Our Message

Our Beliefs

God: We believe in one God revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1; John 3:16-17; Matt. 1:20-25)

Scriptures: The Old and New Testaments, with 66 books inspired by God, contain all truth needed for salvation, faith, and Christian living. (Luke 24:44-47; 1 Cor. 15:3-4; 2 Tim. 3:15-17)

Sin: Sin entered through humanity’s original disobedience and exists as both original and personal sin. (Gen. 3:6:5; Ps. 51:5; 1 John 1:9; 1 John 3:4)

Repentance: Repentance is a sincere and thorough change of mind regarding sin, which includes an active sense of personal guilt and a voluntary, total turning away from that sin toward God’s mercy. (Ezekiel 33:14-16; Isaiah 55:6-7; Acts 3:19)

Salvation: Jesus Christ’s sacrifice offers complete atonement and salvation for those who trust in Him. (Rom. 3:21-26; Acts 4:11-12; John 14:6)

Sanctification: Sanctification is understood as the lifelong, ongoing process of being transformed by the Holy Spirit to become more like Jesus Christ in daily life.

The Three Stages of Sanctification

1. Positional (Past) Sanctification

The moment a person puts their faith in Jesus, they are instantly “set apart” (the literal root meaning of sanctify) by God. In God’s eyes, their identity shifts permanently from “sinner” to “saint” because they are clothed in Christ’s righteousness. It is a completed, past-tense work.  (1 Corinthians 6:11; Hebrews 10:10)

2. Progressive (Present) Sanctification

This is the daily focus of non-denominational preaching. While a believer is already “holy” in their position before God, their actual behavior and thoughts are still catching up. This stage is a continuous, lifelong partnership where the believer uses spiritual disciplines (like reading scripture and prayer) to cooperate with the Holy Spirit to conquer the power of sin. Non-denominational churches typically teach that full perfection is impossible in this life, meaning the battle with our old sin nature continues until death. (Philippians 2:12-13; 2 Corinthians 3:18; 1 Thessalonians 4:3)

3. Ultimate (Future) Sanctification / Glorification

This final stage occurs when a believer dies or Christ returns. Only then is the presence and possibility of sin completely eliminated, and the believer is made entirely perfect in a new resurrection body.

Baptism: Water baptism symbolizes a believer’s faith and identification with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. (Eph. 4:4-6; Rom. 6:1-4)

The Lord’s Supper: This sacrament, established by Jesus Christ, serves as a reminder of His sacrifice. Believers use this observance to reflect on His death and to join together in fellowship with Him and with each other. (Matt. 26:26-28, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26)
