What We Believe

Statement of Doctrine

Clear, simple, and grounded in Scripture.

We believe the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired, infallible Word of God — our final authority in all matters of faith and practice.

2 Timothy 3:16-172 Peter 1:20-21

We believe in one God, the Creator of all things, who is sovereign, eternal, and unchanging. He is the Father of all humanity, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit — the fullness of the Godhead revealed throughout Scripture.

Deuteronomy 6:4Colossians 2:9Isaiah 43:10-11

We believe Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh, born of a virgin, sinless in life, crucified for our sins, bodily resurrected, ascended to the Father, and coming again in power and glory.

1 Timothy 3:161 Corinthians 15:3-4Acts 1:11

We believe salvation is received by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, demonstrated by repentance from sin, water baptism by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 2:38-39Ephesians 2:8Titus 3:5

We believe the Holy Spirit indwells, empowers, and guides every believer. The initial evidence of receiving the Holy Spirit is speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance.

Acts 2:4Acts 10:44-46Acts 19:6

We believe believers are called to a life of holiness, separated from the world and devoted to God — growing in faith, love, prayer, and obedience to His Word.

1 Peter 1:15-162 Corinthians 7:1Hebrews 12:14

We believe divine healing is provided for in the atonement and is available to all who believe. We trust God as the source of all healing, whether through direct miracle or through the medical arts.

Isaiah 53:4-5James 5:14-15Mark 16:17-18

We believe the Church is the Body of Christ — a fellowship of Spirit-filled believers called to worship in spirit and in truth, love one another, and reach the world with the Gospel.

Acts 2:42-47Ephesians 4:11-16

We believe in the literal, premillennial second coming of Jesus Christ — the resurrection of the saved to eternal life and the lost to eternal separation from God.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17Revelation 20:4-6John 5:28-29
