Question 1

ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT

Answer

The third person of God is the Holy Spirit. We believe the Holy Spirit dwells in every Christ-follower. His indwelling presence gives spiritual life to believers and distinguishes them as children of God. The Holy Spirit guides Christ-followers in understanding and applying God’s principles and values. Through the work of the Holy Spirit, Christ-followers are empowered to live Christ-like lives. The Holy Spirit also equips Christ-followers with talents and abilities for the purpose of building up God’s kingdom.

(Titus 3:6; 2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7–13; 14:16, 17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians; Ephesians 5:1)

Question 2

ABOUT THE BIBLE

Answer

God divinely inspired human authors to write the sixty-six books of the Bible. He communicated through these writers the values, principles, and ideals that please Him and are in our best interests. We believe the Bible is entirely accurate, complete, and reliable. We look to the Bible for the revelation of the character of God and the final authority on all matters of faith and conduct.

(2 Timothy 3:16, 17; Joshua 1:8, 9; 2 Peter 1:20, 21; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:105, 160; 12:6; Proverbs 30:5)

Our stance on Apocryphal Books and Print Types (e.g., NIV, ESV, CSB, etc.):
There is a growing interest among younger people in texts like Enoch and other literature, which has sparked debates about which print edition is “right.” – Ian

Question 3

ABOUT HUMANITY

Answer

We believe that male and female—the only genders—are part of God’s creation, equal in dignity, value, and worth. All people were created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him but became alienated through sinful disobedience. As a result, people are incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through their own efforts.

(Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3–6; Isaiah 53:6; Romans 3:23; 3:10–12; Isaiah 59:1–2)

Question 4

ABOUT THE CHURCH

Answer

We believe in the local church as part of the universal Body of Christ. It is to be a witness in its local community and extend to the whole world. The local church provides an avenue for the proper use of spiritual gifts and the observance of the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper.

(Matthew 28:19–20; 1 Corinthians 12–14; 1 Corinthians 11:27–29; Ephesians 4:11–16)

Question 5

ABOUT SALVATION

Answer

Salvation is a gift from God to man. Man can never make up for his sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can man be saved from sin’s penalty. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his or her life by faith.

(Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8–9; John 1:12 & 14:6; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1)

Question 6

ABOUT ETERNITY

Answer

Man was created to exist forever. He will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is to spend eternity in Hell; to be eternally united with Him is to have eternal life in Heaven. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.

(John 3:16; 1 John 2:25 & 5:11–13; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15)

Question 7

ABOUT BAPTISM AND COMMUNION

Answer

The Word of God mandates two ordinances for the church:

Believer’s Baptism: Symbolizes the individual’s identification with Jesus in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The Lord’s Supper: A remembrance of His death until His return.

Both are for believers only.
(1 Corinthians 11:17–34; Matthew 3:6; Acts 8:26–40)

Question 8

ABOUT SEXUALITY AND MARRIAGE

Answer

We believe that God has commanded that no sexual activity take place outside of a Scriptural marriage.

(Genesis 2:24; Genesis 19:5–13; Genesis 26:8–9; Leviticus 18:1–30; Romans 1:26–29; 1 Corinthians 5:1; 6:9; 1 Thessalonians 4:1–8; Hebrews 13:4)

We further believe that the only Scriptural marriage is the joining of one man and one woman.

(Genesis 2:24; Romans 7:2; 1 Corinthians 7:10; Ephesians 5:22–23)

Question 9

ABOUT LEADERSHIP

Answer

We believe men and women are equally created in God’s image and are called to serve His Church using their unique gifts.

(Genesis 1:27; Galatians 3:28)

Leadership roles are guided by Scripture, with character and gender qualifications for pastors/elders outlined in 1 Timothy 3:1–7 and Titus 1:5–9. Both men and women contribute significantly to the Church’s mission.

(Romans 12:4–8; 1 Corinthians 12:4–31)

We believe that God gives different gifts to His people—as noted in Romans 12:6–7—and that sometimes those gifts are in teaching or leadership, even for those who aren’t pastors. All teachings are guided by the senior pastor and elders to ensure alignment with Scripture and sound doctrine. We believe God calls both men and women to serve and minister within the church, under the authority of the lead pastor and elders.
(1 Timothy 3:8–13; Romans 16:1–2)

We celebrate examples of faithful female leadership, such as Priscilla (Acts 18:26) and Deborah (Judges 4:4–5), and affirm that the Church thrives when all believers serve in unity and humility.
