What We Believe [cite: 1]

1. The Bible: We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God—our final authority for faith, doctrine, and life[cite: 2]. “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God…” (2 Timothy 3:16)[cite: 3].
2. The One True God: We believe in one God, who has revealed Himself as Father in creation, Son in redemption, and Holy Spirit in regeneration[cite: 4]. His name is Jesus, the fullness of the Godhead bodily[cite: 5]. “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord.” (Deuteronomy 6:4) [cite: 6, 7] “In Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” (Colossians 2:9) [cite: 7].
3. Salvation: We believe salvation comes by grace through faith in Jesus Christ[cite: 8].
4. The New Birth: We believe in the new birth experience Jesus described in John 3:3–5—being born of water and Spirit—making us new creations in Christ and part of His Church[cite: 9].
5. The Church: We believe the Church is the body of Christ, called to worship, fellowship, and proclaim the gospel to the world[cite: 10]. The true Church lives in holiness, love, and unity through the power of the Holy Spirit[cite: 11].
6. Holiness: We believe God calls every believer to a life of holiness—inwardly in heart and outwardly in conduct[cite: 12]. As we walk with the Lord, we seek to reflect His character in all we do[cite: 13]. “Be ye holy; for I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:16) [cite: 14].
7. The Coming of the Lord: We believe in the imminent return of Jesus Christ—the resurrection of the righteous, the rapture of the Church, and the final judgment[cite: 15]. Those who are faithful will live eternally with the Lord[cite: 16]. 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; Revelation 22:12[cite: 17].
8. Our Mission: We believe we are called to love God, love others, and make disciples of Jesus Christ—sharing the gospel in word and deed, empowered by the Holy Spirit[cite: 18].
