Doctrine
What we believe

We believe in biblical doctrines, for example the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Primary doctrines are defined clearly by scripture, and we adhere to them. Secondary doctrines are less clear and can be influenced by preferences or styles. We do not take a position on issues not clearly defined by scripture. Below is a brief acrostic that loosely summarizes our beliefs and practices. If you have a specific question, contact us!

 

Christ centered: "So that He himself will come to have first place in everything"

Holy Spirit led: "For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God"

Unified believers: "Standing firm in one spirit with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel."

Relationally based: "Increase and abound for love in one another and for all people just as we also do for you."

Culturally relevant: "I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some."

Honoring God: "Shine before men so that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father in heaven."
