Core beliefs

  • The Bible is the inerrant Word of God and has absolute authority. 

  • There is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

  • When Jesus came to earth, He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.

  • Jesus is fully God and fully man. 

  • Jesus died, was resurrected, ascended into Heaven and will return to power and glory.

  • Everyone will face the judgment of Christ. People without Christ will be consigned to hell. People who have a relationship with Christ will dwell forever in heaven.

  • Upon genuine conversion, the believer receives the Holy Spirit and is eternally secure.

  • The local church is called to worship, evangelize, and make disciples.
