What we teach

We’re glad you’re taking a close look at what we believe. With so many churches to choose from, it’s wise to make your decision based on how faithfully the Bible is taught.

Below is a summary of our core beliefs and teaching commitments. While we recognize that not every member of our church family will agree on every point, we seek to be clear and consistent in these areas. These convictions shape our teaching, and we look for the same shared clarity in those who serve in leadership.

We believe in God’s Word, the Bible.

We believe the 66 books of the Bible are from God, without error, carrying His authority, and relevant to our lives today. We look to God’s Word for guidance in all things.

Because of our belief in God’s Word...

We emphasize the gospel (good news) of grace.

We believe the gospel of grace means that anyone can be saved from sin through faith in Jesus Christ. He is the Son of God who died for all our sins and came back to life from the dead. That is the good news, and it comes with a promise. Anyone who believes the good news receives from God the free gift of eternal life. We do not believe this gift is a reward or payment for good behavior, but a gift from God that was paid for on the cross as Jesus died for our sins.

We believe God’s Word can be understood in a normal and straightforward way.

This means when we come to the creation account in Genesis or prophecy in Revelation and other books, we believe and teach those things as they are written. We believe God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh. We believe in a future, 1,000-year reign of Jesus Christ. We believe that Christ has a plan for His church right now, and that He will also keep His promises to Israel in the future."
