Foundations
of Faith.

The Bible

God has given us His Word so we can know Him, recognize truth, and learn how to live.

The Bible is more than an inspirational book. It is the inspired and authoritative Word of God. Through its pages, God reveals His character, His plan of redemption, and His purpose for our lives. Scripture points us to Jesus and gives us a trustworthy foundation for what we believe and how we live.

2 Timothy 3:16–17 · 2 Peter 1:20–21 · Psalm 119:105 · John 17:17

The One True God

There is one God who eternally exists as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Christians do not worship three gods. We worship one eternal God revealed in three distinct Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father is God, Jesus Christ the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. Together they work in perfect unity in creation, redemption, and our daily relationship with God.

Deuteronomy 6:4 · Matthew 3:16–17 · Matthew 28:19 · 2 Corinthians 13:14

Jesus Christ

Jesus is fully God and fully man—the Savior, risen Lord, and King.

Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God who came to earth in human flesh. He lived without sin, revealed the Father, healed the sick, delivered the oppressed, and proclaimed the Kingdom of God. He died on the cross for our sins, rose bodily from the grave, ascended to Heaven, and is coming again. Salvation is found in Him alone.

John 1:1–14 · Colossians 1:15–20 · 1 Corinthians 15:3–4 · Acts 4:12

Salvation & Repentance

Salvation is God’s gift, received by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

Sin separates every person from God, and we cannot rescue ourselves through good works or religious effort. Jesus took our sin upon Himself and made forgiveness and new life available through His death and resurrection. Repentance means turning from sin and turning toward God. When we trust Jesus and confess Him as Lord, we are forgiven, born again, and brought into God’s family.

John 3:3–17 · Acts 2:38 · Romans 10:9–10 · Ephesians 2:8–9

Faith & Following Jesus

Faith is trusting God enough to build your life upon His Word.

Faith is more than agreeing that God exists. It is placing our confidence in His character, His promises, and the finished work of Jesus. Living faith produces obedience, love, perseverance, and spiritual growth. We learn to follow Jesus through Scripture, prayer, worship, fellowship, serving, and the daily help of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 10:17 · Hebrews 11:1, 6 · James 2:17 · Galatians 5:6

Water Baptism & the Holy Spirit

Jesus calls us to identify with Him publicly and empowers us to live as His witnesses.

Water baptism by immersion is a public declaration that we have died to the old life and have been raised to new life with Christ. We also believe the baptism in the Holy Spirit is available to every believer, empowering us for holy living, bold witness, spiritual service, and participation in the supernatural ministry of Jesus. We believe speaking in other tongues, as the Spirit gives utterance, is the initial physical evidence of this experience.

Matthew 28:19 · Romans 6:3–4 · Acts 1:4–8 · Acts 2:1–4
