These are the core truths that unite us, shape who we are, and how we worship. But while these words define our faith, they don’t define who belongs here. No matter where you’ve been, what you’ve done, or what questions you carry, you have a place here. We believe Jesus welcomes everyone – every background, every doubt, every hope – and so do we. All are welcome –always.

People were created by God in His image, free as to choice and responsible to his Creator. Tempted by Satan, disobedience forever separates people from God. Consequently, all are born with a bent toward sin and need to be reconciled with God. God has created two distinct and complementary genders, male and female, each in accordance with God's perfect design. The marriage relationship has been established by God as a union between one man and one woman.

(Genesis 1:26-27; 2:15-3:24, Romans 3:10, 23; Ephesians 5:31; Corinthians 7:2; Hebrews 13:4; Matthew 19:4)

There is one God who is creator and maker of the universe. He exists eternally in three persons: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, who are one in essence and equal in power and glory.

(Genesis 1:2, Matthew 5:16, 45; 6:1,4,8,9; James 1:17, John 1:1, 14; John 4:24; 14:16-20; 2 Peter 1:21)

God has revealed Himself to people in the person of Jesus Christ. He is fully God and fully man. He is the eternal and only begotten Son of God, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, and lived a sinless in His life. He is making atonement for our sins by His death on the cross. He has been vindicated by His bodily resurrection. After coming to life again, He ascended to Heaven to sit at God's right hand to be our Intercessor and Advocate.

(Hebrews 1:8 and 1 Timothy 2:5-6)

God is present in the world today in the person of the Holy Spirit who draws us to faith in Jesus and who bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. He indwells every believer which empowers believers to manifest the likeness and character of Christ. He gives spiritual gifts to the church for our mutual edification.

(John 16:7-15, Romans 8:16, Ephesians 4:7, 1 Corinthians 12:7)

The Bible is the Word of God, His revealed truth and is the guide for our lives. It reveals the character of God. We accept the 66 books of the Bible as the final authority for all matters of faith and application.

(2 Peter 1:20-21, 2 Timothy 3:16-17)

Anyone can be saved from the consequences of sin, which is eternal death, by the grace of God. This salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ and in repentance of sin. No one can earn their own salvation. When one is saved, they are "born again" by the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. Elements of salvation as seen in Scripture include: Believing in Jesus as Savior; Repenting of our sin; Confessing our faith in Jesus; Being baptized; Growing in intimacy through a new life with God.

(John 1:11-12, Ephesians 2:8-9, 2 Peter 3:9, Acts 16:29-34)

Water baptism is by immersion and is an act of obedient faith. Immersion is a clear picture of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, as well as a picture of turning away from our old life and beginning a new life in Christ. It is for those old enough to understand and believe the simple gospel message. The Bible’s message is that believers, with the Holy Spirit, were able to make life-changing decisions by believing, discipleship, and repentance. In baptism we follow the example of Jesus and of the early church. In baptism we are baptized into Jesus Christ.

(Matthew 28:19; Mark 1:10-11; Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; Acts 8:34-39; Acts 10:47-48; Acts 16:29-34; Romans 6:1-5; 1 Peter 3:21)

The Holy Spirit adds the saved into the Body of Christ which is the Church. The Church has the mission of carrying on the work of Christ here on earth.

(1 Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 2:11-21; Matthew 16:18; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:47)

The Lord's Supper is to remember Christ and His death for our sins, as well as His coming again for our glorification. We choose to celebrate it weekly because we seek to follow the example of the early church. Jesus instituted the practice of sharing the bread and juice as a means of remembering His sacrifice for our sins. We share in the Lord's Supper as a testimony of our faith in the crucified and risen Jesus and as a symbol of our unity in Him.

(Matthew 26:17-30; John 17; Acts 2:46-47; 20:7; 1 Corinthians 11:17-34; Ephesians 4:1-6)

The Lord will come again for both salvation and judgment.

(Acts 1:9-11, Matthew 24:30)

People are created by God to live forever in His presence. We will either exist eternally united with Him through faith in Christ in a new Heaven and a new Earth or separated from Him forever.

(Revelation 20:11-15, John 3:16, Matthew 25:41-46)
