Our Beliefs and Values

What We Believe & How We Live

Our Beliefs

Rooted in Scripture, Grounded in the Gospel

We believe in one God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Salvation comes by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone.
The Bible is the inspired Word of God, our ultimate authority for faith and life.
We align with the Baptist Faith and Message 2000.

The Trinity

God is eternal and exists as one God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The Father creates and sustains all things, the Son redeems through His life, death,
and resurrection, and the Holy Spirit empowers and transforms believers today.

Eternal God — Deut. 33:27; Job 36:26; Rev. 1:8
One God in three persons — Matt. 28:19
The Father — Gen. 1:1; Isa. 45:7; Rev. 4:11
The Son — John 1:1–2, 14; John 10:30; Col. 2:9
The Holy Spirit — John 16:7–11; Acts 1:8; Rom. 8:9

Salvation

Salvation is the gift of God’s grace and cannot be earned by works.
Through the conviction of the Holy Spirit, a person is led to faith
in Christ’s atoning sacrifice and righteousness.

Grace through faith — Eph. 2:8–10
New birth — John 3:3–7; Titus 3:5
Redemption — Eph. 1:7
Confession & repentance — Rom. 10:9; 1 John 1:9

Baptism

Baptism is a public declaration of faith and identification with Christ’s death
and resurrection. It symbolizes new life — not the means of salvation,
but a testimony of it.

Commanded — Matt. 28:18–20; Acts 10:48
Symbol of union — Rom. 6:3–4
Spirit, not water, saves — Luke 3:16; 1 Cor. 12:13

The Word of God

The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God.
Written through human authors by the Holy Spirit, it reveals God's will
and is sufficient for all matters of faith and life.

Inspired — 2 Pet. 1:20–21
God-breathed — 2 Tim. 3:16
Truth — John 17:17
Endures forever — Ps. 119:160

Our Core Values

We live out our faith through worship, growth, and love.

Exaltation

Growing in God’s Word

“So that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
