What We Believe

God has made Himself known through His creation, through His Son Jesus Christ, and through the Scriptures. The Bible is God’s inspired Word, true and trustworthy in everything it teaches. It reveals who God is, what He has done, and how we are to live. The Bible is our highest authority in matters of belief and practice.

Scripture Reference: 2 Timothy 3:16–17, Hebrews 1:1–2, Psalm 19:7–11

Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully divine and fully human. He entered our world through the virgin birth, lived a sinless life, died on the cross to atone for our sins, rose bodily from the grave, and ascended into heaven. One day He will return to judge the living and the dead and to fully establish His kingdom.

Scripture Reference: John 1:1–14, Colossians 1:15–20, Philippians 2:5–11, Acts 1:11

The Holy Spirit is God’s presence with us and in us. He convicts the world of sin, regenerates hearts, gives spiritual gifts, and empowers believers to live holy lives. He comforts, counsels, and leads the Church in truth. The Spirit works in every believer to make us more like Christ.

Scripture Reference: John 14:26, Acts 1:8, Galatians 5:22–23, Romans 8:9–11

We joyfully affirm our place in the broader evangelical tradition. This means we are committed to the good news that salvation comes by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. We emphasize the authority of Scripture, the necessity of personal conversion, the urgency of gospel mission, and the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer and the church.

Scripture Reference: Ephesians 2:8–9, Romans 10:9–15, 1 Peter 1:23–25

Our church is shaped by Reformed theology, which highlights the sovereign grace of God, the centrality of Scripture, and the Lordship of Christ over all of life. We hold to believer’s baptism and celebrate the Lord’s Supper as ordinances of the church. These convictions guide how we worship, serve, and disciple others.

Scripture Reference: Romans 8:28–30, Ephesians 1:3–14, 1 Corinthians 11:23–26

We stand in agreement with the Apostles’, Nicene, and Chalcedonian Creeds as faithful summaries of Christian belief. These ancient statements help us remain rooted in historic orthodoxy while joining in unity with the global and timeless Church. They are not Scripture, but they are rich in truth drawn from it.

Scripture Reference: 1 Timothy 3:16, Jude 1:3, 2 Thessalonians 2:15

Our theological distinctives help shape the character and direction of our church. These are areas where we bring clarity to our teaching and leadership. While agreement with every distinctive is not required for membership, we ask that members understand they influence how we lead, disciple, and structure our ministries.
