Core Values
What shapes our heart
Scripture
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness. — 2 Timothy 3:16–17
Worship
You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellences of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. — 1 Peter 2:9
Acceptance
Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God. — Romans 15:7
Transformation
Present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God… be transformed by the renewal of your mind. — Romans 12:1–2
Statement of Beliefs
What we believe
About God
God is the creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed as three persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.
Genesis 1:1, 26–27; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14
About Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, born of a virgin, co-equal with the Father. He lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on the cross. He arose from the dead after three days and will return to Earth to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords.
Matthew 1:22–23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1–5
About the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son. He is present in the world to make people aware of their need for Jesus Christ, lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation, and provides power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He gives every believer spiritual gifts when we are saved.
2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7–13; Acts 1:8
About the Bible
The Bible is God's Word to us, written by human writers under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian belief and living — inspired by God and truth without any mixture of error.
2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20–21; Psalm 119:105, 160
About People
People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character, and are the supreme object of God's creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called sin, which separates us from God.
Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3–6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23
About Salvation
Salvation is God's free gift to us, but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin's penalty. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into their life by faith.
Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8–9; John 14:6; Titus 3:5
About Eternal Security
Because God gives us eternal life through Jesus Christ, the true believer is secure in that salvation for eternity. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian.
John 10:29; 2 Timothy 1:12; Hebrews 7:25, 10:10, 14; 1 Peter 1:3–5
About Eternity
People were created to exist forever — either eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.
John 3:16; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15
