Teaching Position
Our theological convictions on specific doctrinal and practical matters that guide our ministry.
While our Statement of Faith expresses our core Christian beliefs, our Teaching Position articulates how we understand and apply Scripture on topics central to our church's life and mission.
The Gospel
We believe the gospel is the good news that God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to live the perfect life we could not live, die the death we deserved to die, and rise victorious over sin and death. Through faith in Christ alone, sinners are justified, adopted, and reconciled to God. The gospel is not just the entry point of the Christian life-it is the power that sustains and shapes us every day.
Baptism and the Lord's Supper
We practice believer's baptism by immersion as a public profession of faith and sign of union with Christ. We celebrate the Lord's Supper regularly as a means of grace, remembering Christ's sacrifice and anticipating His return. We welcome all believers in Christ to the Table.
Marriage and Christian Sexual Ethic
We affirm that marriage is a covenantal union between one man and one woman, designed by God for companionship, procreation, and the display of Christ's relationship with His church. Sexuality is a good gift from God to be expressed within the bounds of marriage and governed by His design. We believe God's Word offers redemption, healing, and transformation for all who have sinned sexually.
Genesis 1:27–28; 2:18–25; Matthew 19:4–6; 1 Corinthians 6:18–20; Ephesians 5:22–33; Hebrews 13:4
"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness."
2 Timothy 3:16, ESVThe Kingdom of God
We believe the kingdom of God has been inaugurated in Christ's first coming and will be consummated at His return. We live in the "already but not yet"-the kingdom is present now through the church, but awaits its final fulfillment. This shapes how we engage culture, pursue justice, and hope in Christ's coming reign.
Church Leadership
We are governed by a plurality of pastors who are called to shepherd, teach, and oversee the congregation. We believe the office of pastor is reserved for qualified men, as taught in Scripture. Deacons serve the practical needs of the church. Every member is called to use their gifts in ministry.
Our Teaching Position is informed by our broader Statement of Faith and is grounded in Scripture. If you have questions about any of these positions, we'd love to talk with you.
