Statement of Faith
1) Word of God
We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible, and immutable Word of the Father—completely trustworthy, unchanging in truth, and eternal in purpose.
It was written by the Holy Spirit through human hands—ordinary men carried by divine breath—so that every word would reveal the Father’s heart and the story of His redemption.
The Word doesn’t just inform us; it transforms us. It is alive and active, teaching sons and daughters who they are, whose they are, and how to walk in His ways. The Bible is not just a record of what the Father once said, but a living invitation into what He is still saying.

2) The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
We believe in the one true God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—three in person, yet one in essence, perfectly united in love, will, and purpose.
From the beginning, the Father’s heart has always been relational. The Son reveals who the Father is, and the Holy Spirit makes His presence known within us. They are not distant from one another or from us—their love is the model and the measure of all family.
The Father invites us into His fellowship, through the Son, by the Spirit—so that we live not as spectators of divinity, but as participants in divine family.

3) The Father’s Heart
We believe the Father’s heart is the home every soul was made for. He is good, holy, just, and kind—slow to anger and rich in steadfast love. From the beginning, His desire has never changed: to dwell with His children and make His presence their resting place.
Every wound in the world traces back to this one truth: we were made for the Father, yet we’ve lived apart from Him. Humanity’s deepest ache is spiritual fatherlessness—the loss of belonging, identity, and security that can only be restored through relationship with Him. Without the Father, even the strongest hearts live searching for home.
The Father’s love is not distant or passive. It reaches into the broken places and calls His children by name. Through Jesus, He reveals His true nature—merciful, faithful, and near. His correction is never rejection; His discipline flows from delight. He restores what was lost, redefines what was orphaned, and reclaims every story for love.
To know the Father is to know who we are and find safety there. In His presence we find identity, belonging, and purpose. Every encounter with Him heals what fatherlessness stole and anchors us in the truth that we are not forgotten—we are family.

4) Jesus the King
We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of the Father—fully God and fully man—the perfect revelation of the Father’s heart. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, lived without sin, died in our place, rose in power, ascended in glory, and will one day return as King.
Jesus didn’t come only to rescue us, but to restore us—to bring sons and daughters back home to the Father. In His eyes we see who the Father really is: merciful, holy, and near. In His life we see what love looks like in motion. In His death we see the price of redemption. In His resurrection we see the power of new creation.
He is the King who stoops low to wash feet. The Word who became flesh and made His dwelling among us. The Savior who calls us friend. All of heaven and earth find their meaning in Him—and through Him, we are made whole.

5) Humanity & the Need for Salvation
We believe man and woman were created in the image of the Father, as written in Genesis—designed for relationship, belonging, and purpose. Yet through sin, humanity became disconnected from His presence, losing the connection we were made to carry.
From the moment we are born, sin attaches itself to us. It isn’t something we can escape or outgrow—it’s the condition of a world that stepped outside the Father’s covering. The law defines what sin truly is: anything that goes against the Word of God—whether in thought, action, or desire.
Sin is not just the breaking of commandments; it’s the breaking of communion. It separates us from the Father’s flow of life, leaving us spiritually orphaned—longing for belonging, yet unable to return on our own.
But the Father’s heart never changed. Even in our rebellion, His plan of redemption was already in place and unfolding. His love would not rest until His children were home again.

6) Salvation by Grace Through Faith
We believe salvation is the Father’s invitation back home. What sin severed, the Father restores and fully redeems. When humanity was lost, the Father already had a plan to bring Jesus—the Son—to make a way Himself.
Jesus, the Word made flesh, was present at creation and knew the story from beginning to end. At the appointed time, He came as the perfect, spotless Lamb—without sin and without flaw—to take our place. Through the cross, Jesus carried our sin, absorbed our shame, and traded our brokenness for His righteousness. His perfect blood removed every barrier between the Father and His children, restoring the communion that sin had destroyed.
When we believe, our spirit is instantly made alive—a new creation in Christ. Yet our soul and body still live in a world touched by sin. This is where the beautiful process of sanctification begins: the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit shaping us into the likeness of Jesus. Our spirits are made new now, and one day our bodies will be made like His in glory.
Salvation is not something we can earn; it is the free gift of grace—given by the Father and received through faith in Jesus Christ. It’s our choice to receive what He has already provided—to lay down our life, our own understanding, and everything we once trusted, allowing the Father to teach us His way.
Salvation begins at the cross but continues in communion. It’s not just rescue—it’s relationship restored.
As a sign of this covenant, we practice water baptism—an outward declaration of the inward transformation that takes place when we are united with Jesus in His death and resurrection.
We also share in communion, the Lord’s Supper, as a continual remembrance of His sacrifice and a celebration of our restored relationship with the Father. These practices are not rituals but encounters—tangible reminders of grace and belonging.

7) The Holy Spirit & the Spirit-Filled Life
We believe the Holy Spirit is the living presence of the Father within His children—the same Spirit that hovered over creation, filled Jesus without measure, and now empowers believers to carry His heart into the world.
At salvation, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell within us, marking us as sons and daughters and testifying that we belong to the Father. He comforts, convicts, teaches, and guides us into all truth, transforming us from the inside out.
