What We Believe

Our core convictions.

01

Scripture

The Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God — the final standard for all faith and practice.

02

The Trinity

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

03

Salvation

Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Every person who confesses Jesus as Lord and believes in His resurrection is saved.

04

Baptism

Believer's baptism by immersion is an outward declaration of an inward transformation — a public testimony of faith in Christ.

05

The Church

The local church is the body of Christ, called to worship, teach, serve, and share the gospel with the world.

06

The Return of Christ

We believe in the personal, visible return of Jesus Christ and the resurrection of the dead for eternal life with God.

Come as you are.
