Mission, Vision, Values & Beliefs

We believe in one eternal and loving God who is the Creator of all things, existing as Father, Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Spirit. (Exodus 3:13-15; 1 John 5:7; Genesis 1:26; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; Luke 1:35; Isaiah 9:6; Hebrews 3:7-11)

Jesus was God's only Son, born of a virgin, lived sinlessly, was crucified, died, and physically rose three days later. Now seated at God's right hand, He serves as the sole mediator between God and humanity, offering personal salvation and victorious living power. (1 John 5:7; Genesis 1:26; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; Luke 1:35; Isaiah 9:6; Hebrews 3:7-11; 2 Samuel 7:12-16)

Scripture represents God's inspired Word, written by individuals moved by the Holy Spirit. The text is without error, authoritative, accurate, and applicable to daily living. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Proverbs 30:5; Romans 16:25-26)

All people bear God's image and were created for fellowship with Him. However, sin fractured this relationship, making individuals incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through their own efforts. (Genesis 1:27; Romans 3:23, 5:12; Ephesians 2:8-9)

Christ's sacrificial blood provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sin. Salvation comes through faith in Jesus's death and resurrection, requiring personal repentance, belief, and submission to His will. (Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 2:16, 3:8; Titus 3:5; Romans 10:9-10; Acts 16:31; Hebrews 9:22; Acts 2:21, 3:19; 1 John 1:9; John 14:17)

Believers should live for Christ rather than themselves. Through Scripture obedience and Holy Spirit submission, Christians mature and conform to the image of Christ. This transformation occurs via the Spirit's regenerative power, Scripture's transformative ability, and the church's communal strength. (1 Thessalonians 4:3, 5:23; 2 Corinthians 3:18, 6:14-18; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3; Romans 8:29, 12:1-2; Hebrews 2:11)

The Holy Spirit's baptism represents the Father's promise, given at Pentecost and sent by Jesus post-Ascension, to empower the Church to preach the Gospel throughout the whole earth. Scripture encourages continuous reliance on the Spirit's leading and empowerment. (Joel 2:28-29; Matthew 3:11; Mark 16:17; Acts 1:5, 2:1-4, 17, 38-39, 8:14-17, 10:38, 44-47, 11:15-17, 19:1-6)

The Holy Spirit manifests through various spiritual gifts designed to build and sanctify the church, affirm the Gospel's saving power, and serve as an evangelism tool. All believers should earnestly desire the manifestation of the gifts in their lives, exercising them harmoniously with Scripture and within Biblical boundaries. (Hebrews 2:4; Romans 1:11, 12:4-8; Ephesians 4:16; 1 Timothy 4:14; 2 Timothy 1:6-7; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31, 14:1-40; 1 Peter 4:10)

The church holds significant power and believers must meet together regularly for worship, fellowship, and prayer. Its purpose centers on glorifying God through love and evangelism. Christ will return for His Church as promised. (Ephesians 1:22, 2:19-22; Hebrews 12:23; John 17:11, 20-23)

We observe the sacraments instituted by Christ as outward expressions of our faith: Water Baptism, the Lord's Supper, and Marriage.

An outward faith declaration and inward confession. New believers should be baptized in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit's names. Submersion symbolizes dying with Christ and rising in resurrection hope, representing communal church unity. (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38; Mark 16:16; Acts 8:12, 36-38, 10:47-48; Romans 6:1-11)

Believers regularly practice this sacrament, remembering Christ's sacrifice, communing with His presence by faith, while connecting with prior believers and awaiting the meal's fullness upon Christ's return. (John 13:1-20; Matthew 26:26-29; 1 Corinthians 10:16, 11:23-25)

Marriage represents a biblical covenant, a sacred bond between one man and one woman, instituted by God and publicly witnessed. Spousal unity and love reflect the unity and love between Christ and his Church. (Genesis 2:18-25; Matthew 19:4-6; Ephesians 5:21-33)

Three days after execution, Jesus experienced physical resurrection—the single most important event in human history. This victory over death grants all people eternal life access. Similarly, believers will be raised when Christ returns to establish His eternal kingdom. (Luke 24:16, 36, 39; John 2:19-21, 20:26-28, 21:4; Acts 24:15; 1 Corinthians 15; Philippians 1:21-23, 3:21; Romans 5)

Heaven represents the eternal dwelling place for all Gospel believers. (Matthew 5:3, 12, 20, 6:20, 19:21, 25:34; John 17:24; 2 Corinthians 5:1; Hebrews 11:16; 1 Peter 1:4)

Unbelievers face divine judgment and are sent to Hell, where they will be eternally tormented with the Devil and the Fallen Angels following their earthly existence. (Matthew 25:41; Mark 9:43-48; Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 14:9-11, 20:12-15, 21:8)

Jesus will physically and visibly return to establish His Kingdom at a date undisclosed by the Scriptures. (Matthew 24:30, 26:63-64; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8; Revelation 1:7)

God desires believers to achieve wholeness, health, and success across all life dimensions. Though the fall may limit earthly benefits, believers should pursue Christ's complete provision to better serve others and experience flourishing. This includes spiritual renewal (John 3:3-11; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Romans 10:9-10), peace and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7, 2:11; Philippians 4:7-8; Romans 12:2; Isaiah 26:3), physical healing (Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:17; 1 Peter 2:24), and faithful provision (Joshua 1:8; Malachi 3:10-11; Luke 6:38; 2 Corinthians 9:6-10; Deuteronomy 28:1-14; Psalm 34:10, 84:11; Philippians 4:19).
