Statement of Faith

 

We believe in one God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—eternally existing as three persons in perfect unity (Matt 3:16-17). God is the Creator and Sustainer of all things, sovereign over time and history, holy, merciful, and faithful to His promises (Psalm 104).

 

We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Word made flesh, fully God and fully man. All things were created in, through, and for Him (John 1:1-3). He lived a sinless life, revealed God’s love through His ministry, died as the blameless Lamb of God on the cross, rose bodily from the dead on the third day, ascended into heaven, and will return again in glory (Phil 2:6-11). Through His sacrificial death and resurrection, salvation is offered by grace through faith alone, not by works, securing forgiveness of sins and eternal life for all who trust in Him (1 Pet 2:24, Eph 2:8-9).

 

We believe the Holy Spirit is God, sent to dwell within believers as Advocate, Counselor, and Helper (John 14:16-17, 26). The Holy Spirit empowers Christ-centered living, convicts of sin, guides into truth, equips believers with spiritual gifts, and enables obedience, witness, and faithful service for God’s glory (Acts 1:8, John 16:13).

 

We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God and the final authority for faith, life, and godly living (2 Tim 3:16-17). Scripture shapes our identity, mission, and growth as sheep cared for by the Good Shepherd and as shepherds called to lead others to rest, restoration, and renewal in Christ (John 10:11, 14-15).

 

We believe all people are created in the image of God, intentionally and uniquely called for His purposes (Gen 1:26-27). Through Christ, believers are adopted as sons and daughters of the Most High King and receive an eternal inheritance (Eph 1:4-14). We are saved not by merit, but by grace, and are being sanctified as we live out our faith through love, service, and obedience (2 Cor 5:18-21).

 

We believe salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone (John14:6). Every person is invited to respond to God’s mercy by repentance, faith, and surrender to Christ as Lord (1 Tim 2:3-6). This salvation is secure, resulting in eternal life and a restored relationship with God (1 Pet 1:3-9).

 

We believe the Church is called to faithfully proclaim the gospel to all people—without distinction of race, culture, or status—inviting all to find refuge, healing, and life in Christ (Gal 3:28). Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we serve God humbly, boasting only in our weakness so that His power may be made known (2 Cor 12:9).
