About Us

Our story, our mission, and the people we serve.

What We Believe

The Word of God

We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God — the final authority in every area it addresses.

The Trinity

We believe in one God eternally existing as one essence and three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is God the Son. Born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died for our sins, rose on the third day, and will return in power and glory.

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the Holy Spirit who indwells every believer as our Helper, Teacher, and Guide, filling and empowering for ministry today.

Salvation

We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ — His death, burial, and resurrection. Salvation is a gift from God, not a result of our works.

Gifts of the Spirit

We believe in the present ministry of the Spirit and the exercise of biblical spiritual gifts to build and sanctify the church.
