Statement of Faith
The Trinity
We believe in one eternal God, infinite in power, wisdom, and love, Creator of the universe in six historical days, and sovereign over all. He exists eternally in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Each person of the Trinity shares the same divine nature, yet fulfills unique roles in the redemptive story.

God the Father
God the Father is first person of the Trinity and the source of all that God is and does. He is the originator of creation, the revealer of divine truth, and the initiator of salvation. From Him, the Son is eternally begotten, and from both the Son and Father, the Spirit proceeds.

Jesus Christ, God the Son
Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. Conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, He is both fully divine and fully human. His sinless life, sacrificial death, and bodily resurrection provide the only means of salvation. He now reigns in heaven and intercedes on behalf of all believers.

The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is fully God and proceeds from the Father and the Son. He gives life, empowers creation, convicts the world of sin, and regenerates the hearts of believers. He dwells within every Christian, sanctifying and guiding them into truth, and gifting them for service and witness.

Creation
We believe that God created the universe and all that exists, declaring it good. Humanity was uniquely made in His image with purpose and dignity. Human beings were directly created, not evolved. Angels were created as God’s messengers; some, led by Satan, chose rebellion and now oppose His purposes. All creation reflects the glory and order of its Maker.

The Scriptures
The Bible is God’s inspired Word, composed of the Old and New Testaments. Though written by human authors, it is fully divine in origin, trustworthy, without error in its original manuscripts, and authoritative in all it teaches. The Holy Spirit enables believers to understand and apply its truth faithfully.

Humanity and Sin
God created humans as male and female, bearing His image, with intrinsic value and moral responsibility. Life begins at conception and should be honored until natural death. Through Adam’s disobedience, sin entered the world, and all people are now born with a sinful nature, separated from God and in need of redemption. They are therefore subject to eternal punishment, under the just condemnation of a holy God.

The Saving Work of Christ
Jesus lived in perfect obedience to the Father and willingly gave His life on the cross as a substitutionary atonement for sin. He was buried and rose again physically on the third day. His resurrection assures our hope, and His ascension marks His ongoing intercession for His people.

Salvation by Grace Through Faith
Salvation is a gift from God, received by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. True repentance and trust in Him bring forgiveness of sin, new birth by the Holy Spirit, and the assurance of eternal life. This transformation leads to a life of obedience and devotion to God.

The Church
The global Church is the body and bride of Christ, expressed locally through congregations of baptized believers committed to God’s Word and Christ’s leadership. The Church exists to worship, disciple, and serve, fulfilling the Great Commission. It observes the ordinances of believer’s baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Leadership is entrusted to pastors and deacons, and each member is called to minister through the Spirit’s gifts.

Marriage and Family
Marriage is a sacred covenant established by God between one biological man and one biological woman for life. It reflects the relationship between Christ and His Church, provides companionship, and offers a foundation for raising children in the Christian faith and values.

Christ’s Return and Final Judgment
We believe in the imminent return of Jesus Christ to take His Church in the rapture. This will be followed by a period of tribulation and Christ’s glorious return to establish His millennial kingdom on earth. Ultimately, the unsaved will be raised and judged according to their works, and face eternal separation from God, while believers will dwell with Him forever in the joy of heaven.
