The Gospel is the hope of the world. As we read the Scriptures, we see the overarching themes of God’s providence, power, and provision to reconcile mankind and the created world to Himself through the Person and work of Jesus Christ. In light of this, we aim to be explicitly Gospel-centered in all that we do.
We believe…
- The Scriptures are true, authoritative, and sufficient.
- There is only one God.
- We believe in one God eternally existing in one essence, yet three co-equal persons, the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, was born of a virgin, and is both fully God and fully human.
- Jesus Christ was tempted in every way that humanity is tempted today, and yet was without sin.
- Sin is described in the Bible as transgression of the law of God and rebellion against God. Every human being is born with a sin nature and, by their words and deeds, have sinned against God.
- The deserved penalty for sin is death, both physical and spiritual.
- Jesus Christ died as a substitute to pay the penalty, our penalty, for sin.
- Jesus Christ physically rose from the dead.
- Jesus Christ physically ascended into heaven and will one day physically return.
- There will be a future physical resurrection of the dead. Those who trust in Jesus Christ alone will be raised to eternal life & reward with Jesus. Those who have not trusted in Jesus Christ will be raised to eternal punishment.
- Only by trusting in the person and work of Jesus Christ alone can one be reconciled to God and experience true life and joy.
