What We Believe

Core beliefs

Our teaching and ministry are rooted in the foundational truths of the Bible. In short:

God

One eternal God in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — creator of all that exists, perfect in love, holiness, goodness, wisdom, justice, and mercy, the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Revelation

God makes himself known through Jesus Christ, the visible image of the invisible God, through holy scripture, and through creation itself.

Mankind

Humans, male and female, are created in God’s image for his glory, and appointed as caretakers of the rest of creation.

The Fall

When the first humans chose disobedience, they became distorted images of God; fellowship with God — and all of creation — was fractured.

Salvation

Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God: he lived without sin, died on the cross, and was raised from the dead. By grace, eternal life is offered as a free gift to all who follow Christ by faith — salvation is found in Christ alone.

The Church

The Church is the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Resurrection

Jesus Christ will return to judge the living and the dead, and to usher in the fullness of God’s kingdom on earth.
