A diverse community seeing future generations transformed by the Gospel.
We believe
Good News
We believe God originally intended for humanity to live in an intimate relationship with Him, but our disobedience (sin) has destroyed that intimacy, corrupted God’s design for creation, and produced death. The GOOD NEWS is, God has not left us without HOPE. Through Jesus’ life, sacrificial death on a cross, and triumphant resurrection, He conquered sin and death. All those who trust in and follow Jesus receive forgiveness of sins, the empowering gift of God’s Spirit, eternal life, and adoption into God’s family. As we journey with Him, we are being transformed by His Spirit into the people we were originally designed to be – overflowing in a life of love and service. We now wait expectantly for the return of Jesus and the restoration of all things.
Bodily Incarnation
We believe that when Jesus Christ came in human form he was propagated by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary and was true God and true man. After He died on the cross He rose from the grave, in bodily form, ascended to heaven, and presently serves as High Priest and Advocate for all believers.
In Christ
We believe that the Church is made up of all believers in Christ, that in its local expression it is an self-governing assembly of believers; and that its ordinances are baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, convicts the world of sin, baptizes all believers into the body of Christ, seals them until the moment they are resurrected, and fully gifts them for building up the church and spreading the gospel.
Scripture
We believe that the Scripture of the Old and New Testament is verbally and completely without error in the original writing and of supreme and final authority in faith and life. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Sin
We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death which is separation from God. Therefore, all human beings are born with a sinful nature.
Satan
We believe Satan is a fallen angel who, under the sovereign permission of God, has been given temporary power on earth to deceive, tempt and attack all people. However, he was completely defeated at the cross and will one day be cast into the eternal lake of fire.
Redemption
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ took our place and died for our sins. All who confess their sins and believe Him are redeemed and secure in Him forever.
Return of Jesus
We believe that the physical, personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent. Though the timing of this “Blessed Hope” is a mystery, the fact of it is as certain as the first coming of Christ.
