While the word Trinity does not itself appear in Scripture, we affirm that there is one God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, existing eternally together. We wholeheartedly affirm that God is our faithful Parent, sovereign over all creation. God was delighted to welcome us as adopted sons and daughters. We wholeheartedly affirm that God is the Son, the eternal Word of God by whom, for whom, and to whom all things were created Jesus Christ, the only name in Heaven or earth by which we must be saved. We wholeheartedly affirm that God is Holy Spirit, the Lord, and giver of life. Holy Spirit is God, worthy of worship. It is only by the Spirit of God that we receive the benefits of salvation in Christ and are united with him.

Jesus is the Son of God, who eternally exists with the Father and the Holy Spirit. He was sent by God into the world so that we might be saved through him and receive eternal life. The Scriptures testify to us that Jesus Christ is both fully God and fully man. This is good news for us! Jesus was able to endure the eternal punishment for sin, not just for one, but for all the world. He overcame the power of death, being resurrected by the Holy Spirit as the firstborn of God's new creation. He was crucified for our sins and raised to life again for our justification, fulfilling not only God's promise of the messianic king but the promises of the redemption that God would bring to his people.

The Bible is the fully inspired revelation of God's will to God’s people throughout the ages, for God’s glory and our salvation. The Spirit of God has acted through the writers of Scripture so that their words, spoken in particular historical circumstances, should fully and unequivocally also be understood to be the words of God. The Scriptures offer us a reliable and true testimony of Christ being himself, the very revelation of God for our spiritual training in God's grace, and for equipping us for every good work in Christ.

We affirm the Bible's teaching that man and woman are created in God's image, with inherent dignity and purpose, and as such, we are dependent upon God, the Creator, for everything, including our very breath. Humanity was originally designed to reflect the character and attributes of God as we related to each other and carried out the task of governing the earth. Essentially, God created and called humanity to rule the earth in such a way that displays God’s character and glory throughout creation.

Though God created male and female in his image, and created humans very good, we have all sinned and betrayed our good and gracious Creator. Sin is idolatrous by nature and affects all of our being. Sin is personal, corporate, and supernatural, impacting the self, the systems around us, and the supernatural world. While we are not as wicked as we could be, sin makes us powerless to help ourselves, and sin’s consequence is eternal punishment.

We were dead in our sins, but made alive in Christ Jesus by the power of the Spirit, to the glory of God. Salvation is entirely an act of God. Even the faith by which we receive such a gift is granted to us by God. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin and moves people to repentance and faith in Christ. Therefore, our old sinful nature no longer enslaves us and the Spirit gives us a new nature through God’s regenerative work by uniting us to Jesus. Our conversion and unhindered relationship with God is solely a result of the gracious work of the sovereign Triune God: the Holy Spirit who binds us to Christ, Christ who reconciles us to the Father, and God who delights to save us.

In the Scriptures, God promises to restore us and make us ready for the eternal new creation kingdom, in both body and soul. Our resurrection to life is possible because Christ was raised, and we are united to him, and it is the very goal to which we strive. When Jesus visibly and bodily returns, the dead will be raised and the righteous will receive eternal life and the wicked will be cast into eternal punishment. The devil and the forces of evil will be totally defeated and Jesus will fully establish his kingdom with power and glory on earth just as it is in Heaven.

The Church is the people of God throughout all times and ages who follow Jesus Christ. The Church consists of all people for whom Christ died and redeemed through his own blood. Christ is head of the Church, his body, over which he rules. The purpose of the visible church in the world is to proclaim the gospel, guide in worship and fellowship, and administer the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's supper.

God is perfectly just and calls the people of God to reflect godly justice in the world. Throughout Scripture, from the Law given to Moses to the prophets' calls for righteousness to Christ's own ministry, we see that true justice flows from God's character and commands. We believe that pursuing justice—defending the vulnerable, caring for the poor and oppressed, speaking truth, and working for righteousness in our communities—is not separate from the Gospel but is a vital expression of Christ's love and lordship. As followers of Jesus, we are called to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God, seeking His kingdom and righteousness in every sphere of life. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we work toward justice not merely as a social ideal, but as an act of worship and obedience to the God who executes justice for the oppressed and calls us to do likewise.

We believe the Bible celebrates and affirms the gifts of both men and women in ministry. While some passages in Scripture appear to limit women’s leadership, we understand those as being tied to specific cultural and situational contexts in the early church. For example, in 1 Corinthians and 1 Timothy, we see Paul addressing unique circumstances within particular congregations—not setting a universal standard for all times and places. Our conviction is that the broader tone of Scripture is one of unity, mutual submission, and the use of all God-given gifts—regardless of gender—to serve the church.
