our beliefs
The enduring strength of any church rests upon its firmly held beliefs. Rooted in Scripture, these convictions shape the church’s worship, governance, and mission. They provide continuity across generations, preserve the church’s distinct identity, and foster unity among its members. By holding steadfast to these truths, the church maintains both its spiritual integrity and its witness within the community.
