Statement of Faith
Our doctrinal foundation rooted in Scripture
We are a confessional community. At the heart of our union is the truth of God's Word that we believe, cherish, and proclaim together. While the Bible is our only infallible rule of faith and practice, we are also committed—and accountable—to a specific statement of faith that represents a summary of the teaching of Holy Scripture on key points of doctrine essential to the beliefs, conduct, and witness of our church.
Brief Doctrine Overview
Scripture
All of Scripture is breathed out by God, being accurately delivered through various human authors by the inspiration and sovereign agency of the Holy Spirit.
God
The one true God eternally exists as three persons–Father, Son, and Holy Spirit–infinitely excellent and all-glorious. Each person is fully God, sharing the same deity, attributes, and essential nature, yet there is but one God.
Mankind
All human beings are made in the image of God. Despite the effects of the fall on sinful humanity, all people remain God's image bearers, capable of fellowship with him and possessing intrinsic dignity and value at every stage of life from conception to death.
Gospel
The gospel is the good news of who Jesus is, the divine man, and what He did in His atoning and substitutionary death for sinners, His resurrection, and His ascension.
Salvation
The salvation of sinners is wholly of grace, through the mediatorial office of the Son of God, who was appointed by the Father to this purpose.
The Local Church
The church exists to worship God, to edify and mature His people, and to bear witness to Christ and His kingdom in all the world. Governed by Scripture, the church gathers for the teaching of the Word, prayer, the sacraments, congregational singing, fellowship, and mutual edification through the exercise of spiritual gifts. The church's mission is to make disciples of all nations, teaching them to observe all that Christ has commanded.
Statement of Faith
Grounded in Truth
Our statement of faith reflects our commitment to biblical truth and serves as the foundation for our church's teaching, worship, and mission.
Our Foundation
As a church, we stand firmly on the Word of God as our ultimate authority. We believe in the Trinity—God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and the Gospel of Jesus Christ as the power of God for salvation. We affirm the sovereignty of God in all things, the necessity of grace through faith alone, and the call to live holy lives as followers of Christ.
These beliefs shape our worship, guide our discipleship, and inform our mission to make disciples of all nations. We are committed to biblical truth while maintaining unity in the essential doctrines of the Christian faith.
