We believe that the gospel is the central truth of the Bible, the foundation of our faith, and the fuel for the Christian life. The gospel is the good news that while we were dead in our sin, God sent his son Jesus to live a perfect life on our behalf, die a substitutionary death to pay the penalty for our sin, and rise again from the grave to offer us new life in his Spirit.
Acts 2:22–2:39; Galatians 3:13; 1 Corinthians 15:3–15: 1Corinthians 8; 2 Corinthians 5:21
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe who exists eternally as a Trinity of three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Genesis 1:1, 26-27, 3:22,
Psalm 90:2, 1 Peter 1:2-3
The Father is the first person of the Trinity who controls all things according to His purpose and for His glory.
Isaiah 64:8, Matthew 6:9, 7:11,
John 1:12, Romans 8:15-16
Jesus Christ is the fully divine and fully human Son of god who lived a sinless life and offered Himself as the sacrifice for our sins dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days, ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again to gather all who believe in Him.

1 Timothy 6:14-15, Hebrews 4:14-15,

The Holy Spirit is present in every Christian convicting of sin, convincing of truth and conforming us to Christ's image. After regenerating a person, He provides spiritual gifts, power for living and guidance in doing right.

1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16,
Ephesians 1:13, 5:18,
Galatians 5:25, Philippians 2:13
The Bible is God's Word to us, written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Bible is the basis for what we believe and the way we live. It is God-breathed, God-inspired, and God's way of revealing Himself to mankind, and he does this perfectly through His Holy Word without error.
2 Timothy 1:13, 3:16,
2 Peter 1:20-21, Proverbs 30:5,
Psalm 12:6, 119:105, 160
Human beings are created in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character, but are born with the fallen sin nature of Adam. Sin separates people from God and one another.
Genesis 1:27, Psalm 8:3-6,
Isaiah 53:6, 59:1-2, Romans 3:23
Salvation is God's free gift to us which we receive by trusting in Jesus Christ for forgiveness. We are born again by faith alone, not by any good works that we do.
Romans 5:1, 6:23, Titus 3:5,
Ephesians 2:8-9, Galatians 3:26,
John 14:16, 1:12
Eternity exists for all people who will either live forever in God's presence in heaven or forever be separated from Him in hell.
John 3:16, 4:17,
Romans 6:23, 8:17-18,
1 Corinthians 2:7-9, Revelation 20:15
We believe the local church is essential to God’s plan for the Great Commission. Sundays are a natural starting point, an open door for anyone who is unsure of what they believe to come and see, hear the Gospel, and experience authentic community. For the Christian, though, the church goes beyond Sunday. The church is not a building, but a gathering of the redeemed, those called out by God and united in Christ. Through the teaching of Scripture, prayer, and intentional community, believers are equipped for the work of ministry and shaped into the likeness of Christ. The church is not meant to be a place of passive comfort, but a people being formed and sent living on mission and carrying the Gospel into everyday life.
