Statement of Faith

We believe the Bible is absolute truth, given by God to govern our lives:

• The Inspiration: The Bible is the inspired, infallible, and completely trustworthy Word of God.
• The Purpose: It serves as the ultimate authority, revealing God's character, His truth, and His love to a broken world.

The Love and Authority of the Creator:

God’s Word is flawless, final and absolute; totally incapable of being wrong. He is the Truth--so we do not manufacture our own. His unchanging standards do not bend to cultural trends. We obey His commandments because they are perfect, loving blueprints designed for our good and His glory.

We Believe What Love Says

1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; John 3:16

We believe in the supreme, triune nature of God:

• The Definition: We worship one God, who loves us so deeply that He reveals Himself as our Father who protects us, Jesus who saves us, and the Holy Spirit who empowers us.
• The Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are equal in power, majesty, and glory.

The Roles (How They Work Together):

• The Father is the Author and Creator. He sets the plan in motion.
• The Son (Jesus) is the Word and Savior. He came to earth to show us God in human form and to save us from our sins.
• The Holy Spirit is the Comforter and Guide. He lives inside believers, giving us the power to live out God's plan.

The Love and Authority of the Creator:

God rules with absolute sovereignty and perfect love. As the Father who created us, the Son who redeemed us, and the Spirit who empowers us, He rightfully claims ownership over our lives. He demands our total surrender and reverence—not as a distant tyrant, but as a protective, triune God Who fiercely loves His creation and guides us into His perfect plan.

We Believe What Love Says

Matthew 28:19; John 10:30; Ephesians 4:4-6

We believe in the absolute deity and lordship of Jesus Christ:

• The Incarnation: He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, and lived a sinless life.
• The Sacrifice: He died a substitutionary death on the cross, shedding His blood to pay for our sins.
• The Victory: He rose from the dead, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return in power and glory to execute judgment.

The Love and Authority of the Creator:

Jesus Christ is King of kings, and His lordship is the ultimate demonstration of God's love. He exercised absolute authority over life and death by willingly sacrificing Himself to save us from eternal damnation.

We Believe What Love Says

Matthew 1:23; John 1:1-4, 1:29; Acts 1:11, 2:22-24; Romans 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:1-4, 4:15; 1 John 5:1

We believe that salvation is exclusive, demanding, and urgent:

• The Condition: Everyone is spiritually lost, trapped in sin, and face the certain, terrifying judgment of a holy God.
• The Only Way: Jesus Christ is the sole pathway to salvation; there is no alternative route to the Father.
• The Requirement: Salvation mandates repentance—a total turning away from sin—and uncompromised faith in Christ.
• The Final Outcomes: God will reward the righteous with eternal life in heaven and banish the unrighteous to hell.

The Love and Authority of the Creator:

God’s term for salvation is unalterable because His holiness cannot compromise with sin, yet His provision for our salvation was the ultimate act of love. Out of an intense love for us, He provided the rescue from the judgment we deserve. He does not alter His standards for cultural comfort; He commands repentance to save us from destruction.

We Believe What Love Says

Luke 24:46-47; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:8; 2 Corinthians 5:10-11; Ephesians 1:7, 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-7

We believe in the active, governing presence of the Holy Spirit:

• The Indwelling: The Holy Spirit takes up residence inside every true believer at the moment of salvation.
• The Power: He does not merely comfort; He actively convicts, transforms, and empowers the Christian to live a holy, obedient life.

The Love and Authority of the Creator:

God loves us too deeply to leave us unchanged so the Holy Spirit indwells us--convicting, guiding and correcting. His correction is an act of divine love empowering us to choose righteousness and live as we were designed: holy and blameless before Him.

We Believe What Love Says

John 3:5-8; Acts 1:8, 4:31; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 2:14; Galatians 5:16-18; Ephesians 6:12; Colossians 2:6-10

We believe in the resurrection of the saved and the lost:

• The Resurrection: Everyone who has ever lived will be resurrected from the dead.
• The Separation: The saved will be raised to receive eternal life, and the lost will be raised to experience eternal damnation.

