We believe in the Holy Trinity: God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

(Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 John 5:7–8)

(1 Corinthians 15:1–8; John 1; Colossians 1:15–20)

We believe the Holy Spirit comforts and counsels those who obey the Lord, produces gifts and fruit in every believer, and that God the Father and Jesus Christ empower and indwell believers.

(John 14; Acts 2:38; Acts 4:31; Acts 5:32; Romans 12; 1 Corinthians 12; Galatians 5)

We believe the Bible is the inspired, God-breathed Word of God and is a light for our path.
