Base Church isn't built off of the talents of a few, but off of the sacrifices of many. Alongside each of our staff are incredible teams of volunteers that pour into the mission of what God is doing at Base. We are so thankful for everyone that serves at Base and invite you to be a part of it too.

Base Church's Statement of Faith

The Apostles' Creed

We believe the Bible is God's infallible, authoritative, living Word, the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living.

We believe in one God, who is expressed in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe people are the supreme object of God’s creation, made in his image, to be like him in character.

We believe God's free gift of salvation, which includes forgiveness and reconciliation with him, is available to everyone.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, as both fully God and fully man, is the only one who can reconcile people to God.
