We Believe:

God is three persons in one: the Father, Who created and sustains the world; the Son, Who lived as a human being, died, and rose from the dead; and the Holy Spirit Who works God's will in the world.
- Matthew 28:18-21

The Bible is the infallible word of God, spoken through human writers. It is the sole authority, guide and standard for all that we do.
- 2 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Timothy

3:16-17

Sin exists in every person. It is the cause of the bad things people do to each other.
- Romans 5:12, 18-19

Everyone will have existence after death - either in heaven or hell - forever and without end.
- Revelation 21:1-7, Mark 9:43-47

God has a plan to end the world, when He will judge everyone - both the living and the dead.
- Matthew 25:31-46

We believe in the sign of the cross; it is a symbol used by all Christians. The cross symbolizes the terrible death that Jesus suffered as punishment for our sins. The empty cross is a symbol of Jesus' victory over sin and death. - Colossians 2:13-15

We Believe In:

Grace alone - God loved the world, though we do not deserve His love. He sent His Son to love the unlovely and save the ungodly.
- Ephesians 2:8-10

Faith alone - Jesus has provided for our forgiveness and life; those who hear this promise and believe it, have what it offers. People don't "get" faith; God gives it as He gives us His promises.
- Romans 1:16-17

Scripture alone - The Bible is the only source that shows God's will and the only basis for faith.
- 2 Timothy 3:16-17

We Believe That:

Baptism and Communion are a means by which God gives people His grace.
- Acts 2:38-39; Matthew 26:26-28

God is loving and that He offers forgiveness and eternal life as a free gift because of Jesus Christ. Salvation is a free gift - We believe that no matter how hard we try, we cannot earn God's forgiveness or a place in heaven. It is a free gift we receive only through faith in Jesus Christ.
- Galatians 2:15-21

We’re called to lose the mindset that says, “If I do enough, then God will love me.”
God’s love isn’t something we earn. Jesus came to suffer, die, and rise for us. Not because we deserve it, but because we live in a broken world and desperately need Him. The brokenness is real. But so is His grace.

What if God is calling you to bring the name of Jesus into the places where it feels uncomfortable—to your workplace, your school, your neighborhood and everyday conversations? What does it mean to love and serve people right where they are, and to be willing to share the hope we have in Jesus?
