WHAT WE BELIEVE

WE'RE ALL ABOUT GOD’S WORD

The Bible isn’t just an ancient book—it’s God’s voice for today. It’s how we learn who He is, what matters to Him, and how we’re called to live. Every part of it is inspired by God and it gives us wisdom, direction, and purpose for every season of life (1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:21).

GOD IS FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT

We believe in one God who exists in three persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. They’re all fully God, completely unified, and totally personal. God the Father created everything. Jesus is God in human form, who came to rescue us. And the Holy Spirit is God’s presence in us—empowering us to live with purpose and boldness (John 1:1, 14, 18; John 15:26; Philippians 2:6).

SIN IS REAL, BUT SO IS THE CROSS

We were created for a real relationship with God—but sin broke that connection. The truth is, we’ve all messed up. But here’s the good news: Jesus stepped into our mess, died for our sins, and made a way for us to come back to God. Through His sacrifice, we find forgiveness, freedom, and a fresh start (Romans 3:10–26; Romans 5:8; 1 John 3:8).

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE BORN AGAIN?

Following Jesus isn’t about religion—it’s about being made new. When we realize our need for God, turn away from sin, and put our faith in Jesus, He transforms us from the inside out. That moment of surrender is what the Bible calls being “born again.” It’s the start of real life—eternal life (John 3:3–5; Ephesians 2:8; Romans 10:9–10).

BAPTISM IS GOING PUBLIC WITH YOUR FAITH

Water baptism is a powerful moment where we say, “My life belongs to Jesus.” It’s a way to show the world that we’ve died to our old life and we’ve been raised into something new because of what Jesus did (Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4; Colossians 2:12).

THE HOLY SPIRIT GIVES US POWER

Jesus didn’t leave us to figure things out alone—He gave us the Holy Spirit. Being baptized in the Holy Spirit fills us with power to live boldly, love others deeply, and walk in spiritual gifts. It’s available to every believer and often includes speaking in tongues, miracles, and seeing God move in real-time (Acts 1:8; Acts 2:4; John 14:12; 1 Corinthians 12:8–10).

HOLINESS

God calls us to live different. Holiness doesn’t mean we’re perfect—it means we’re becoming more like Jesus every day. As we walk with Him, He changes our hearts, our habits, and our purpose. It’s a process, and it’s worth it. We desire to be more like Jesus today than we were yesterday and more like Jesus tomorrow than we are today (Hebrews 12:14; 2 Corinthians 3:18; 1 Thessalonians 5:23).

LET’S TALK IDENTITY, SEXUALITY, & MARRIAGE

Culture has a lot to say about identity and sex—but so does God. We believe God created us male and female, and His design for sex is within marriage between a man and a woman. It’s not about rules—it’s about trusting that God knows what’s best for us. Our bodies matter. Our choices matter. And holiness applies to every part of life—including our sexuality (Genesis 1:27; 1 Corinthians 6:9–20; Romans 1:18–32; Hebrews 13:4).

YES—GOD STILL HEALS

Whether it’s physical pain, mental battles, or emotional wounds—God still brings healing. Jesus made a way for us to experience wholeness in every part of our lives. Through prayer, faith, and the work of the Holy Spirit, healing is possible (Isaiah 53:4–5; James 5:14–15; 1 Peter 2:24).

WHY WE MUST GO

We believe eternity is real. Heaven and Hell are not just concepts—they’re destinies. God loves people so much that He gives everyone the chance to choose Him. But that decision has to be made in this life. That’s why we share the Gospel—because people matter, and Jesus is too good to keep to ourselves (Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 20:15; Matthew 28:18–20).

JESUS IS COMING BACK

Our hope isn’t just in today—it’s in what’s to come. Jesus is coming back, and when He does, He’s making everything right. No more pain. No more injustice. No more death. Just perfect peace in His presence, forever. Until then, we will go and bring the outside world in (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; Revelation 21:1–7; 1 John 3:3).
