What We Believe

In a world where beliefs and stances seem extremely fluid and relative, the church has to be sure that our foundation is sure and unchanged.  As a New Testament church, the foundational pillars of belief guide and determine how we live our lives and make difficult decisions.  Our filter can only be the Word of God.


Below we have stated foundational belief that guide the way our church functions as the Body of Christ.  As always, if you read through and have questions please contact us to talk through any questions or need for clarity in what we believe.

Foundations

The Scriptures

We believe the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God and that men were moved by the Spirit of God to write the very words of Scripture. Therefore, we believe that Bible is without error.

God

We believe in one God who exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ is the second member of the Trinity (the Son of God) who became flesh to reveal God to man and to become the Savior of the lost world.

Mankind

We believe that mankind was created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him but became alienated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, man is incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through his own effort.


Salvation

We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ shed on the cross provides the sole basis for forgiveness of sin. Therefore, salvation occurs only when a person places his or her faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as the sufficient payment for his or her sin.

Christian Life

We believe that the church is the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head. The members of the church are those who have trusted by faith the finished work of Christ. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving Him and by making Him known to the lost world.

Strategy

Creating environments where people are encouraged and equipped to pursue intimacy with God, community with friends, and influence with outsiders.
