Anchored in the gospel

We hold to the historic Christian faith: the Scriptures, the triune God, and the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Here is what we believe.

What we believe

Our beliefs

The Bible

Our faith is anchored in the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments. We hold these books as divinely inspired and the final authority for life and faith. As a community, we explore and learn from the Scriptures together, as we seek to know God more intimately.

2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21

The Trinity

We profess a faith that revolves around a triune God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, each fully God, yet one. We celebrate the mystery of the Trinity and the unique way each person of the Godhead works in our lives.

Matthew 28:18–19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 Peter 1:1–2

The Father

We believe in a personal, sovereign God who rules over His creation, judges according to His holiness, and compassionately reconciles a lost world to Himself.

Genesis 1; Exodus 4:22, 34:6–7; Romans 8:14–17; Ephesians 4:6

The Son

Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, lived among us, fully God and fully man. In Christ, we see the perfect reflection of God’s love. Through Him, we receive forgiveness, healing, hope, and a template of what it means to be human.

Isaiah 53:12; Luke 1:31–35; John 1:1–2, 14, 18; Colossians 1:19

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the redemptive work of the Holy Spirit, who convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and empowers us with spiritual gifts. As we engage with the Holy Spirit, we become more like Jesus and impact our world for His glory.

John 16:8; 1 Corinthians 12:7–11, 13; Ephesians 4:30, 5:18

Mankind and sin

We understand that sin has disrupted our relationship with God, but we also believe in the redemption and reconciliation made possible through Christ. As we navigate this tension, we encourage each other to live out the redemption we’ve received.

Genesis 3; Romans 3:23, 5:6–12, 6:23

The work of Jesus

We hold fast to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. His perfect life, atoning death, and victorious resurrection offer hope and salvation to all who believe. We celebrate salvation as a gift from God that we receive by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. As we each embrace this gift, we see lives transformed, relationships healed, and our community strengthened.

Matthew 27, 28; Romans 8:3, 5:12–21; 1 Corinthians 15:3–8; 2 Corinthians 5:21; John 10:27–30; 14:6; Galatians 2:20–21; Ephesians 2:8–10; 1 Peter 1:3–5
