# Tenets of Faith

### Our Beliefs

## Foundation of Our Faith

These core tenets define our doctrine, guide our worship, and shape our walk with God as a faith community grounded in biblical truth.

### The Holy Scriptures

We believe that the Holy Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired and infallible Word of God. It is the supreme authority in all matters of faith, doctrine, and Christian living.

### The One True God

We believe in one eternal God, the Creator of heaven and earth, who exists in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit—coequal, coeternal, and indivisible.

### The Lord Jesus Christ

We believe in the virgin birth, sinless life, sacrificial death, bodily resurrection, and glorious ascension of Jesus Christ, who is fully God and fully man, and the only Savior of humanity.

### Salvation by Grace

We believe that salvation is the free gift of God, received through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, not by works, but by grace, resulting in regeneration and new life through the Holy Spirit.

### The Holy Spirit

We believe in the present-day ministry of the Holy Spirit, who convicts, regenerates, sanctifies, empowers believers for godly living, spiritual growth, and effective service.

### The Church & Christian Hope

We believe in the universal Church, the body of Christ, and in the blessed hope of Christ’s return, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal life for believers in the presence of God.
