1–4; Acts 8:14–17; Acts 19:1–6

 

​Speaking in Tongues Is the Initial Evidence of Spirit Baptism

We believe that speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance is the initial physical evidence of the baptism with the Holy Spirit, following the pattern established in the Book of Acts.

 

Scripture: Acts 2:4; Acts 10:44–46; Acts 19:6

 

​The Purpose of the Church

We believe that the Church is the body of Christ, composed of all who have been redeemed through faith in Jesus Christ, with the purpose to fulfill the Great Commission. The Church exists to worship God, proclaim the Gospel, reach the lost, disciple believers, and minister to the world. 

 

Scripture: Matthew 16:18; Matthew 28:18-20; Ephesians 1:22–23; Acts 2:42–47; 1 Peter 2:9

 

​God Calls and Equips Spiritual Leaders

We believe that God calls men and women into various ministries within the Church for the purpose of equipping believers, building up the body of Christ, and advancing the Gospel.

 

Scripture: Ephesians 4:11–13; Acts 13:2–3; 1 Timothy 3:1–13

 

​Divine Healing Is Provided Through Christ

We believe that divine healing is provided through the atoning work of Jesus Christ. God still heals today according to His will and power, and the Church is commanded to pray for the sick in faith.

 

Scripture: Isaiah 53:4–5; Matthew 8:16–17; James 5:14–16; Mark 16:17–18

 

​Water Baptism Is a Testimony of Faith

We believe that water baptism by immersion is an ordinance established by Christ. It does not save, but serves as a public testimony of repentance, faith, and identification with Christ's death, burial, and resurrection.

​

Scripture: Matthew 28:19–20; Acts 2:38–41; Romans 6:3–5; 1 Peter 3:21

 

​The Lord's Supper Remembers Christ's Sacrifice

We believe that the Lord's Supper is a sacred ordinance instituted by Jesus Christ. Through the bread and cup, believers remember His sacrificial death, proclaim His redemption, and reaffirm their fellowship with Him and one another.

 

Scripture: Luke 22:19–20; 1 Corinthians 11:23–29

 

​Washing the Saints' Feet Demonstrates Humility and Service

We believe that feet washing is a New Testament ordinance taught and exemplified by Jesus Christ. It reminds believers of Christlike humility, servant-hearted leadership, and unity within the body of Christ.

 

Scripture: John 13:3–17

 

​Jesus Christ Will Return Again

We believe in the visible, personal, and premillennial return of Jesus Christ. He will first gather His Church to Himself and will subsequently return to establish His righteous reign upon the earth.

 

Scripture: Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; Revelation 19:11–16

 

​Christ Will Reign for a Thousand Years

We believe that Jesus Christ will establish His kingdom on earth and reign for one thousand years in righteousness, peace, and justice.

 

Scripture: Revelation 20:1–6; Zechariah 14:4–9

 

​There Will Be a Final Judgment

We believe that every person will stand before God in judgment. The righteous will enter eternal life, while those who reject God's salvation will face eternal separation from Him.

 

Scripture: Matthew 25:31–46; Revelation 20:11–15; Romans 14:10–12

 

​Eternal Life Is Promised to All Who Believe

We believe that all who trust in Jesus Christ will enjoy everlasting fellowship with God in Heaven, while those who persist in unbelief will experience eternal punishment in Hell.

 

Scripture: John 14:1–3; John 3:16; Revelation 21:1–7; Revelation 20:15
