Core Belief #2: Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is the only Son of God, both fully man and fully God. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He is fully alive in the presence of God and in His people. He was crucified, died, was buried, and was resurrected 3 days later. He is now seated in heaven at the right hand of the Father interceding on behalf of all believers. We believe that the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross forever paid the price for our sins, healing, and deliverance. Whoever calls on His name in faith shall be saved, through His perfect grace. [1 Corinthians 15:1-28; Acts 2:21]

Core Belief #5: Salvation
Our top priority is that all would hear of God’s love for them. We believe salvation is a gift of God and cannot be earned, but must be received by the grace of God through faith. We believe that God will not refuse those who humbly come to Him in repentance and accept His son Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. [Romans 3:23; Romans 5; Romans 10:13; 1 John 1:9]

Core Belief #7: The Church
We believe the church is God’s instrument to revealing His purpose on earth. We believe the church, the people of God, are God’s instrument to distribute His Glory on the earth. The church is defined as a gathering of believers, experiencing God together and growing in the knowledge of Him in order to display His goodness wherever they go. [Ephesians 1:22-23; 1 Peter 2:4-5; Ephesians 3:14-19; Ephesians 5:25-30]

Core Belief #8: Baptism & Communion
We practice both baptism and communion, as taught by the Bible. Baptism is a public act used to identify our lives in Christ. First, His death, and then with His resurrection into new life. Communion is a time of remembering Christ’s sacrifice and redemption offered for each one of us. [Matthew 3:6; Mark 16:16; 1 Corinthians 11:23-29]

Core Belief #9: Discipleship
We believe that the great commision as outlined in Mark 16 and Matthew 28 was not only a command from Jesus to all believers, but was also an invitation into the “greater things.” We believe that every Christian has a responsibility to answer Jesus’ call to preach the gospel, baptize new believers, and instruct one another in the teachings of Jesus.

Core Belief #10: Equality
We believe every person has been created by and is loved equally by God. Therefore as believers we should love others regardless of racial, cultural, or other societal differences. We also believe that every person who receives Jesus Christ as their Lord is a child of God. [Galatians 3:26-28]

Core Belief #11: Family
God has ordained the family as the foundational institution of human society. It is composed of persons related to one another by marriage, blood, or adoption. Marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime. The husband and wife are of equal worth before God, since both are created in God’s image. Furthermore, we believe in the sacredness of sexuality and marriage. Scripture teaches us that sexual intimacy is a gift only to be experienced within heterosexual marriage. Sexual intimacy outside of marriage, pornography, homosexuality and other immoral acts are not honoring to God's plan for family. A husband is to love his wife as Christ loved the church. He has the God-given responsibility to provide for, protect and lead his family. A wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband, even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ. She, being in the image of God, as is her husband, and thus equal to him, has the God-given responsibility to respect her husband and to serve as his companion in managing the household and nurturing the next generation. Children, from the moment of conception, are a blessing and gift from the Lord. Parents are to demonstrate to their children God’s pattern for marriage. [Genesis 1:27-28; Genesis 2:20-25; Ephesians 5:24-25; Titus 2:4-5; Psalm 139:13-15; Matthew 15:19; Romans 13:13; 1 Corinthians 6:9-20]
