Our Beliefs

AS A BIBLE-BELIEVING CHURCH, WE STAND ON THESE FOUNDATIONAL TRUTHS:

  • REPENTANCE AND FORGIVENESS

    All men need forgiveness for sin. The Bible tells us that we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Jesus told us to "Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matthew 4:17). We believe that all men enter the kingdom of God only through a born-again experience, accepting Jesus Christ as Savior (John 3:3-5, Romans 10:9-11).

  • WATER BAPTISM

    After declaring Him Lord of your life, Jesus commands that we follow Him in water baptism: a public declaration of our commitment to a new way of life, a farewell to an old way of thinking, and a signpost of a life-changing decision (Matthew 28:19-20, Romans 6:3-8).

  • BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT

    When Jesus left, He promised to send us another Comforter Who would live in us, lead us, guide us into truth, and empower us for service (Matthew 3:11, Acts 1:5,8, Luke 11:9-13).

  • HEALING AND DELIVERANCE

    We believe in divine healing as the power of Jesus to heal the sick and the afflicted in answer to believing prayer (Matthew 8:16-17, James 5:16, Acts 3:16).

  • BIBLE

    The Bible as the foundation for Christian living. Whenever and wherever the Word of God is neglected or ignored, error and imbalance are close behind.

  • JESUS

    Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, acknowledging Him as the Source of our salvation and the Resource for power-filled living!

  • HOLY SPIRIT

    The presence and ministry of the Holy Spirit, who comes to glorify and magnify Jesus, lifting Him up so that all men will be drawn into the Kingdom. We believe it is His indwelling presence in our lives that brings us into fulfillment and fruitfulness.

  • FELLOWSHIP

    Interdenominational fellowship with all members of the Christian faith. We recognize that those who belong to Jesus are all members of the same Body of Christ, though we may go by different names and points of emphasis.

  • BELIEVER

    The ministry and authority of the believer. We have been called and equipped to extend the Kingdom of God by living power-filled lives.

  • TRUTH and LGBTQ

    Our stance on all cultural issues is to stand on the Truth of the Word of God. There are many cultural normalities that change with the seasons but we stand on the Truth that never changes and on Jesus who is the same yesterday today and forever. Everyone is welcome, of course! That being said we do not support people living a sinful, alternate lifestyle that goes against the truth of the Bible. Whether that lifestyle is sexual immorality, idolatry, adultery, men or women practicing homosexuality, thieves, greed, or drunkenness, none of these will inherit the kingdom of God according to 1 Corinthians 6.


    We are all in a different place with working out our salvation and if someone "struggles with" these things, we love to come alongside them and help them to work through it and overcome! However, someone who embraces these things would not feel at home in a church like ours that loves people but also calls sin... sin.


    We believe the most loving thing we can do is authentically walk with people and speak truth to them when their lives and preferences do not line up with the unchanging truth of God's Word. We ALL fall short of the Glory of God and you will not find any perfect people at our church, but uniquely, you won't find people at our church who claim to have it all together. We too, every one of us, are working out what it means to authentically live the way that the Bible tells us to in a world that is increasingly standing against absolute Truth.
