OUR BELIEFS
Our Foundation in Faith
We strive for the highest standards in everything we do.
The Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God.
We believe the Bible is the divinely inspired, authoritative, and error-free Word of God. It is the final standard for truth and life. 📖 2 Timothy 3:16–17, 2 Peter 1:20–21, Proverbs 30:5
There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
God is triune—one essence, three distinct persons. Each is fully God, co-eternal, and co-equal. 📖 Matthew 28:19, Genesis 1:26, 2 Corinthians 13:14, Deuteronomy 6:4
Salvation is a gift of grace received through faith in Jesus Christ.
We are saved not by works, but by God’s grace through faith in Christ alone, who paid the price for our sin. 📖 Ephesians 2:8–9, Romans 10:9–10, Titus 3:5
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, rose again, and will return.
Jesus is fully God and fully man. He lived without sin, died for our redemption, rose from the dead, and will one day return. 📖 1 Corinthians 15:3–4, Hebrews 4:15, Acts 1:11, John 1:1, 14
The Holy Spirit indwells believers, enabling them to live godly lives.
The Holy Spirit lives in every believer, guiding, convicting, and empowering them to live according to God’s Word. 📖 Romans 8:11, John 14:26, Galatians 5:22–25
The Holy Spirit is alive and active today.
We affirm that the gifts and power of the Holy Spirit did not cease but continue to operate through believers today. 📖 Acts 2:17–18, 1 Corinthians 12:4–11, Joel 2:28
There are only male and female, and marriage is a divine construction for them alone.
God created humanity as male and female in His image, and marriage is a sacred union designed by God between one man and one woman. 📖 Genesis 1:27, Matthew 19:4–6, Mark 10:6–9
We are made in the image of God, from the moment of conception to our dying breath.
Every human life is sacred, beginning at conception and lasting through natural death, because we are made in the image of God. 📖 Psalm 139:13–16, Genesis 1:26–27, Jeremiah 1:5
