LAYING A DOCTRINAL FLOOR 2024     WE BELIEVE…

GOD IS, WAS, AND FOREVER WILL BE… We believe God is eternal, all-knowing, all-powerful, all-present, all-good, and the source of all-good. He is one, and yet He reveals Himself in Scripture in three equal persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit).

GOD CREATES… We believe that God is the creator of the heavens, the earth, and all mankind.  He is the very source of, and sustainer of all life!  “In Him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28).  He sovereignly rules over all He has created - working all things together according to His good and perfect will (Romans 8:28)!  

GOD SPEAKS… We believe God speaks through His creation (Romans 1:19-20), and even more clearly through His Word - both written (Scripture - 2 Timothy 3:16) and incarnate (Jesus – John 14:10).  His self-revelation is sufficient for us to truly know Him, and to live our lives in response to Him.

GOD IS WITH US… We believe that God took on flesh and dwelt among us in the person of Jesus Christ (John 1:14), as the only begotten and eternal Son of God (John 3:16). Jesus is Immanuel - God with us! (Matthew 1:23).

GOD UNDERSTANDS… We believe that when Jesus walked this earth, He was both fully God (conceived by the Holy Spirit), and fully human (born of the virgin Mary). Therefore, God understands our greatest human needs and He can address them through His Son (Hebrews 2:14; 2:17; 4:15;7:26-27).

GOD PROVIDES… We believe we are all people in need of a Savior because we are all sinners in need of saving!  God has provided an all-sufficient Savior in Jesus Christ, who suffered, was crucified, died, and was buried, to pay the penalty we all deserve for our sin (Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, John 3:16)!

GOD SAVES… We believe Jesus conquered the power of sin, the devil, and death itself, when on the 3rd day in the grave he rose again from the dead. Jesus' victory ensures our victory, through God's eternal gift of salvation by faith in the resurrected Jesus (John 3:16, John 11:25, 1 Corinthians 15:55-57, 1 Peter 1:3-5)


GOD INTERCEDES... We believe that our risen Savior ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God.  He is there as our advocate with the Father, interceding on behalf of all who belong to Him (Acts 1:9, Hebrews 7:25, 1 John 2:1).

GOD RETURNS... We believe that Jesus will return one day, God in the flesh, to judge the living and the dead!  Those who have put their faith in Him, and in all He accomplished in His first coming, will stand eternally justified in His second coming.  Those who have rejected Him in this life will suffer His eternal judgment (Matthew 25:31-46, Luke 21:28, Philippians 3:20-21, 2 Thessalonians 1:6-10).  

GOD MOVES... We believe God is still at work in us, and in the world, bringing His glorious plan of redemption to fruition through the work of the Holy Spirit!  The Holy Spirit, as well as the Father and the Son, is fully God, and is given to us personally that we might share in all His blessings and advance His Kingdom reign throughout the world.  (1 Cor. 6:19, 2 Cor. 1:21-22, Acts 9:31) 

GOD GATHERS, PROTECTS, & PRESERVES... We believe God is building His Church, from the dawn of creation until the end of time.  This Church is more than a building, it is people united in true faith.  We rejoice that in Christ we are among those whom God Himself gathers, protects, and preserves unto eternal life!
(Ephesians 1:3-14, John 10:27-28, 1 Peter 1:3-5)

GOD EQUIPS... We believe that the Church, made up of all believers, share in Christ and all His treasures and gifts.  These gifts are given to each one for the service and enrichment of the other members, and to further the work of God’s Kingdom here on earth!  (1 Cor. 12:4-7, 12-13, 20-27; Rom. 12:4-8)
