At Renaissance Community Church we exist to love God completely, love other compassionately, and grow in grace as we serve the kingdom of God.
Through Jesus Christ, we strive to create an environment where lives are transformed, empowered, and gifted by the Holy Spirit to bring excellence to the kingdom.
We seek to ignite spiritual passion in our community, enabling children, students, and adults to live their full potential through the power of Christ.
Our vision is to be a healthy and reproducing church that develops the whole person to experience practical, authentic relationships in all areas of life.

We believe the Bible is God’s unique revelation to people. It is the inspired, infallible Word of God, and the supreme and final authority on all matters upon which it teaches. 2 Timothy 3:16,17
We believe there is only one God, creator of heaven and earth, who exists eternally as three persons—Father, Son and Holy Spirit, each fully God and yet personally distinct from each other. 2 Corinthians 13:14
We believe all people are created in God’s image and matter deeply to Him. Central to the message of the Bible is that God loves people, and invites them to live in communion with Himself and in community with each other. Romans 5:12
We believe apart from Jesus Christ, all people are spiritually lost and, because of sin deserve the judgment of God. However, God gives salvation and eternal life to everyone who trusts in Jesus Christ and in His sacrifice on his or her behalf. Salvation cannot be earned through personal goodness or human effort. It is a gift that must be received by humble repentance and faith in Christ and His finished work on the cross. John 3:16; Romans 5:8
We believe Jesus Christ, second Person of the Trinity, was born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless human life, willingly took upon Himself all of our sins, died and rose again bodily, and is at the right hand of the Father as our advocate and mediator. Matthew 1:18-25; Colossians 2:9
We believe the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, convicts the world of sin and draws people to Christ. He also indwells all believers. He is also available to empower the to lead Christ-like lives, and gives them spiritual gifts with which to serve the church and reach out to a lost and needy world. Acts 2-4; Ephesians 4:30-32; 1 Corinthians 12:1-11
We believe in the second coming of Christ for the living and the dead. At the final judgment, unbelievers will be separated from God into condemnation. Believers will be received into God’s loving presence and rewarded for their faithfulness to Him in this life with the gift of eternal life. 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18; Revelations 20:11-15
We believe all believers are members of the body of Christ, the one true church universal. Spiritual unity is to be expressed among Christians by acceptance and love of one another across ethnic, cultural, socioeconomic, national, generational, gender, and denominational lines. Acts 16:15; Hebrews 10:25
We believe the local church is a congregation of believers who gather for worship, prayer, instruction, encouragement, mutual accountability, and community with each other. Through it, believers invest time, energy, and resources to fulfill the Great Commission. Acts 2:40-47
We believe baptism by immersion is an outward work. We believe in the commemoration of the Lord’s Supper by symbolic use of bread and juice of the vine. Matthew 28:19; 1 Corinthians 11:24,25
