We are called to serve our community and those in need, through both physical and spiritual acts of love and kindness.


Evangelism

Healing

We believe Isaiah 53:5 that by His stripes we were healed and that God is still the healer today. We believe that when we lay hands on the sick they will recover (Mark 16:17-18).


Identity in Christ

We are new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17). We are children of God (1 John 3:1). We are forgiven and redeemed to become the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21). “You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.”
— 1 Peter 2:9 NIV


Gifts of the Spirit

We believe in the gifts of the Spirit mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12. We believe the power of God operates through the Holy Spirit in us and that these gifts are active today.

Our Beliefs

We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.

  • God

    We believe in one eternal God who exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are equal in power and glory, comprising the Holy Trinity.


    Genesis 1:1-3; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 3:16-17; 28:19; Luke 1:35; John 1:1-3, 14; Colossians 2:9; 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 Timothy 1:17

  • Humanity

    We believe that humans were created in God’s image and placed in a perfect environment to fellowship with Him. However, sin entered the world through disobedience, breaking our fellowship with God and causing division among people. This brokenness cannot be repaired by human efforts alone.


    Genesis 1:26-27, 31; 3:1-8; 11:1-9; Romans 3:9-10, 23; 5:12-14; Ephesians 2:1-3

  • The Gospel

    We believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, the Son of the Living God, who was crucified for our sins and rose from the dead on the third day.


    Matthew 16:16; Mark 10:45; Acts 26:23; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8, 20; Galatians 1:4; Colossians 1:15; 2:13-14; 1 Peter 2:24; Revelation 1:5

  • Salvation

    We believe that salvation is a gift from God, received by those who believe in the Gospel. This new life in Christ is made possible through the Holy Spirit, and it is not earned by good works but is entirely by God’s grace.


    John 3:3, 5, 16; Romans 3:23-28; 5:1; 6:23; Galatians 2:16; 4:4-7; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5

  • The Word of God

    We believe that the Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. It is the ultimate guide for how followers of Jesus should live.


    Matthew 5:17-18; Psalm 119:9, 11; John 10:35; 17:17; Romans 16:25-26; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Peter 3:15-16

  • The Christian Life

    We believe that spiritual growth is a continuous process enabled by the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. Every believer is called to grow in their understanding of Scripture and to use their spiritual gifts within the Church, so that others may come to know Christ and the Church may mature.


    John 8:31-32; 14:16-17; 16:13; 17:17; Romans 12:4-8; 1 Corinthians 12-14; Galatians 5:22-23; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 5:11-14

  • The Church

    We believe that the Church is the Body of Christ, consisting of all believers. Our mission is to glorify God and make His name known in the world. Every believer plays an essential role in the Church, forming a spiritual unity of brothers and sisters. Baptism and communion are key practices that signify our commitment to Christ and to one another.


    Matthew 26:26-29; John 17:11, 20-23; 1 Corinthians 28:18-20; Acts 2:38; 8:12; 1 Corinthians 10:16; 11:23-25; 12:12-14; Ephesians 1:22-23; 2:19-22

  • Biblical Marriage

    We believe that marriage is a sacred covenant defined by Scripture as a lifelong union between one man and one woman. This covenant, established by God, is the only appropriate context for sexual intimacy and should be entered into with reverence.


    Genesis 2:22-24; Ephesians 5:22-33; Mark 10:6-9; Galatians 5:24-25

  • Water Baptism

    After placing their faith in Jesus Christ, new believers are called to be baptized in water, following the command of Scripture.


    Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38; Mark 16:16; Acts 8:12, 36-38; Acts 10:47-48

  • Communion

    The Lord’s Supper is a special time of remembering Jesus’ sacrifice. Through the bread and cup, we reflect on His body and blood given for us.


    Matthew 26:26-29; 1 Corinthians 10:16, 11:23-25
