The Church - We believe that the church is the body of Christ (Ephesians 1:22–23), composed of all who have been redeemed by His blood and united to Him through faith (1 Corinthians 12:12–13). The local church is God’s primary instrument for worship, discipleship, fellowship, service, and mission (Acts 2:42–47; Hebrews 10:24–25). The ordinances given by Christ—baptism and the Lord’s Supper—are to be observed faithfully as visible signs of the gospel (Matthew 28:19–20; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26).

Pastor Luke continues by anchoring the church in its statement of faith and the truth of Holy Bible—especially Romans 6:23—emphasizing that salvation is a gift of grace and that true Christianity is rooted in a surrendered relationship with God, not religious performance.

1. Salvation

We believe that salvation is a gift of God’s grace (Ephesians 2:8–9), received through personal repentance from sin and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (Mark 1:15; Acts 16:31). In salvation, the believer is justified (Romans 5:1), adopted into God’s family (Galatians 4:4–5), redeemed from the penalty of sin (Ephesians 1:7), and reconciled to God (2 Corinthians 5:18–19). True saving faith will produce a life of obedience, perseverance, and good works (James 2:17; 1 John 2:3–6).

1. The Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity, fully God and co-equal with the Father and the Son (Acts 5:3–4). He convicts the world of sin (John 16:8), regenerates and indwells every believer at conversion (Titus 3:5–6; Romans 8:9), and empowers them for holy living and ministry (Galatians 5:16–25; Acts 1:8). He sovereignly distributes spiritual gifts for the building up of the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:4–7; Ephesians 4:11–13).

1. The Nature of God

We believe in one living and true God (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 45:5–6), the Creator of heaven and earth (Genesis 1:1; Psalm 90:2), who eternally exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14). These three are co-equal in power, glory, and majesty, and share the same divine essence while remaining distinct in personhood.

1. The Scriptures

We believe that the Holy Scriptures, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, are the inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21). They are the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith, conduct, and doctrine (Psalm 19:7–11; Matthew 5:18). The Bible is sufficient for life and godliness and is to be diligently studied, faithfully preached, and joyfully obeyed (Joshua 1:8; James 1:22).

Pastor Cameron discusses the plans for the church, and the necessity for order and systems as we prayerfully position ourselves to receive God's blessings.

Pastor Cameron calls us back to our core purpose, following Jesus with our whole lives and intentionally forming others to do the same.
