find, follow, & serve Jesus

There is one God, the creator, who exists eternally in unity as three equal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The triune God is loving, holy, infinite, just, and worthy of all worship.

The Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is the written revelation of God’s character and saving purposes for humanity and for all creation. As God’s revelation, the entire Bible is true and trustworthy, and is the final and absolute authority for belief and conduct. The Holy Spirit who inspired the Bible enables its interpretation and application

Salvation is available to all people by the loving, redemptive act of the triune God. Through obedience to the Father, Christ gave Himself as a ransom. Christ, who had no sin, became sin for us offering Himself and shedding His blood on the cross so that in Him we might become right with God. The life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ provide the way of salvation for those who, by God’s grace, repent from their sin and confess faith in Jesus Christ as Lord.

On the Day of Pentecost, Jesus poured out the promised Holy Spirit on the church. As His return draws near, Jesus continues to baptize in the Holy Spirit those who are believers. This empowers them to continue His work of proclaiming with speech and action the good news of the arrival and coming of the kingdom of God. This experience is available for everyone, male and female, of every age, status, and ethnicity.

Jesus Christ is the head of the church. All who are united with Christ are joined by the Spirit to His body. Central to the church is the shared experience of the transforming presence of God. The church responds with worship, prayer, proclamation, discipleship, and fellowship, including the practices of water baptism and the Lord’s Supper (communion). Baptism by immersion symbolizes the believer’s identification with Christ in His death and resurrection. The Lord’s Supper symbolizes Christ’s body and blood, and our communion as believers. Shared together, it proclaims His death in anticipation of his return.
