Our Beliefs

There are five fundamentals of faith which are essential for Christianity, and upon which we agree:

1. The Deity of our Lord Christ (John 1:1; John 20:28; Hebrews 1:8-9)

2. The Virgin Birth (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:27)

3. The Blood Atonement (Acts 20-28; Romans 3:25, 5:9; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 9:12-14)

4. The Bodily Resurrection (Luke 24:36-46; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; 15:14-15)

5. The Inerrancy of the Scriptures themselves (Psalms 12:6-7; Romans 15:4; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20)

Our Community

We are a diverse family of believers, united by faith and open hearts. No matter your background, story, or stage in life, you are welcome here. At our core, we strive to create a place where everyone feels seen, valued, and embraced—a true home where the love of Christ is shared freely and community thrives.
