Statement of Faith

God


We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is infinite in power, wisdom, holiness, justice, mercy, and love. He created and sustains all things, governing according to His sovereign will and purpose.

  • Scripture References: Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 1 John 4:8; Psalm 147:5; Colossians 1:16-17



The Scriptures


We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired and authoritative Word of God. The Bible reveals God’s character, humanity’s purpose, and the way of redemption through Jesus Christ. It serves as the foundation for our faith and guides us in all aspects of life.

  • Scripture References: 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Psalm 119:105; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Peter 1:20-21



Humanity and Sin


We believe all people are created in the image of God and designed for relationship with Him. Through disobedience, humanity fell into sin, resulting in separation from God. All are in need of God’s grace for forgiveness and restoration.

  • Scripture References: Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:2; Ephesians 2:8-9



Jesus Christ and Redemption


We believe in Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, who became fully human while remaining fully divine. He lived a sinless life, died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins, and rose bodily from the dead. His atoning death and resurrection provide salvation for all who place their faith in Him.

  • Scripture References: John 1:1-14; Philippians 2:5-8; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Hebrews 4:15



Salvation by Grace


We believe salvation is a gift of God’s grace, offered freely to all through faith in Jesus Christ. God's prevenient grace goes before us, calling us to repentance and faith. Through justification, we are forgiven and made right with God. Sanctification is the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit, transforming us into the likeness of Christ.

  • Scripture References: Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 2:11-14; Romans 5:1; 2 Corinthians 3:18



The Holy Spirit and Sanctification


We believe the Holy Spirit convicts, regenerates, and empowers believers for holy living and service. Entire sanctification is God’s will for every believer, enabling us to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbors as ourselves.

  • Scripture References: John 16:8-13; Acts 1:8; Galatians 5:22-23; Matthew 22:37-39



The Church


We believe in the unity of all believers in Christ, reflecting the diversity and love of God’s kingdom. The Church is the body of Christ, called to glorify God, make disciples, and serve as His witness to the world. We are committed to being a diverse and unified body, dedicated to spreading the Gospel and bringing hope and healing to our community and beyond.

  • Scripture References: 1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Ephesians 4:4-6; Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:42-47



Faith in Action


We believe faith is demonstrated through love, service, and acts of mercy, reflecting Christ’s heart for justice and compassion. As followers of Jesus, we are called to live out our faith daily, actively engaging in our community and world to bring transformation and renewal.

  • Scripture References: James 2:17; Micah 6:8; Matthew 5:16; Galatians 6:9-10



The Sacraments


We believe in two sacraments ordained by Christ: baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Baptism signifies our identification with Christ’s death and resurrection. The Lord’s Supper is a means of grace, a memorial of Christ’s sacrifice, and a celebration of His presence and coming kingdom.

  • Scripture References: Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:3-4; Luke 22:19-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26



The Return of Christ


We believe in the imminent return of Jesus Christ, who will establish His kingdom fully. He will judge the living and the dead, bringing eternal life to the redeemed and eternal separation to those who reject Him. His return fills us with hope and compels us to live faithfully.

  • Scripture References: Acts 1:11; Revelation 22:12-13; Matthew 24:30-31; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17



Eternal Life


We believe in the resurrection of the dead and the promise of eternal life. Those who place their faith in Christ will dwell forever in the presence of God, where there will be no more pain, sorrow, or death.

  • Scripture References: John 3:16; Revelation 21:3-4; 1 Corinthians 15:52-54; Philippians 3:20-21
