Doctrinal Statement

We believe in one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are one God, equal in glory, majesty, power, and deity. God created all things out of nothing and continues to sustain, govern, and uphold all things by His sovereign power.

We believe in God the Father, the first Person of the Holy Trinity, eternally one in essence, glory, and majesty with the Son and the Holy Spirit. He is the sovereign Creator of heaven and earth, who lovingly sustains, governs, and directs all things according to His perfect wisdom and holy will. Before the foundation of the world, the Father graciously chose a people for Himself in Christ and, in the fullness of time, sent His eternal Son into the world to accomplish their redemption. Through faith in Jesus Christ, believers are forgiven, adopted as His children, and invited to approach Him as their loving heavenly Father. He disciplines His children for their good, provides for their needs, hears their prayers, and preserves them by His grace. All things are from Him, through Him, and for His glory.

We believe in Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, who is truly God and truly man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. In His incarnation, He took upon Himself a true human nature while remaining fully divine, two natures united in one person.

We believe that during His earthly life, Jesus lived in perfect obedience to the Father and was without sin. He willingly died on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice for sinners, bearing our sins, satisfying the wrath of God, and accomplishing redemption for all who believe in Him.

We believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins according to the Scriptures, was buried, and rose bodily from the dead on the third day. He ascended into heaven, where He reigns at the right hand of the Father as Lord, Savior, Mediator, and King.

We believe that all people are sinners by nature and by choice and are unable to save themselves. The wages of sin is death, but God, in His mercy, has provided salvation through Jesus Christ alone.

We believe that salvation is by God’s grace alone, through faith alone, in Jesus Christ alone. Those who repent of sin and trust in Christ are forgiven, justified before God, adopted as His children, and given eternal life. This salvation is not earned by human works but is the free gift of God, resulting in a life of obedience and good works prepared by God.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, who convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. He regenerates sinners, indwells believers, seals them for the day of redemption, empowers them for ministry, guides them into truth, produces spiritual fruit, and equips the Church for faithful service.

We believe that the Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. Scripture is the final authority for all matters of faith, doctrine, worship, and Christian living. God’s Word is true, sufficient, living, and active, and it is the light by which His people are taught, corrected, and guided.

We believe in the visible, bodily, and glorious return of Jesus Christ to earth. He will judge the living and the dead, defeat all evil, and establish the fullness of His eternal kingdom.

We believe that all human life is sacred because every person is created in the image and likeness of God. Therefore, human life is worthy of dignity, love, respect, and protection from conception to natural death.

We believe in the Church, the body of Christ, composed of all true believers. The Church exists to worship God, proclaim the gospel, disciple believers, administer biblical fellowship and service, and bear witness to Christ in the world.

We believe that believers are called to gather faithfully, encourage one another, use their gifts for the building up of the body, and live together under the lordship of Christ.

We believe in the sanctity of marriage as ordained by God and defined in Scripture as the covenant union of one man and one woman. We believe that God’s design for marriage reflects His created order and points to the relationship between Christ and His Church.

We also believe that every believer is called to obey God’s moral law, not as a means of earning salvation, but as the fruit of faith and love for Christ. Therefore, Christians are called to present themselves to God, pursue holiness, flee sexual immorality, and live in a manner worthy of the gospel.

We believe that Jesus Christ has commanded His Church to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them to obey all that He has commanded. Therefore, the Church is called to evangelism, missions, discipleship, and faithful witness in the power of the Holy Spirit.

We believe that the gospel must be proclaimed so that people may hear, believe, and call upon the name of the Lord.

We believe in the power and necessity of prayer. We believe that believers are engaged in spiritual warfare and are called to stand firm in the Lord, put on the full armor of God, resist the devil, and remain faithful through prayer, Scripture, and dependence upon God.

We believe that Christians are called to pray according to the will of God, bring their requests before Him with thanksgiving, and take every thought captive in obedience to Christ.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead. The righteous, by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, will enter into eternal joy in the presence of God. The wicked, remaining under judgment because of sin, will face eternal punishment. God will make all things new, and His people will dwell with Him forever.

We are affiliated with the Alliance of Reformed Churches. We affirm the authority of Scripture, the centrality of the Gospel, and the sovereignty of God in salvation, the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and the calling of the Church to worship, discipleship, mission, and faithful witness in the world. As part of the alliance of Reformed Churches, we seek to remain rooted in biblical truth, committed to Gospel ministry, and connected with like-minded churches for mutual encouragement, accountability and mission.
