BELIEFS.
The Bible.
We believe in the accuracy, truth, authority, and power of the Holy Scriptures as the Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
God.
We believe in a personal God who has revealed Himself as One. God exists in three persons–Father, Son and Holy Spirit–each distinct, yet all of One essence. (Genesis 1:26-27, Deuteronomy 6:4, John 1:1, Matthew 3:16-17)
Christ.
We believe Jesus Christ to be the virgin born Son of God who lived in flesh, died for the sins of the world, was buried, rose again, and ascended to the Father. (Colossians 1:16-18)
Holy Spirit.
We believe that life on earth is to be lived in the power of the Holy Spirit, who indwells believers, enabling them to live distinctive lives in the life and power of Christ, making famous the Father in heaven. (1 Corinthians 12:1-11)
Salvation.
We believe that the death of Jesus Christ was the final and complete sacrifice for the sins of humanity. Salvation is only obtained by grace, through faith, in Jesus Christ. All who repent of their sins and receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord are born again into eternal life as children of God. (Ephesians 2:8, Romans 10:9-10)
Baptism.
We believe baptism is an important part of a person’s faith journey. Baptism is a public acknowledgment and beautiful celebration of a person going from death to life in Jesus. (Matthew 28:18-20)
God’s People.
We believe that those who have placed their faith in Christ are knit together in one Body, the Church, a distinctive community of faith expressed in local clusters, engaging culture on every front with God’s hope and love … a Church for which Christ will personally return. (1 Corinthians 12:12-31)
Worship.
We believe that when you experience the radical grace of Jesus Christ the natural response is extravagant worship. More than outward forms, theologically informed worship must encompass our entire existence, whereby in all circumstances our words and actions bring glory to God. (1 Chronicles 16:23-31)
His Renown.
We believe that “the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.” All things exist for the glory of God. (Romans 11:36)
Community.
We believe that the worldwide Body of Christ functions best in localized communities of believers. We seek to plant churches that amplify His fame, strengthen the lives of people and repair communities so that all people can know the healing power and grace of the Savior. (John 20:21, Matthew 28:18-20)
