We believe that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God. It is fully authoritative in all matters of faith and practice. The Scriptures, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, are God’s revelation to humanity, providing guidance for life, salvation, and spiritual growth. We affirm that the Bible is sufficient for understanding God’s will and truth, and we seek to honor and obey its teachings in all aspects of our lives. Every part of the Bible points to Jesus, who is the focus of everything God has revealed.

We believe in the one true and living God, who is infinite, perfect, and sovereign over all creation. He is the Creator and Sustainer of all things, ruling with absolute holiness, wisdom, and love. We believe in the doctrine of the Trinity: that God eternally exists as three distinct persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—yet is one God. Each person of the Trinity is fully God, equal in divine nature, power, and glory, yet they carry out distinct roles in perfect unity.

God the Father is the sovereign Creator and Ruler of all things, who sent His Son to redeem humanity and adopts believers as His children.

God the Son, Jesus Christ, is fully God and fully man. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, rose from the dead, and now reigns in heaven.

God the Holy Spirit indwells believers, convicts the world of sin, leads the church in truth, and empowers Christians to live for God’s glory.

Though the word “Trinity” does not appear in Scripture, the Bible clearly teaches this truth (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14). We worship one God in three persons, a mystery beyond human comprehension but essential to the Christian faith.

All people are uniquely created by God, made in His image. He designed people as male and female, and this gift of gender is part of His good creation. At first, man was innocent, given the freedom to choose by God. But through his choice, man disobeyed and brought sin into the world. Tempted by Satan, man broke God’s command, and as a result, all humans inherit a sin nature. From the moment we are capable of making moral decisions, we too become guilty and deserve condemnation. Only God’s grace can restore us and help us fulfill the purpose He originally created for us. The value of every person is clear, as we are made in God’s image, and Christ gave His life for us. Therefore, every individual, no matter their race, deserves respect, dignity, and Christian love.

To believe means to rely on or trust Jesus—not just intellectually agree with facts about Him but to depend on Him as your Savior.

Salvation is not based on works or human effort but on God’s grace. It is a transformation that changes how we live and view the world. Salvation is:

Immediate. The moment you believe, you are saved and have eternal life (John 5:24).

Irrevocable. Salvation cannot be lost, because it is based on Jesus’ finished work, not your efforts (John 10:28-29).

By grace alone. Salvation is not a reward for doing good but a gift for those who trust in Christ (Romans 4:4-5).

Salvation is a free gift from God, not something we can earn through good deeds or effort. It comes through believing in Jesus Christ as the Son of God who died for our sins and rose again (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8-9). When we put our trust in Him, God forgives us, restores us, and gives us new life. Through Jesus, we can live according to God’s design and find true purpose and peace.

We believe the Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts to every believer for the building up of the church and the glory of God (1 Corinthians 12:4-11). These gifts should be used in love, unity, and accordance with Scripture (Ephesians 4:11-16). While some gifts were specific to the early church, all believers today are equipped for service, encouragement, and ministry (Romans 12:6-8; 1 Peter 4:10-11). We encourage every member to use their gifts faithfully to serve others and advance the mission of Christ.

We believe that the church is a local congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel, and observes the ordinances. The church exists to glorify God through worship, teaching, fellowship, service, and the proclamation of the gospel. We believe the church is led by a team of pastors, who are called by God to be responsible for the spiritual oversight and care of the congregation, and deacons, who serve in practical roles to meet the needs of the church. While both men and women serve in various ways, the roles of pastor and deacon are reserved for men, according to Scripture.

Membership is a vital part of the church, where individuals commit to the mission, doctrine, and fellowship of the body. We strive to be a community that encourages one another in faith, holds each other accountable, and supports one another in love and service.

Church discipline is a loving process that seeks to restore those who have strayed from God’s truth (Matthew 18:15-17). It is not about punishment or condemnation but about lovingly helping individuals return to a right relationship with God and the church.

Why do we practice church discipline?

For holiness. To maintain the purity and testimony of the church (1 Corinthians 5:6-7). The church is called to be a light in the world, and discipline helps preserve its witness.

For restoration. To bring the individual back into fellowship with God and the church (Galatians 6:1). Discipline is an act of love and concern for their spiritual well-being.

For accountability. To encourage all members to live according to God’s Word and hold one another accountable in love.

What does church discipline look like?

1. Private conversation. If someone is in sin, address the issue one-on-one with gentleness and humility (Matthew 18:15).

2. Small group. If the individual does not respond, involve one or two others to confirm the matter (Matthew 18:16).

3. Church involvement. If the issue remains unresolved, bring the matter before the church for prayer and guidance (Matthew 18:17).

4. Restoration. The ultimate goal is to restore the individual to fellowship with God and the church.

Church discipline is not about judgment but about love. It reflects God’s desire for His people to live in holiness and unity.

We believe that marriage is an institution ordained by God, designed to reflect the relationship between Christ and His Church. Marriage is a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, where both partners are called to love, honor, and serve each other in mutual respect and sacrificial commitment. We believe that the family, built on the foundation of marriage, is a primary context for discipleship, spiritual growth, and the nurturing of children. Parents are entrusted with the responsibility to raise their children in the knowledge and fear of the Lord, teaching them to love and follow Jesus Christ. The church supports families by offering biblical teaching, encouragement, and community to help strengthen marriages and families in fulfilling God’s purposes.

We also recognize that divorce can occur due to the brokenness of sin, and we approach this topic with compassion and understanding. The church offers support, guidance, and counseling for those navigating the challenges of divorce, emphasizing God’s grace and the hope of healing and restoration in Christ.

We affirm that Jesus Christ instituted two ordinances for His Church: baptism and the Lord’s Supper. These ordinances are acts of obedience that symbolize the believer’s faith in Christ and their participation in the life of the Church. These ordinances do not provide salvation but serve as visible signs of the grace God has given us through Jesus Christ. We practice them in obedience to Scripture and as an expression of our faith in Him.
