What We Believe
These statements exist to highlight the core truths in Scripture that the Church is called to hold onto together—truths that help us live in the fullness of life God intended as His family.
At the heart of it all, we’re a family held together by love. Believing the right things in a prideful way isn’t love. Letting go of truth in the name of comfort isn’t love either. But holding to truth with humility and love—that’s what Jesus showed us. And that’s the kind of community we want to be: a people shaped by both truth and grace, fully alive in Him.

We believe in one God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in God the Father, Creator of all things, who is loving, all-powerful, and good.
We believe in Jesus, the Son of God—fully God and fully human—who lived, died, and rose again to rescue and redeem us.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, who fills and empowers God’s people, making the presence of God real in us and through us.
God is three-in-one: distinct in person, united in essence, and working together in perfect love. This mystery is not something to solve but a reality to live in—a relational God inviting us into relationship with Him.

We believe the Bible—comprised of the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments—is the inspired and authoritative revelation of God, true in all it teaches. Though written by many human authors, each was led by the Holy Spirit to communicate God’s heart and will.
Scripture is more than inspiration; it’s our foundation. While we believe God is always present and speaking, He never contradicts Himself. The Bible helps us know God, follow Jesus, and discern what is true.

Salvation is the word we use to describe the transforming work of God in us—how He rescues, renews, and restores.
In the story of Scripture, salvation is something that has happened, is happening, and will happen for those who trust in Jesus. It’s a gift we receive, a process we’re living, and a future we’re promised.
We have been saved—through the finished work of Jesus on the cross. It’s by grace, through faith—not by anything we’ve done (Ephesians 2:8–9).
We are being saved—by the presence of the Holy Spirit, who shapes us to look more like Jesus as we follow Him day by day (1 Corinthians 1:18).
We will be saved—as we endure in faith, holding onto the hope that God will one day make all things new, including us (Matthew 24:13).
Salvation isn’t just about a moment—it’s about a whole life. And it’s not something we earn; it’s something God is doing in us: past, present, and future. Because of Jesus, we live with confidence that death doesn’t have the final word—and we’re being renewed from the inside out.

The Gospel is the good news that God Himself has come to rescue us from sin and make all things new through Jesus.
In grace, God took the initiative. Jesus lived the life we couldn’t, died the death we deserved, and rose again—on our behalf. Through His life, death, and resurrection, we’re invited into a new kind of life.
This good news is not just personal—it’s cosmic. It’s about a Kingdom breaking in, not just hearts being changed. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we’re called to live as a preview of what God is doing to restore all creation.
The Gospel is both gift and calling. It wakes us up from death to life and invites us to join God in His redemptive work—faithful, fruitful, and full of hope.
