Essential Beliefs

In essential beliefs, we have unity.

In non-essential beliefs, we have liberty.

In all our beliefs, we show love.



  • We believe in the one God who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (The ​Trinity) (Acts 16:6-10, Matthew 28:18-20)
    • We believe God is the Creator of all things and is the Sustainer and ​Lord of our lives. (Genesis 1:1, Romans 1:25, Psalm 54:4)
    • We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son and Savior of the world. ​(John 3:16-17, John 14:6, Acts 4:8-12)
    • We believe in the Holy Spirit, God himself who indwells each Christ ​Follower and encourages, guides, comforts, and transforms us and ​seals in the way of Christ. (John 14:26, John 16:7-11, Ephesians 1:13-​14)


  • We believe that the Bible is the inerrant and inspired written Word of ​God and the authoritative rule for all matters of faith and practice for ​Christ Followers and the Church. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, Hebrews 4:12)


  • We do not require that members subscribe to a formal creed. In a very ​real sense, “we have no creed but Christ, no book but the Bible.”The ​basis of our unity is that scripture alone is the standard, that all is for the ​glory of God alone, that by Christ’s work alone are we saved, that ​salvation is by grace alone, and that justification is by faith alone.


  • We believe that man, created by God, willfully sinned and, as a result, is ​lost and without hope apart from Jesus Christ, whose death, burial, and ​resurrection opened the way for salvation and eternal life to all who call ​on His name. (Romans 3:23, 1 John 1:8, Romans 5:8)


  • We believe that salvation – the forgiveness of sins – comes only by grace ​through the blood of Jesus Christ. It is offered to all persons, all of whom ​are created in the image of God. (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 11:6, John ​14:6)


  • We believe that the Bible clearly outlines the pattern to follow Christ as ​Lord: to believe in Christ as God’s Son and Savior of the world, to repent ​of personal sin, to confess Christ publicly, and to be immersed in ​baptism. (Acts 2:36-39, 8:36-38, 9:18, 10:47-48, 16:31-33)


  • We believe that God is the Creator of all people, that they are created ​male and female in his image, that He knows them from conception, and ​therefore that each man and woman is inherently precious. (Psalm ​139:13-16, Jeremiah 1:5, Luke 1:41 & 44)


  • We believe that God created and designed marriage to be one woman ​and one man committed for life. Any sexual relationship outside of ​marriage is sin. (Mark 10:6-9, Romans 1:26-27, Matthew 5:27-30, ​Ephesians 5: 22-33)


  • We believe that the church is the body and bride of Christ (Ephesians ​5:25-27), was founded on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2), and consists of all ​Christians everywhere. (Galatians 3:28, Colossians 3:11, Romans 10:12-​13)


  • We believe that God created the church to have unity. Unity in the ​church is non-negotiable. In matters of faith, unity; in matters of opinion, ​liberty; in all things, love. (1 Corinthians 1:10, John 17:21, Ephesians 4:1-6)


  • We believe that death seals the eternal destiny of each person. The ​saved will be resurrected to eternal life with God; the unsaved will be ​resurrected to the judgment of eternal separation from God. (Hebrews ​9:27, 1 Corinthians 15:21-22, Matthew 25:31-46)


One day God, who created the heavens and the Earth, will bring life on Earth ​to a conclusion. While accepting various understandings of how God will ​bring this about, we trust that Christ will come again and will call His own to ​Himself. (Matthew 24, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
