OUR BELIEFS

God the Father created all things and cares for his creation. He loves us and invites us into a relationship with him through Jesus Christ.
Genesis 1:1; Matthew 6:9; John 3:16

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He died for our sins, rose from the dead, and is our Savior.
John 3:16; 1 Corinthians 15:1–8; Acts 1:9–11

The Holy Spirit helps people recognize their need for Jesus and lives in every person who follows him.
John 16:7–13; 1 Corinthians 3:16; Ephesians 1:13

We believe there is one God who exists eternally as three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each is fully God. Together, they are one God.

The Bible is God’s inspired Word and our final authority for faith and life. It teaches and equips us to follow him.

Every person has worth because they are created by God. Every person has also sinned and needs a Savior.

Jesus Christ will return and reign forever.
