Our Beliefs

We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.

  • Jesus Christ

    Jesus Christ is at the center of everything. We believe that Jesus is the only one who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life. We believe that Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised.

  • The Trinity

    We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy.

  • The Bible

    We believe that the Bible is God’s Word. It is accurate, authoritative, and applicable to our everyday lives. We believe the word of God has an ultimate purpose to connect us to the Living Word, Jesus Christ.

  • The Fall

    We believe that sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives.

  • The Reconciliation

    We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and a fresh start with God, we must repent of our sins, believe in Jesus, and commit to His will for our lives.

  • Sanctification: Initial, Progressive, Entire

    We believe that sanctification is that work of the Holy Spirit by which the child of God is separated from sin unto God and is enabled to love God with all the heart and to walk in all His holy commandments blameless. Sanctification is initiated at the moment of justification and regeneration. From that moment there is a gradual or progressive sanctification as the believer walks with God and daily grows in grace and in a more perfect obedience to God. This prepares for the crisis of entire sanctification which is wrought instantaneously when believers present themselves as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to God, through faith in Jesus Christ, being effected by the baptism with the Holy Spirit who cleanses the heart from all inbred sin. The crisis of entire sanctification perfects the believer in love and empowers that person for effective service. It is followed by lifelong growth in grace and the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The life of holiness continues through faith in the sanctifying blood of Christ and evidences itself by loving obedience to God’s revealed will.

  • The Church

    We believe in the power and significance of the Church and the necessity of believers to meet regularly together, to be an outpost, an embassy, of the Kingdom of God here on the earth. As the Church we are ambassadors for Jesus and the Kingdom of God, His representatives to people who are not yet part of the Kingdom of God.

  • The Restoration

    We believe Jesus is coming again, and when he does he will bring His Kingdom, the Kingdom of God, in all its fullness. Meaning, all wrongs will be made right, The Fall will be reversed.

  • Marriage, Family, and Sexuality

    Made in the image of God, people were created with equal intrinsic value and two distinct biological sexes only male and female. God designed marriage to be a union between one male and female. Sex is to take place solely in the context of a married couple. Because we trust that the creator God is good and wise, we embrace the loving wisdom of his design.
