We worship one God in Trinity and the Trinity in unity, neither blending their persons, nor dividing their essence. For the person of the Father is a distinct person, the person of the Son is another, and that of the Holy Spirit, still another. But the divinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is one, their glory equal, their majesty coeternal.”

— Athanasian Creed

God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — has eternally existed, stands outside of time, created and fashioned the universe, and loves mankind.

The Father is God!

The Old Testament patriarchs identified God as their Father.

Jesus came to reveal Father.

We believe He is sovereign. He is great. He is powerful. He is all knowing. He is ever present. He is unchanging. He is utterly Holy. In Him we live, move and exist. He is good and in Him is no evil. HE IS OUR FATHER. He is loving, compassionate, and faithful to His people and His promises.

The Son is God!

We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God. He is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. He is seated at the right hand of the Father and someday, unbeknownst to all, He will return as He has promised.

Jesus is completely God, as well as completely human. He is the only way to be restored to God. He was born of the Virgin Mary, lived a perfect sinless life, performed innumerable miracles, was betrayed by Judas, suffered at the hands of Pontius Pilate, was crucified on a cross, and was buried in a borrowed tomb. After three days He rose from the grave, defeating death. He was witnessed by hundreds within a 40 day period. In and through Jesus’ resurrection, we have life; eternal life.

The Holy Spirit is God!

We believe the Holy Spirit, as promised by Jesus, is our helper. His presence marks us and assures us of our relationship with Christ. He guides believers into all truth, exalts Christ, convicts people of their sin, God’s righteousness, and the coming judgment. We believe that in order to live the holy & fruitful lives as God desires, we need to be baptized is water and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. We believe that the Holy Spirit invades our natural, causing the supernatural to become. He gives us spiritual gifts and He empowers us to use those gifts. We believe that the Holy Spirit is invigorating and without His presence, we have nothing.

We believe that the local church (lowercase ‘c’) is a community of regenerated believers who confess Jesus Christ as Lord, and that the universal church (uppercase ‘C’) is comprised of all God’s people in all times and places. In obedience to Scripture, Christians organize under qualified leadership, gather regularly for preaching and worship, observe the sacraments of baptism and Communion, are unified by the Spirit in love, are corrected for holiness, and go out to fulfill the great commandment and the great commission as missionaries to the world, both locally and globally. Because we are members of God’s universal church (uppercase ‘C’), we partner with other Christian local churches and ministries for Kingdom ministry and are devoted to building up our local church family until Jesus returns for His bride — the CHURCH.

We believe that the Bible is the absolute infallible, inerrant word of God. It is spot on, accurate, authoritative, and dependable in every area and moment in our lives. The Bible is God’s Word to all people and is the only source for true doctrine, instruction, correction, and reproof. It teaches God’s heart and ways, and trains us in godliness, righteousness, and holiness. It was written by human authors under the supernatural leadership of the Holy Spirit.

We believe that man is made in the image of God and is the greatest object of His creation. Man was created to walk in fellowship with God but became separated in that fellowship through sinful disobedience. That choice has caused everyone to be born into sin, which has separated us from God and His perfect plan for each person’s life. But God in all of His awesome love and grace sent ONE – the redeemer of all – Jesus Christ. As fully God and fully man, Jesus Christ has come to save all. He lived a perfect sinless life. He died on a cross in our place. He was buried in a borrowed tomb. He rose from that tomb after three days, conquering the power of sin and death forever. In and through Christ alone, we receive forgiveness of sins – enabling us to become one with Him in new birth.

We believe that repentance is the act of turning away from sin by turning to God. It’s the commitment to turn away from sin (which only God gets to define) in every area of our lives and to follow Jesus, which allows us to receive His redemption and to be regenerated by the Holy Spirit. Thus, through repentance we receive forgiveness of sins and appropriate salvation.

We believe that our eternal destination – of either Heaven or Hell – is predicated and determined by our personal response to the Lord Jesus Christ. Man was created to exist forever and he will exist eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness & salvation through Christ. To be eternally separated from God is Hell, which is destruction, but to be eternally in union with God is Heaven, which is restoration, as Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence.
