God is called Father because He is the Father over all creation. He is also Father by intimate relationship. He is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and He is the Father of all who believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Eph. 3:14,15 | Ps. 103:13 | Eph. 1:3 | Jn. 1:12
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, a fully divine person of the Trinity. He exalts Christ. He manifests the active presence of God in the world, and especially in the church. He convicts men of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. He indwells the believer and leads the church in worship, discipleship, and service. Is. 59:21 | Jn. 14:17 | Jn. 14:26 | Jn. 16:8
The resulting work of the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross brought salvation to the world, and is a gift of God redeeming us from our sin and reconciling us to our God. Jesus came to earth and accomplished salvation for all who would believe. All who turn from their sin and believe on Jesus receive this gift of salvation. As a result of this faith, all His followers will seek to be like Jesus, live like Jesus, and love like Jesus. Jn. 5:24 | Jn. 8:31 | Rom. 5:9,10 | Eph. 2:9,10
Baptism is the public declaration of a believer's faith, pursuing obedience to the teachings of Jesus, and sharing in Christ's burial and resurrection. We believe it symbolizes death to your old life and announces your new life in Christ, which celebrates your inclusion into God's family. Mt. 28:19 | Acts 8:36-38 | Rom. 6:3,4
The bread and cup of Communion remembers and celebrates Jesus' life, death, burial, and resurrection, instituting a New Covenant with all believers.

There is one and only one living and true God who is sovereign, and the creator of all things. He eternally exists as three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and each of these persons is fully God and are united as one. Gen. 1:26 | Dt. 6:4 | Mt. 28:19 | Ps. 45:6-7
Jesus Christ has always been fully God, and became fully man in one person, and will be so forever. He created all things with the Father and has existed always. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He perfectly fulfilled the divine law by His obedience to it, and in His substitutionary death on the cross, He made provision for the redemption of men from sin. In His bodily, historical resurrection, He overcame death and sin for all who believe. Lk. 1:35 | Jn. 1:1 | Jn. 1:14 | Jn. 3:16 | Jn. 3:34,35 | Jn. 14:31
We believe that the essence of the gospel is an understanding that we are more rebellious against God than we can ever know and also more loved by God than we can ever comprehend.We also believe that the gospel of Jesus is demonstrated through His life, death, burial, resurrection, and teachings. He taught that He will redeem us, He will renew us, bring us into obedience, and ultimately He will restore us to His eternal dwelling place. He has chosen us to join Him in inviting all others to follow this same pattern that He set forth. Mk. 16:15 | Jn. 12:32 | Jn. 14:6 | 1 Cor. 15:1-4
The church is both local and Universal. The Universal Church is the community of all true believers for all time. The local church is a faith filled community of worshipers who are united as an intentional community of disciples under the headship of Christ and godly servant- leaders.

The second coming of Jesus is the hope and reminder that God is faithful, and that He has ultimate control over all things. Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly, and Christ will judge all men in righteousness. We believe that God will fulfill all future promises and prophecies regarding the second coming of Jesus. Rev. 19:11-16 | Jn. 14:3 | Zech. 14:4
