Evangelizing the lost & Equipping disciples to make disciples.
There is one God. Creator of all things, who is infinitely perfect, existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah 45:5, Ephesians 4:6)
Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He was sent by the Father, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died on the cross, the Just for the unjust, as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood. He rose from the dead according to the Scriptures. He is now at the right hand of Majesty on high as our great High Priest. He will come again to establish His kingdom, righteousness and peace. (John 1:1, 14, John 3:16, 1 Corinthians 15:1-3, Hebrews 1:3, Psalm 110:1, Titus 2:13)
The Holy Spirit is a divine person, sent to indwell, guide, teach, gift, empower, and bear His fruit in every believer, He convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. (John 14:26, Acts 1:8, Romans 8:26, 1 Corinthians 6:19, Galatians 5:22-23)
Man and woman were created in the image and likeness of God. Mankind fell through disobedience, and as a result of disobeying God, human beings incurred both a physical and spiritual death. Therefore, everyone is born with a sinful nature, is separated from the life of God, and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Genesis 1:26-27, Jeremiah 17:9, Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23)
Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all people. Those who acknowledge and repent of their sins, and believe in Jesus Christ, (His life, sacrificial death, and literal body resurrection) are justified by grace through faith, born again of the Holy Spirit, delivered from the dominion of darkness, transferred into the Kingdom of God’s Son, granted the gift of eternal life, and adopted as the children of God. (John 3:16, John 10:28, Acts 4:12, Romans 5:8, Romans 10:9-10, Ephesians 2:8-9, Hebrews 10:1-9, 1 John 1:9)
The Church consists of all those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, and are born again by the Holy Spirit. Christ is the Head of His Body, the Church, which has been commissioned by Him to go into all the world making disciples of all peoples. The local church is a body of believers in Christ who are called to love and joined together for the worship of God, edification through the Word of God, prayer, fellowship, proclamation of the gospel through word and deed, and observance of the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. (Matthew 16:18, Acts 2:24, 1 Corinthians 12:27, Hebrews 10:24-25, 1 Peter 2:5)
The Old and New Testaments are inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of His will for our salvation. They constitute the divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice. (Psalm 19:7, John 10:35, John 17:17, 1 Timothy 3:16-17, Hebrews 4:12)
Know: Knowing the truth of who God is. (John 17:3, Hebrews 11:6)
Love: Loving one another and our neighbors with the love of Christ. (John 13:34-35)
Grow: Growing in our relationship with Christ and in community with one another. (2 Peter 3:18, Acts 2:42-47)
Serve: Serving God and our community with our gifts and resources for His glory. (1 Peter 4:10)
Share: Sharing God's word and our stories to reach the community. (Mark 1:15)
Send: Sending out disciples to GO out to be on mission to advance the kingdom of God. (Acts 13:1-3, Matthew 28:19-20)
