Matthew 28:19; Ephesians 4:4-6
We believe
that Jesus Christ, though fully God, came to earth as a man. Through His sinless life, His atoning death, and his bodily resurrection, He offers us salvation, new life, and a place in the family of God.
John 1:1-4, John 1:12; Philippians 2:5-11, Hebrews 1:1-4, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
We believe
the Bible is inspired by God and is authoritative in the life of every follower of Christ.

Galatians 5:16-18; Romans 8:9
We believe
that salvation is a gift of grace, received through faith in Christ and expressed through good works performed in His name.
Acts 2:38; Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 3:4-6
