What We Believe

We believe that the ultimate source of human change rests in the transforming power of God. The One who formed and created us. We believe He has a plan and purpose for us, and His plan for us is good. (Jeremiah 29:11)

We believe in the authority of the Bible as the Word of God. We believe that all scripture is divinely inspired by God and is the unshakable foundation for sound doctrine (2 Timothy 3:16–17).

We believe that there is one God, who eternally exists in three persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:16–17, 2 Corinthians 13:14, Ephesians 4:4–6).

We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His power to heal, in His miracles, in His atoning death through His sacrifice on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, and in His ascension to the right hand of the Father as our High Priest and Mediator. We believe that the Lord Jesus is coming back again just as He promised (John 14:2–3, Matthew 24:30).

We believe that the Holy Spirit is our Comforter. He guides us in all areas of our lives (John 14:26, KJV). We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of praying in the Spirit (Acts 2:1–4). We believe in the nine gifts of the Spirit and the nine attributes of the fruit of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:7–11, Galatians 5:22–23).

We believe the good news that God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, Jesus, and whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved (John 3:16–17). We believe we are called to bring this good news—the gospel of grace—to all nations (Acts 20:24).

We believe that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). All who call on the name of the Lord Jesus shall be saved (Romans 10:13). The Bible tells us, “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9–10).
