The Authority of Scripture
We believe that all sixty-six books of the Bible are the inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word of God — breathed out by the Holy Spirit and wholly true in all they affirm. Scripture is the supreme, final authority in all matters of faith and practice.
No tradition, experience, or extra-biblical revelation may override, contradict, or add to the written Word. Everything is tested by Scripture. Everything submits to Scripture.
2 Timothy 3:16–17 · 2 Peter 1:20–21 · Psalm 119:89The Trinity
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three co-equal, co-eternal, and distinct Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each is fully and wholly God; there is one God.
We affirm the Nicene Creed as a faithful summary of Trinitarian teaching. The Father is God. The Son, Jesus Christ, is fully God and fully man — born of a virgin, lived without sin, died for our sins, rose bodily, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. The Holy Spirit is God, proceeding from the Father and the Son.
Matthew 3:16–17 · John 1:1,14 · 2 Corinthians 13:14 · Ephesians 4:4–6Salvation by Grace through Faith
We believe that all people are sinners by nature and by choice, separated from God and under His righteous judgment. Salvation is entirely the work of God's grace — not earned, merited, or maintained by human effort.
Salvation comes through genuine repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ — His substitutionary death, burial, and bodily resurrection. The one who truly believes is justified before God, adopted as His child, and eternally secure in Christ. Nothing can separate the true believer from the love of God.
Ephesians 2:8–9 · Romans 3:23–24 · John 10:28–29 · Romans 8:38–39The Holy Spirit — Sealing, Indwelling, and Infilling
We believe that every true believer is sealed and indwelt by the Holy Spirit at the moment of salvation. The Spirit is the guarantee of our inheritance and the agent of our sanctification.
We further believe that believers are called and commanded to be continually filled with the Holy Spirit — yielded, surrendered, and dependent. The gifts of the Spirit are present and active today, given for the building up of the body and the confirmation of the gospel. We pursue these gifts with sobriety, biblical testing, and genuine hunger for God — not as entertainment, but as Kingdom necessity.
Ephesians 1:13–14 · Ephesians 5:18 · 1 Corinthians 12–14 · Luke 11:5–13Sanctification, Repentance, and Holiness
We believe that true saving faith produces genuine repentance — a Spirit-worked change of mind that turns from sin and toward God. Repentance is not a feeling but a direction. Without it, there is no salvation.
Sanctification — the ongoing process of being set apart to God and transformed into the image of Christ — is the normal life of every true believer. Holiness is not optional. Without holiness, no one will see the Lord. We call people to holiness not to condemn but because we believe the blood of Christ actually sets people free to live differently.
Acts 17:30 · Hebrews 12:14 · 2 Corinthians 7:1 · James 2:18Perseverance, the Cross, and the Cost
We believe that Jesus clearly taught His followers to count the cost before following Him. The life of a disciple involves daily cross-bearing, self-denial, tribulation, and rejection. This is not unusual — it is promised.
Those who are truly born again will persevere in faith to the end, not because of their own strength, but because God preserves His people. We neither teach sinless perfection nor use the security of the believer as a license for complacency. The narrow road is difficult. We walk it together, pressing toward the upward call in Christ Jesus.
Luke 9:23 · Acts 14:22 · Hebrews 10:38–39 · Philippians 3:12–14Healing, Deliverance, and Spiritual Warfare
We believe Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He healed the sick, cast out demons, and declared that those who believe would do the same. This is not for a select few — it is the normal inheritance of every believer.
We affirm the reality of the devil and demonic forces. We believe that believers have been given authority over all the power of the enemy, and that no one who has been washed in the blood of Christ is required to remain in bondage to addiction, depression, fear, trauma, or spiritual oppression. We operate in healing and deliverance not as a spectacle but as an act of the compassion of Jesus — in His name, by His Spirit, tested by His Word.
Luke 4:18 · Mark 16:17–18 · James 5:14–15 · 1 Peter 5:8 · Luke 10:19Forgiveness, Unity, and the Body of Christ
We believe that forgiveness — toward God and toward one another — is not optional for the follower of Jesus. The cross demands that we forgive as we have been forgiven. Unforgiveness is a spiritual prison; we help people walk out of it.
We honor every authentic expression of Christ's Church. We do not believe we are the only faithful expression of the Body, and we hold our convictions with humility. We strive for unity in essentials, grace in non-essentials, and love in all things.
Matthew 6:14–15 · Colossians 3:13 · Ephesians 4:1–6 · John 13:35Mission, Discipleship, and Multiplication
We believe the Great Commission is the primary mission of the Church: to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations — baptizing them and teaching them to obey everything Jesus commanded. This mandate belongs to every believer, not just ordained ministers.
We are committed to life-on-life discipleship that multiplies through four generations and beyond. We plant churches, train leaders, equip every believer for works of service, and do not rest until every community has a faithful witness to Jesus Christ.
Matthew 28:18–20 · Ephesians 4:11–16 · 2 Timothy 2:2 · Acts 1:8Water Baptism
We practice believers' baptism — the baptism of those who have personally repented of sin and placed their faith in Jesus Christ. Baptism does not save, but it is a public declaration of a private transformation and an act of obedience to the clear command of Christ.
We baptize by full immersion in water, following the pattern of the New Testament Church.
Matthew 28:19 · Acts 2:38 · Romans 6:3–4 · Colossians 2:12The Sabbath and God's Holy Calendar
We honor the Sabbath not as a legal obligation but as a gift — a rhythm of rest woven into creation by God for our flourishing. We honor God's holy days not as law but as prophetic shadow — each one pointing to Christ and to the unfolding plan of redemption.
We hold these convictions in freedom and love, not using them to divide the body or judge those who observe them differently. We see in the Hebrew calendar a rich language God has been speaking since the beginning, and we want to hear it.
Genesis 2:2–3 · Colossians 2:16–17 · Hebrews 4:9–11 · Romans 14:5–6The Return of Christ
We believe in the personal, physical, visible, and glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is coming again to judge the living and the dead, to establish His Kingdom, and to make all things new. This hope is not a subject for speculation and division — it is fuel for holiness, mission, and endurance.
We hold eschatological convictions with humility, keeping the main thing the main thing: Jesus is coming. Are you ready?
Acts 1:11 · Revelation 19:11–16 · 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 · 2 Peter 3:10–13"Being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord."Ephesians 2:20–21 · NKJV