The Love and Authority of the Creator:

God holds the absolute keys to death and eternity. His final decree is a reflection of His perfect justice and His respect for human free will. In His love, He gives us this lifetime to accept His truth, making His warnings about hell a profound act of mercy. Yet, God is so loving that He refuses to force eternity upon those who do not want Him. Hell is the tragic reality of God honoring a soul's choice to exist apart from His presence forever.

We Believe What Love Says

1 Corinthians 15:51-57; Revelation 20:11-15

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ:

• The Family: True believers are a supernatural family bound together across every tribe, language, nation, and culture.
• The Accountability: Being a member of His Church demands deep, personal accountability and uncompromised doctrinal integrity.

The Love and Authority of the Creator:

Jesus is the absolute Head of the Church, governing it with strict authority to protect His bride. Because He loves the Church so intensely, He commands us to protect the purity and unity of His body against cultural compromise. The rules of biblical accountability are not meant to restrict us, but to keep His family safely united in truth.

We Believe What Love Says

1 Corinthians 12:12, 27; Ephesians 1:22-23; Revelation 5:9, 14:6

We believe that human life is sacred from conception to its natural end:

• The Sanctity: Every human life matters and has incredible value from the first heart beat until the last.
• The Directive: We are commanded by God to protect life and aggressively tend to the physical and spiritual needs of our fellow man.

The Love and Authority of the Creator:

God alone gives life and He fiercely protects it with His laws. Because He fervently loves every soul He knit together in the womb, intentionally ending a human life—from conception to natural death—is a sin. Ending a life is a willful and defiant trespass against the Sixth Commandment, “You shall not murder.” This command to protect life is a non-negotiable law rooted entirely in His deep love for His creation.

We Believe What Love Says

Psalm 139:13-17; Isaiah 49:1; Jeremiah 1:5; Matthew 22:37-39; Romans 12:20-21; Galatians 6:10

We believe that God’s design for sex and marriage is holy:

• The Boundary: Sex is intended exclusively for the context of marriage between one biological man and one biological woman.
• The Purpose: God created men and women as distinct biological individuals to complement one another, establishing their union as the essential foundation of the family.

The Love and Authority of the Creator:

Every sexual boundary God establishes is a direct expression of His intense, protective love for us. As our Creator—the Potter fully understands the original design of His creation. His commandments are not restrictions to keep us from joy, but sovereign guardrails meant to protect the sanctity of the family and keep us from the devastation of broken boundaries.

We Believe What Love Says

Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5-6; Mark 10:6-9; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9; Isaiah 64:8; Jeremiah 18:6

We believe that God’s creative design is absolute and intentional:

• Sovereign Decree: Human identity is not a matter of chance or self-determination, but of divine decree. God forms every individual according to His perfect will, intentionally appointing our biological sex, attributes, and earthly frame.
• The Deliberate Masterpiece: Every soul is a deliberate creation designed according to His supreme wisdom. Every distinct, beautifully diverse attribute of who we are collectively reflects the infinite image, wisdom, and likeness of God.

The Love and Authority of the Creator:

God makes no mistakes in the womb; He intentionally designed our biological sex and race out of infinite love, supreme wisdom, and divine purpose. We were created for His glory, His purpose and His pleasure. He loves who He created us to be. Aligning our hearts with His craftsmanship is freedom.

We Believe What Love Says

Genesis 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9; Deuteronomy 22:5, Isaiah 43:7; Revelation 4:11; Psalm 139

We believe that these foundations are the ultimate expression of a Creator who loves us too deeply to leave us as we are. Far from limiting us, every truth outlined here is a boundary of grace designed to protect our joy, ensure our peace and seal our eternity.

From the timeless truth of His Word to the intentional design of our bodies and backgrounds, every boundary He establishes is a guardrail of love. He is a God of absolute authority, yet His authority is entirely driven by His love.

In accepting His truth, embracing who He uniquely created us to be, and walking in alignment with His Spirit, we do not lose ourselves—we find our truest identity. We stand united as His Church, secure in His love, transformed by His grace, and looking forward with unbroken hope to an eternity spent in His wonderful presence.

This is what God says so this is what we believe.
