What does your church believe?
Our faith is centered on Jesus Christ and grounded in the Bible.
We believe the Bible is true and trustworthy. It shows us who God is, who we are, and how we can live the life God designed for us. We believe there is one God. That one God revealed Himself as our Creator, came to us as Jesus Christ to save us, and now lives in us through His Holy Spirit. Jesus isn’t just a good teacher, He is God with us. We believe everyone needs grace. All of us fall short at times. Sin separates us from God, but Jesus came to make a way back through forgiveness, healing, and a fresh start. We believe following Jesus brings real change. The Bible teaches that this new life begins when we turn away from sin and turn toward God, when we are baptized in water in the name of Jesus and when we receive the Holy Spirit, who empowers us to live a transformed life. We believe this is about a relationship with Jesus that changes us from the inside out.
