Doctrinal Statement

The Bible

We believe the Holy Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God, infallible, without error in the original writings, and the final authority for all faith and practice. Every word is God-breathed and preserved (2 Timothy 3:16–17, Proverbs 30:5, Matthew 24:35).

God

We believe in one eternal God who exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God is holy, sovereign, just, and merciful (Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 28:19, Isaiah 6:3).

Jesus Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully man. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross as the perfect sacrifice for our sins, rose bodily from the dead on the third day, and is now seated at the right hand of the Father (John 1:1, Colossians 2:9, 1 Peter 2:22, 1 Corinthians 15:3–4, Hebrews 1:3).

Salvation

We believe that salvation is a free gift of God by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. It is not earned by works, baptism, or religion, but granted to those who repent and believe the gospel: that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again (Ephesians 2:8–9, Romans 10:9, 1 Corinthians 15:3–4, Acts 2:38).

The Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, regenerates the sinner, indwells the believer, and empowers for holy living and bold witness. Every true believer is sealed with the Spirit at the moment of salvation (John 16:8, Titus 3:5, Ephesians 1:13–14, Galatians 5:22–23).

The Church

We believe that the true Church is the body of Christ, made up of all born-again believers. The Church is not a building or denomination, but a spiritual body united in Christ. Believers are called to fellowship, edify one another, and proclaim the gospel (1 Corinthians 12:12–13, Romans 12:4–5, Hebrews 10:24–25).

Baptism and the Lord’s Supper

We believe that baptism is an act of obedience and a public declaration of faith, but it does not save. The Lord’s Supper is a memorial of Christ’s death and a call for self-examination among believers. Neither practice conveys salvation (Matthew 28:19, Romans 6:4, Luke 22:19–20, 1 Corinthians 11:26–28).

Heaven and Hell

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the saved and the lost. Those who are saved by faith in Christ will enter eternal life, and those who reject Him will face everlasting punishment. These are real, conscious destinations (John 5:28–29, Matthew 25:46, Revelation 20:11–15).

The Return of Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ will return personally, visibly, and bodily to judge the world and establish His kingdom. Believers should live in readiness and hope, looking forward to His appearing (Acts 1:11, Titus 2:13, 2 Timothy 4:1).
