Our Beliefs

GOD

We believe there is one God and beside Him there is no other. In unity and equality, God eternally exists in three Persons: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.

THE SCRIPTURES

We believe that the Holy Bible is God’s inspired and written word. We believe the holy Scriptures are infallible, sufficient, and without error as originally given. We believe the Scriptures are the ultimate and final authority to guide all matters of life and doctrine.

HUMANITY

God made man and woman in His image. Because humanity is created in God’s image, every single image bearer possesses intrinsic dignity and worth. Humanity was created to bring God glory and to enjoy fellowship with God.

SIN

Because of mankind’s original sin in the garden, all humans born of Adam are corrupted by sin. Additionally, all have willfully disobeyed and rebelled against God. Sin has fractured our relationship with: God, ourselves, and others. Sin has also fractured every single part of creation. Humanity lives under the dominion of sin and Satan and thus stands in desperate need of a Savior.

THE GOSPEL

The gospel is the good news centered on the person of Jesus. Jesus was not born of Adam, and thus did not inherit our sin nature. He eternally existed at the right hand of God The Father, but chose to take on flesh and enter the world that he created. Born of a virgin and conceived by the Holy Spirit, Jesus walked in perfect unity with The Heavenly Father and lived a fully sinless life. Nevertheless, in fulfillment of Scripture, he died on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice, to satisfy God’s holy wrath on behalf of sinners. Three days later he rose from the dead, offering salvation to all those who receive Him through faith and repentance. Therefore, we want all that takes place in our hearts and lives to proceed from and return glory to Jesus.

SALVATION

We believe salvation is a gift from God made available by His grace alone and to be received through faith in Christ alone. Simply put: JESUS SAVES SINNERS.

THE CHURCH

The church is not an institution or denomination, rather it is it a body comprised of followers of Jesus Christ. The church exists to worship God and bring him glory through preaching the gospel, making disciples, and celebrating the sacraments.

FUTURE THINGS

We believe a future is coming where God will make all things new. The future things include the glorious return of Jesus Christ, the resurrection of the dead, the final judgement, the culmination of Christ’s kingdom in the new heavens and the new earth, and His rule and reign forever.
