What we believe
The truths we stand on, from God’s Word.
The Bible is inspired by God, true in all it says, His final word to us, and the standard for how we believe and live.
2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:19–21
The Holy Spirit is fully God. He convicts the world of sin, gives new birth, and seals, guides and sanctifies every believer.
John 3:5–6; 16:8–11; Ephesians 1:13–14
God created humanity good, but we chose sin. Every person is now a sinner, rightly under God’s judgment and unable to save ourselves.
Genesis 3:1–6; Romans 3:10–19; 5:12
Jesus died in our place. His death paid the full wage for sin and satisfied God’s justice, so He is a perfect, all-sufficient, willing Savior.
Isaiah 53:4–7; Romans 3:24–25; Galatians 1:4
Salvation is offered freely to everyone through the gospel. Nothing keeps anyone from it except their own refusal to come.
Isaiah 55:1; Matthew 11:28; John 3:16–18; Revelation 22:17
Coming to Christ means turning from sin with a sorrowful heart and trusting Jesus as Savior and Lord, by the work of the Holy Spirit.
Mark 1:15; Acts 20:21; Romans 10:9–13
A local church is a body of baptized believers joined by covenant, observing baptism and the Lord’s Supper, led by pastors, and given the mission of making, building up and teaching disciples.
Matthew 28:19–20; Acts 2:41–42; 1 Timothy 3:1–13
Jesus rose bodily from the grave and ascended to heaven. He will return visibly and personally, raise His people, and reign in righteousness.
1 Corinthians 15:4; Acts 1:9–11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16
Every believer and every church is commanded to take the gospel to all nations. This is the heart of Tent & Table.
Matthew 28:18–20; Mark 16:15; Acts 1:8
Giving flows from grace, not law. The tithe is a biblical pattern for believers, brought to the local church.
2 Corinthians 8:7; 1 Corinthians 16:2; Malachi 3:10
Every human life is sacred from conception, because every person bears the image of God and is worthy of protection and care.
Genesis 1:26; Psalm 139:13–16; Jeremiah 1:5
