God

There is one God, who eternally exists in three persons: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal, co-eternal, and distinct from each other, yet one. The doctrine of God's Triune nature is called the Trinity.

Genesis 1:1, 1 John 5:7, Genesis 1:26, Matthew 3:16-17, Matthew 28:19, Luke 1:35, Isaiah 9:6, Hebrews 3:7-11, 1 Peter 1:2

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach) is God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. On earth, Jesus was 100% God and 100% man. He is the only man ever to have lived a sinless life. He was born of a virgin, performed miracles, died on the cross for mankind, and thus, atoned for our sins through the shedding of His blood. He rose from the dead three days after He was crucified according to the Scriptures. He then ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will return again in honor, power, and glory.

John 1:1-3, John 1:14, John 20:28, Colossians 1:16, John 8:58, 1 Timothy 3:16, Isaiah 9:6, Philippians 2:5-6, 1 Timothy 2:5, Romans 9:5, Hebrews 4:15, Hebrews 9:26, Acts 1:9-11, Ephesians 1:19-20

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Holy Trinity who convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; and that He is the Supernatural Agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ, indwelling and sealing them until the day of redemption. According to the Scriptures, The Holy Spirit comforts us, teaches us, gives gifts to us, reminds us of everything Jesus has spoken, empowers us to live holy lives, and leads us into all truth.

Genesis 1:2, John 16:8-11, 1 Corinthians 6:19, Romans 8:9, Acts 1:8, Acts 2:1-4, John 14:26, Acts 2:38, Ezekiel 36:26-27

The Bible

The Holy Bible is the authoritative, inerrant and infallible Word of God. It is God’s revelation about Himself to man. It is historically accurate and internally consistent, telling one story of redemption pointing to Jesus Christ. God used 40 different authors to write the 66 books of the Bible, all being divinely directed by the Holy Spirit. The Bible is the living Word of God, applicable to all time and is the final authority in determining all doctrinal truths.

Matthew 24:35, Romans 16:25-26, 2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20-21, Proverbs 30:5, Isaiah 40:8, Psalm 19:7, Matthew 4:4, Hebrews 6:18

Man

God created Man in His own image and likeness as an upright, moral, and spiritual being. We voluntarily rebelled against God through sin and separated ourselves from His glory. Man's only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ.

Genesis 1:26-31, Genesis 3:1-7, Romans 5:12-21

Salvation

Salvation is a gift from God that can never be earned through good works or self-improvement. Salvation is only given by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, the redemption of our sin. Salvation is based on the work of Jesus on the cross, where He sacrificially died, bearing the sin and punishment of all mankind, and paying the price required of sin for all those who believe in Him.

John 3:16-18, Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 10:9-10, Acts 16:31, Galatians 2:16, Galatians 3:8, Hebrews 9:22, Titus 3:5

Baptism

Following faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the new convert is commanded by the Word of God to be baptized in water in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Baptism by immersion represents the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, symbolizing our old self dying, being buried in the water, and raised as a new creation in Christ Jesus. Anyone who has professed faith in Jesus Christ should be baptized at his or her conversion or soon after.

Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38, Acts 8:12, Acts 8:36-38, John 3:5, John 3:13

The Church

The Church is the local and global community of believers who acknowledge Jesus, the head, as their Lord and Savior. The Church is not a location, religious institution, or weekly event. The Church is the body of Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and made up of born-again believers who carry the divine mission of spreading the Gospel to the whole world and making disciples. The church gathers to worship, pray, grow through biblical instruction, and to strengthen and support each other.

Matthew 16:13-18, John 17:11, John 17:20-23, Acts 2:42-47, Ephesians 1:22, Ephesians 2:19-22, Hebrews 12:23, Hebrews 10:24-25, Colossians 1:17-20

The Lord's Supper

The Lord's Supper is a unique time of communion in the presence of God when bread and wine (the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ) are taken in remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross.

Matthew 26:26-29, 1 Corinthians 10:16, 1 Corinthians 11:23-25

Sanctity of Life

We believe that all human life is sacred and created by God in His image. Human life is of inestimable worth in all its dimensions, including unborn babies, children who are orphaned, those who experience physical or mental challenges, and every other stage or condition from conception to natural death. We are therefore called to defend, protect, and value all human life.

Psalm 139:13-16, Jeremiah 1:5, Matthew 6:26, Matthew 10:31

Marriage, Sexuality & Gender

We believe that marriage is a one-flesh covenant union between one male and one female from different families, and that all sexual relationships outside the biblical marriage covenant are sin. God has given his people two best ways to enjoy connection in family: celibate singleness for the sake of kingdom work with undivided attention, or lifelong marriage between one woman and one man.

Genesis 2:18-24, Genesis 1:26-27, Leviticus 18:22, Matthew 19:3-5, Mark 10:7-9, 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, 1 Corinthians 7:2

The Future

Jesus Christ will physically and visibly return to earth for the second time to establish His Kingdom. This will occur at a date undisclosed by the Scriptures. After living one life on earth, unbelievers will be judged by God and eternally separated from Him and tormented with the Devil and the Fallen Angels in the lake of fire. Believers will spend eternity with God, consciously enjoying a permanent, unlimited, and uninterrupted relationship with Him and other born-again believers.

Matthew 25:41, Matthew 5:29-30, Mark 9:43-48, Hebrews 9:27, Matthew 26:63-64, Revelation 1:7, Matthew 24:30, Revelation 14:9-11, Revelation 20:12-15, Revelation 21:1-5, Acts 1:9-11, 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17, Matthew 25:31-46
