We are a FAMILY that loves God, follows Jesus, and shares hope.
We believe that we exist to see our communities and all the world come to know and experience the love of God and the life that Jesus came to make available to us.
We do that by teaching the Word of God and helping people align their lives and relationships to it.
No one is perfect—and we won’t pretend to be—but our hope is that those who are seeking purpose and belonging will find it here as part of our family.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are equal and are one God.
God the Father created all things and rules over them according to His own purpose and grace. He continually sustains, directs, and governs all people and all events for His glory. “Father” describes a spiritual relationship. First, it refers to His relationship within the Trinity. Second, it refers to His relationship with humanity—He is the Creator of all people, but He is the spiritual Father only of those who are saved by His grace and come to Him through Jesus Christ.
Genesis 1:1,26,27,3:22
Psalm 90:2
Matthew 28:19
1 Peter 1:2
2 Corinthians 13:14
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, equal with the Father. He stepped into our world and lived a fully human life without sin. Out of love, He willingly gave Himself as the perfect sacrifice, dying on the cross for the sins of all people. Three days later, He rose from the dead, proving that sin and death had been defeated. He then returned to heaven in glory—and one day, He will come back again to reign as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

1 Timothy 6:14, 15
Titus 2:13
The Holy Spirit is fully God, equal with the Father and the Son. He is at work in the world, gently opening people’s hearts to their need for Jesus. When someone puts their faith in Christ, the Holy Spirit comes to live within them—right from that moment on. He gives believers the power to live for God, helps them understand spiritual truth, and guides them in choosing what is right. He also gives each believer spiritual gifts to use in serving others. As Christians, we daily choose to live under His guidance and direction.

Acts 1:8
1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16
Ephesians 1:13
Galatians 5:25
Ephesians 5:18
The Bible is God’s Word to all men. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Bible is comprised of the sixty-six books of the Old Testament and New Testament. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without any mixture of error.
2 Timothy 3:16
2 Peter 1:20, 21
2 Timothy 1:13
Psalm 119:105, 160, 12:6
Proverbs 30:5
Salvation is a gift from God—something He offers freely, not something we earn. No amount of good behavior or self-improvement can erase our sin. Instead, God invites us to trust Jesus, who offers forgiveness and a restored relationship with Him. When we turn away from living life on our own terms and place our faith in Jesus, we are saved. And that new life with God doesn’t start someday far off—it begins the moment we put our trust in Him.
Romans 5:1
Ephesians 2:8,9
John 14:6, 1:2
Titus 3:5
Galatians 3:26
Because eternal life comes from God through Jesus, it’s something you don’t have to worry about losing. When someone truly puts their trust in Him, that relationship is secure. You don’t have to keep proving yourself or earning it—it’s not held together by your effort. It’s God’s grace and strength that keep you, and that’s what gives real peace.
John 10:29
2 Timothy 1:12
Hebrews 7:25, 10:10, 14
1 Peter 1:3-5
People were made to live forever, and God wants us to be with Him. Because of sin, we can be separated from God—but He offers forgiveness and a way to be close to Him forever. Being with God is what the Bible calls eternal life, and being apart from Him is what it calls hell. Heaven and hell are real, but God’s hope is that everyone chooses life with Him.
John 3:16
Romans 6:23
Revelation 20:15
John 10:28
Matthew 7:21;
1 John 5:11, 12
Matthew 25:31-46
God created people in His own image—He made us to reflect His heart and character. God uniquely and lovingly created each of us to live fully in dependence on Him. But we all choose our own way over God’s at some point, and that’s what the Bible calls sin. Sin, or that tendency to go our own way, is what often leads to the pain we experience in life.
Even though this brokenness separates us from God, He still loves us deeply and wants to help us heal and grow closer to Him.

He gives every believer a spiritual gift when they are saved. As Christians, we seek to live under His control daily.

2 Timothy 1:13
Psalm 119:105, 160, 12:6
Proverbs 30:5
People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God’s creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called “sin.” This attitude separates people from God and causes many problems in life.
Genesis 1:27
Psalm 8:3-6
Isaiah 53:6a, 59:1,2
Romans 3:23
Salvation is God’s free gift to us but we must accept it. We can never make up for sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith, we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.
Romans 5:1
Ephesians 2:8,9
John 14:6, 1:2
Titus 3:5
Galatians 3:26
Because God gives us eternal life through Jesus Christ, the true believer is secure in that salvation for eternity. If you have been genuinely saved, you cannot “lose” it. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian. It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives us this security.
John 10:29
2 Timothy 1:12
Hebrews 7:25, 10:10, 14
1 Peter 1:3-5
People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and hell are real places for eternal existence.
