As a faith-based nonprofit rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we affirm the following foundational beliefs:
Scripture
We believe the Bible—both Old and New Testaments—is the inspired and inerrant Word of God. It was written by men under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and serves as the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and life.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21)
The Nature of God
We believe in one eternal God, who exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal, sharing the same nature, power, and glory. God is the Creator and Sustainer of all things.
(Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; Colossians 1:16-17)
Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice, and rose bodily from the grave. He now reigns as King and intercedes for believers as our High Priest.
(John 1:1-14; Romans 5:8; Hebrews 4:14-16)
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit indwells all believers, unites us as one Church, convicts the world of sin, and empowers God’s people for holy living and faithful service. He transforms believers into the image of Christ through the process of sanctification.
(John 14:26; Acts 1:8; Romans 8:11)
Humanity and Sin
We believe that all people are created in the image of God with inherent dignity and worth. Through Adam’s disobedience, humanity inherited a sinful nature, resulting in separation from God. Only through Christ can we be reconciled to God.
(Genesis 1:27; Romans 3:23; Ephesians 2:1-5)
Salvation
We believe that salvation is a gift of God's grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ alone. It is not earned by good works. All who repent and place their faith in Christ are born again, sealed by the Holy Spirit, and called to walk in the newness of life.
(Ephesians 2:8-9; John 3:3; Titus 3:5)
The Church
We believe that all believers are part of the universal Church, the body of Christ, and are called to participate in local communities of worship, discipleship, fellowship, and mission. Christ is the Head of the Church, and we are members of one body, united in love and purpose.
(1 Corinthians 12:12-27; Ephesians 4:1-6)
The Great Commission
We believe the Church is called to make disciples of all nations. As a nonprofit, we respond to this call by serving youth and communities with compassion, proclaiming the hope of the Gospel, and walking with people in restoration and growth.
(Matthew 28:18-20; Isaiah 61:1-4)
The Return of Christ
We believe in the personal, bodily return of Jesus Christ. He will judge the living and the dead, bringing justice, redemption, and the full establishment of God’s Kingdom.
(Acts 1:11; Revelation 21:1-5)
Human Identity
We believe that every human being is created by God and bears His image. God created people as male and female, and designed marriage to be a covenant between one man and one woman. We affirm the sacredness of human life from conception to natural death and believe all people are worthy of love, compassion, and dignity.
(Psalm 139:13-16; Genesis 2:24; Mark 10:6-9)
