Our Mission
The vision of Genesis Church is to be a church committed to “Helping People Find Their New Beginning”, whether that new beginning comes in the form of salvation, purpose in life, a fresh start in marriage, or a new journey of spiritual growth. This vision is accomplished through our BIG idea mission.
At Genesis Church, our mission is focused on three things…
Building Strong Families
Our church is more than just a place of worship; it’s a sanctuary and training ground where we come together to support, uplift, and fortify our families.
B
Impacting Our Neighbors
We are not just an isolated congregation but a community that cares deeply for our neighbors, both near and far.
I
Growing Spiritually Together
Our spiritual journey is an ongoing process, and we believe no Christian is made to be an island so it is critical that we continue growing together as a church family.

Our Core Beliefs
About The Bible
We believe the Bible is inspired by God and that His Spirit directed men to write His words, therefore, we believe that it contains no errors. (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Thessalonians 2:134; 2 Peter 1:21)
About God
We believe the Bible is inspired by God and that His Spirit directed men to write His words, therefore, we believe that it contains no errors. (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Thessalonians 2:134; 2 Peter 1:21)
About Jesus
We believe that Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary, that he is both God and man, that he never sinned, and that he performed miracles. Jesus died, was buried, and rose from the dead so that sins can be forgiven. Jesus is now with the Father in heaven but will some day return to earth in power and glory. (John 1:1; Philippians 2:5-6; Luke 1:26-38; Hebrews 7:26; Acts 2:22; 1 Corinthians 15:3; Matthew 28:6; Acts 1:9-11)
About The Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every Christian and that He provides the power for living a life that pleases God. The Holy Spirit guides the believer to what is true and strengthens him to resist what is not from God. The Holy Spirit gives every believer spiritual gifts for the building up of the church. We are filled by the Holy Spirit when we yield to God’s authority in our life and ask Him to fill us. (Romans 12:1-2; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 13:12; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4, 8; 1 Corinthians 12:1-13; Ephesians 5:18)
About Mankind
We believe that all people are created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him, but became alienated in that relationship through sin rebelling against God’s will. Therefore a person is incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through his or her own effort alone. (Genesis 1:27; Romans 3:23; Galatians 3:22; Ephesians 2:8-9)
About Salvation
We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sin. Therefore, only those who place their faith in Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross will be saved. When a person believes in Jesus, God – the Holy Spirit, gives that person a brand new life – he or she is born anew. (Luke 24:47; John 3:3; Romans 10:13-15; Ephesians 2:8; Galatians 4:6)
About The Christian Life
We believe that all Christians should live for Christ and not for themselves. By obeying God’s commands as found in the Bible and by yielding daily to the Spirit of God, every believer should mature and be conformed to the likeness of Jesus Christ. (Philippians 1:20-26; John 14:23-24; Romans 12:1-3)
About Eternity
We believe that those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ will live eternally with God (in heaven), and those who have not placed their faith in Jesus will live eternally without God (in hell). (Matthew 25:46; Mark 9:43-48; Revelation 19:20; 20:1-15; 21:8)
About The Church
We believe that the church is the body of Christ of which Jesus Christ is the head. The members of the Church are those who have placed their faith in Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving Him and by making Him known to the lost world. (Ephesians 1:22-23; Colossians 1:18; Matthew 28:18-20)
