What we believe
We hold to the historic Christian faith and to the truth of God's Word. Below is a summary of our statement of faith.
- One God, eternal and Triune — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — sovereign in authority.
- Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through Him.
- The Holy Spirit indwells, empowers, and regenerates every believer as our Comforter.
- The blood of Jesus atones for our sins — we are saved, healed, and set free through Him.
- Water baptism by immersion, publicly identifying with the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ.
- The gifts of the Holy Spirit are for today — tongues, prophecy, healing, and miracles.
- The Bible is God's inspired Word — truth without any mixture of error.
