What We Believe.
We are a multiplication school, not a denomination. Pastors and believers from Pentecostal, Charismatic, Evangelical, Baptist, Anglican, non-denominational, Catholic, Lutheran, Reformed, and Methodist traditions have walked this path with us. Here is what we hold in common with you.
The oldest shared confession of the church.
Held by Christians across 2,000 years and every continent.
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Five simple commitments that shape our school.
Every one of them fits inside the Creed above.
Scripture is God’s Word.
Inspired, trustworthy, and the final authority in matters of faith and practice.
Jesus Christ is Lord.
Fully God, fully man, crucified, risen, returning. The only way to the Father.
The Holy Spirit is active today.
He convicts, regenerates, teaches, gifts, and empowers the Church. In every generation.
The Great Commission is our mandate.
Make disciples. Baptize them. Teach them to obey. Multiply until he returns.
Formation comes before function.
Character before gift. Walking before leading. Discipleship before assignment.
Christians have always disagreed on secondary matters.
We do not make them tests of fellowship.
- Mode or timing of baptism
- Views on end times
- Expression of spiritual gifts
- Forms of church government
- Styles of worship
If you confess the Apostles’ Creed and affirm the five commitments above, you are welcome here.
Four lines that define our edges.
In one sentence
We stand in the great center of historical Christian faith, with room for the Pentecostal breeze and the Evangelical anchor, together.
