We believe the Bible is the Word of God, Jesus Christ is Lord, and the gospel changes lives.

Explore the foundational beliefs that shape how we worship, serve, and live as a church family.

Our Foundational Beliefs

The Bible is not simply something we read.It is the foundation for how we live.

The Scriptures

The Bible is God’s Word and our final authority for faith, truth, and daily life.

God

We believe in one God who exists eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ

He is the Son of God, fully God and fully man. He lived, died, rose again, and reigns as Lord.

Salvation

Salvation is a gift of God’s grace through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.

The Church

The church is the family of believers gathered to worship God, grow in faith, encourage one another, serve, and make disciples. We exist to make Jesus known and live out His mission.

Baptism & the Lord’s Supper

Baptism is a public expression of faith in Christ. The Lord’s Supper remembers and proclaims what Christ accomplished for us.

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is God’s presence with His people. He convicts, gives new life, guides in truth, empowers our faith, and equips us to serve and share the gospel.

The Return of Christ

Jesus Christ will return, and God will make all things new. We look forward with hope to the resurrection, the final victory of Christ, and eternal life with Him.

“Your word is a lamp to my feetand a light to my path.”

Psalm 119:105
