What we believe
We're non-denominational, which confuses some people. It doesn't mean "we believe whatever." It means we sit under the authority of the Bible, not a specific denomination's governing structure. Here's what we actually hold to.
The 8 pillars
Scroll for the full statement on each — or skim the icons first.
The 66 books of Scripture are God-inspired, trustworthy, and the final word on faith and life.
One God, eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus is fully God and fully human. He lived, died, rose from the dead, and is coming back.
The Holy Spirit is God — present, active, and working in everyone who follows Jesus.
People are made in God's image, deeply loved, and deeply broken.
Saved by grace, through faith, because of Jesus — not because of anything we did.
Every follower of Jesus is part of a global family called the Church — and local church is where we live that out.
Jesus is coming back, death will end, and God will put everything right.
The 66 books of Scripture are God-inspired, trustworthy, and the final word on faith and life.
We believe the Bible is God's Word — inspired by the Holy Spirit, historically reliable, and sufficient for what it claims to address. It is not a magic book, a self-help manual, or an ancient rulebook; it is the true story of God rescuing humanity, told across 66 books by 40+ authors over 1,500 years with stunning coherence.
One God, eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in one God who has always existed in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each person is fully God, and together they are one. We did not invent the Trinity; we discovered it by reading the Bible honestly.
Jesus is fully God and fully human. He lived, died, rose from the dead, and is coming back.
We believe Jesus of Nazareth is God in the flesh. He lived a perfect life, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, died for our sins, was buried, and rose from the dead on the third day. He ascended to the Father, is currently seated on the throne of the universe, and is returning. Christianity stands or falls on whether this actually happened. We think it did.
The Holy Spirit is God — present, active, and working in everyone who follows Jesus.
We believe the Holy Spirit is fully God and actively at work in the world today. He indwells every Christian, convicts us of sin, gives us wisdom, comforts us, and equips us with gifts for the good of the church and the world. He is not a feeling, a force, or a metaphor — he is a person.
People are made in God's image, deeply loved, and deeply broken.
We believe every human being — every single one — is made in the image of God. That gives every person inherent, unshakable dignity. We also believe every human is broken by sin, which is why the world looks the way it does and why we all know something is off even when we can't name it.
Saved by grace, through faith, because of Jesus — not because of anything we did.
We believe salvation is a gift. It cannot be earned, purchased, or performed into existence. When a person trusts Jesus — his life, death, and resurrection — they are forgiven, made right with God, and adopted into God's family permanently. Good works follow salvation like fruit follows a healthy tree, but they never cause it.
Every follower of Jesus is part of a global family called the Church — and local church is where we live that out.
We believe the Church is not a building or a denomination. It is every person, in every place, who trusts Jesus. Local churches like ours exist to gather, worship, disciple each other, serve our city, and point people to Jesus. Every Christian belongs in a local church — no exceptions, no loopholes, no online-only plans.
Jesus is coming back, death will end, and God will put everything right.
We believe Jesus is returning — personally, visibly, and finally. When he does, the dead will rise, evil will be judged, and all things will be made new. Heaven is not a retirement plan in the sky; it is God dwelling with his people on a renewed earth, where every tear is wiped away. Until then, we wait with hope and work with purpose.
A non-denominational church is not affiliated with a specific denomination like Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, or Catholic. Each local non-denominational church is self-governing and sets its own practices within broadly agreed-upon biblical teaching.
In practice, that means we don't answer to a regional board or bishop. We answer to a team of pastors and elders called by this local body, under the authority of Scripture. This can be freeing — and it can also be disorienting if you've never experienced it. We've written a longer piece on it.
Reading a beliefs statement is one thing. Sitting in a service is another. Come join us this Sunday — in person or online.
