Statement of Faith

We believe in one God with three expressions.

God the Father

We believe in a triune God that is sovereign over all and yet personally invested in all he has created.  He is ruler and sustainer of the universe, possessing the authority of heaven and earth in a loving and completely just manner.

Genesis 1:1
Deuteronomy 6:4-9
Ephesians 4:6
Isaiah 40:21-28
Isaiah 46:8-11

Jesus Christ

We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, fully God and fully man, born in flesh by a virgin and lived a completely sinless life on earth.  He died on the cross and rose again three days later, thus securing forgiveness for the sins of the world and providing the only path to eternal life in heaven with God the Father.

Luke 1:30-35
Acts 2:22-24
John 3:16-17

Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit is a permanent presence of the Spirit of God in the heart of a believer.  The Spirit guides, transforms, empowers and activates believers in our everyday lives.

John 16:7-8
1 Corinthians 6:19
Ephesians 4:30

Salvation through Christ alone

We believe Heaven is accessible to any and all who call on the name of Jesus. Christ’s sacrifice of his life on the cross reconciled every believer to God and rooted our identity in Christ for today and forever.

Ephesians 1:7
John 1:12-13
2 Corinthians 5:17
Ephesians 2:8-10

The Bible is God's Word

We believe the Bible is the living, breathing Word of God, written that all might know Him more intimately.  It is authoritative, accurate, relevant and trustworthy.

2 Pet. 1:20-21
2 Tim. 3:16-17

Distinct Gifting

We believe that every person is created by God and for God with distinct gifts and abilities.  These gifts serve as a springboard toward service to our families, our communities, our city, and the world beyond.

Romans 12:3-8
Galatians 2:20

Community

We believe that active participation in community is an expression of worship to God and is evidence of a transformed life.  All people were created for community and therefore, we will come alive, uniquely and fully, within God’s ordained fellowship with other believers.

Matthew 28:18-20
John 15:8
Colossians 1:24-29
