Statement of faith

  • We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are the perfect Word of God. They are authoritative, sufficient, infallible and without error in the original manuscripts (II Timothy 3:16).

  • We believe there is one God, eternally revealed in three co-equal persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).

  • We believe in the absolute deity of Jesus Christ as the Son of God; His virgin birth, His sinless humanity; His death on the cross paid the penalty God has set for our sins; His resurrection from the grave, and His ascension back into Heaven; He is at the right hand of the God working as our mediator and advocate; He is returning to judge all mankind, the living and the dead, and will set up His promised eternal kingdom (John 1:14).

  • We believe that our nature is corrupted, and that we are all sinners separated from God. (Romans 3:23).

  • We believe that Heaven is a real place and is the eternal destiny for those who have been made right with God through Jesus Christ (John 14:1-3). Hell is a real place created for the devil and his demons. All people who die without Christ will also be sentenced to hell for eternity (Romans 6:23).

  • We believe that salvation is a work of God’s free grace and that it is available to us through faith. It cannot be earned and isn’t based on good works (Ephesians 2:8-9).

  • We believe the way God has chosen to accomplish His purposes is through His Church, the body of Christ, working together in local congregations in every community, but also working as ONE BODY everywhere (I Corinthians 12:12).

  • We believe that Jesus Christ commands that all believers proclaim the Gospel. God’s purpose is to bring glory to Himself by drawing men unto Himself – by the preaching of the Good News. The fulfillment of the Great Commission requires that all worldly and personal ambitions be subordinated to total commitment to “Him who loved us and gave Himself for us” (Matthew 28:19-20).

  • We believe that the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture (Gen. 2:18-25). We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other (1 Cor. 6:18; 7:2-5; Heb. 13:4). We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman.

  • We believe that any form of sexual immorality (including adultery, fornication, sexual gratification engaged in with a person under the age of 18, homosexual behavior, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, or use of pornography) is sinful and offensive to God (Matt. 15:18-20; 1 Cor. 6:9-10).

  • We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ (Acts 3:19-21; Rom. 10:9-10; 1 Cor. 6:9-11).

  • We believe that every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity (Mark 12:28-31; Luke 6:31). Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual are to be repudiated and are not in accord with Scripture nor the doctrines of Collision.

  • We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as either male or female. These two distinct, complementary sexes together reflect the image and nature of God (Gen. 1:26-27). Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person.
