What We Believe
Created by God, For God
We believe that every student — every soul — is created by God and for God. The One who formed us on purpose and for a purpose longs for more than religious belief; He desires eternal, covenantal relationship with us.
Genesis 1:1 · Genesis 1:27 · Jeremiah 1:5 · Acts 17:8 · Colossians 1:16 · Revelation 21:7
God Became One of Us
God extended this invitation by becoming a man — Jesus Christ. He lived a sinless life, died a death He didn’t deserve, was buried for three days, and conquered death by rising again. He later ascended into Heaven and poured out His Spirit, just as He promised. This is the gospel — good news with eternal impact.
Isaiah 9:6 · Isaiah 43:11 · John 1:1; 14 · John 10:58 · John 14:18 · Acts 1:1-8
Our Response
We begin to respond to this invitation by putting our faith in Jesus Christ, turning away from sin, and surrendering to God’s will. This is called repentance — not just feeling sorry, but choosing a new way. It’s the first step in walking with Jesus.
Acts 3:19 · Luke 9:23 · Luke 15:7-10 · Acts 2:38 · Romans 12:1–2
Buried with Christ in Baptism
Just as Jesus was buried and raised to life, we are buried with Him in water baptism, calling upon His name. When we call on the name of Jesus, our sins are washed away, and we rise, having put to death the old lifestyle.
Acts 2:38 · Acts 4:12 · Acts 22:16 · Romans 6:3–4 · Galatians 3:27 · 1 Peter 3:21
Filled with His Spirit
While we commit to leaving a life of sin behind, our nature still wrestles with the desire to return to former lusts. That’s why Jesus poured out His Spirit — to fill us with power and transform us from the inside out. When His Spirit comes, it changes our nature, and the first evidence is supernatural: we speak in a language we’ve never learned, just as they did in Scripture. It reveals that the most untamable part of our nature is submitted to the power of Jesus Christ.
Mark 16:17 · Acts 1:8 · Acts 2:4 · Acts 10:44–46 · Romans 8:11 · James 3:8
Born Again — Made New
When we repent, are baptized in Jesus’ name, and are filled with His Spirit, we are “born again” — just as Jesus described in John 3. We are made new. And now, as new creations, we wait for our Savior to return, knowing that His desire has always been to walk with us forever.
John 3:3–5 · 2 Corinthians 5:17 · Titus 3:5
This Message Is For Everyone
We’ve been changed by the love of Jesus — and we can’t keep it to ourselves. We make it our mission to share this invitation with as many people as we can, so all may come to know the life-giving power of Jesus Christ.
Matthew 28:19 · Mark 16:15–17 · Acts 1:8
