We are a biblical church on a mission to know Jesus and make Him known.

We believe that humans, male and female, were created in the image of God and without sin. As God’s image-bearers, mankind is the crowning work of creation and every human life is sacred, valuable, and of great dignity and worth. Mankind was made to walk in fellowship with their Creator, reflecting and representing God by caring for and stewarding creation to his glory and for its good. We believe that God created humans distinct but complementary as male and female and ordained marriage to be a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman who unite in one flesh to reflect God’s glory.

(Genesis 1:26-28; 2:23-24; Psalm 8:5-8; Matthew 19:4-6, Ephesians 5:22-33)

We believe that though Adam and Eve were created as innocent people, through Adam’s sin humanity fell, becoming alienated from God, inherited a sinful nature, and experienced corruption that touches every aspect of our humanity (mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, relational). We believe all have sinned against God, stand condemned before him and under the judgment of physical and spiritual death, that in ourselves we are incapable of turning to God and saving ourselves, and so stand in desperate need of reconciliation and restoration to God by God. The fall of man also fractured God’s good world, bringing brokenness, pain, sickness, death, strained relationships, tragedy, and suffering into every area of creation and humanity. However, we do not believe sin has the final word but that Jesus came to restore all that was lost, including both humanity and all of creation.

(Genesis 1:26-28; 3:1-19; Romans 3:23; 5:12-21; 6:23; 8:18-21; Ephesians 2:1-12; Colossians 1:19-20)

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, promised as the coming Messiah in the Old Testament, having lived a sinless life, sent out of love by the Father, offered Himself as a substitutionary atoning sacrifice; that his perfect blood shed for us is the only means of the forgiveness of sins; and that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead. By his death and resurrection, Jesus defeated evil, sin, and death, and all who repent from their sin and believe in Him have eternal life.

(Isaiah 53:10; John 3:16; Romans 3:24-25; 5:1-2; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Ephesians 1:7; I Peter 1:3-5; 2:24; Hebrews 2:14; 9:22)

We believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead as the guarantee of our resurrection, and in His ascension into heaven where he is exalted as Lord and enthroned in power at the right hand of the Father, where he rules all things, and where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry of Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate.

(Acts 1:9-11; 2:29-36; Romans 1:3-5; 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:3–8, 20; Hebrews 7:25; 8:1; 9:24; I John 2:1-2)

We believe that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone, that genuine faith involves turning from sin and to God, and that true faith in Christ and his redemptive work will be made evident by a life of repentance and godliness. We believe salvation is wholly the work of God and possible only through the substitutionary death of Christ for sinners; that through the Spirit’s work of regeneration a person believes in Jesus, is united to him as our head and representative, declared righteous by God through Christ’s righteousness, made a new creature with new spiritual life, set free from the dominion of sin, set apart to God, and made His beloved child through the wonderful gift of adoption. We believe God loses none who are truly his own but that he preserves them in faith, sealing them by the Spirit, and keeping them until the culmination of salvation at the future glorification where all believers in Christ will forever abide in righteousness, purity, and wholeness.

(John 6:39-40; Romans 6:3-11; 8:1; 10:9; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 2:16; Ephesians 2:8-10; Philippians 2:12; 1 Peter 2:24; 3:18; 1 John 3:2; Revelation 21:1-5)
