We believe the Bible and only the Bible to be the verbally inspired Word of God and the Christian's supreme authority in all matters of faith and practice. We believe the Holy Spirit superintended human authors so that, through individual personalities and literary styles, they composed and recorded the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments as God’s complete, inerrant, and infallible Word. (Psalm 119:97-104; Matthew 5:18; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Peter 1:25; 2 Peter 1:19-21)

We believe in one Triune God, Creator, sustainer, and sovereign ruler of all things. He is self-existent, infinitely perfect, and eternally exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. While the members possess individual, personal attributes, the Trinity is without division of nature, essence, or being. (Genesis 1:1, Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; Mark 12:29; John 1:1-4, 4:24, 10:30; II Corinthians 13:14; I John 4:13)

God the Father - We believe in God the Father: an infinite, personal Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, and love. He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of humanity, hears and answers prayer, and saves and adopts as His own all who come to Him through Jesus Christ. (Psalm 90:2; Psalm 100:5; John 1:18; John 6:46; Romans 11:33-36)

God the Son - We believe in the total deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God. We believe He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. We believe Him to be fully God and fully Man. We also believe in His sinless life, His substitutionary death on the cross, His bodily resurrection from the dead, His ascension into heaven, His priestly intercession on behalf of His people, and His personal, visible return from heaven to rule and reign as King. (Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 24:6 & 7; John 1:1, 14,18; John 14:8-9; 1 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 1:3; Hebrews 4:14-15; Hebrews 7:25; 1 John 4:10; Revelation 19:11-16)

God the Holy Spirit - We believe in the total deity of the Holy Spirit and that His ministry is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ. In this age, the Holy Spirit draws humanity unto God and convicts the world of sin, of God’s righteousness and of coming judgment. The Holy Spirit indwells, seals, guides, instructs, and empowers the believer for godly living and service. (Mark 13:11; John 14:26; John 16:7-14; Romans 5:5; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 2 Corinthians 1:22; Ephesians 5:18).

We believe that Adam and Eve were created in the image of God (the Imago Dei) in innocence but fell into sin and became separated from God. All people are sinners by birth and by choice and therefore are under just condemnation, without defense or excuse. We believe that every man and woman is lost and needs a savior. (Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 3:1-7, 15; John 3:6-7; John 14:6; Romans 5:12; Romans 8:7-8).

Sanctity of Life – We believe that since each human, born and unborn, has been created by God in His image, they should be treated with love, honor, and dignity regardless of age, race, sex, background, beliefs, or convictions. The duty of Christians is to represent Christ’s love to those around them, believers and non-believers alike, and affirm the dignity given to them by God by creating them in the Imago Dei (Image of God). (Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 5:1-2; Genesis 9:6; Psalm 139:13-14; Jeremiah 1:5; Matthew 7:12; Romans 5:8; Galatians 1:15; Ephesians 4:15, 32; James 3:8-11; 1 John 4:9-11).

Marriage, Sex, and Identity – We believe that God’s design for marriage is as a covenant relationship between one man and one woman, in a single exclusive union, for life. We also believe that God fearfully and wonderfully created each person, male or female, as fixed bodily realities not to be interchanged or eradicated. God created sex as a gift to be enjoyed only within the covenant of marriage, and the exercise of sexual expression outside the biblical definition of marriage in any form is contradictory to God’s design for sexuality and marriage. (Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 2:15-25; Psalm 139; Matthew 5:27-32; Matthew 19:3-12; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, 18; 1 Corinthians 7:2-5; Ephesians 5:22-33; 1 Timothy 1:10; Hebrews 13:4).

We believe that sin is any action, inaction, or attitude that is contrary to the nature or Word of God, which constitutes a rejection of His authority, resulting in alienation from God. (Leviticus 4:27; Matthew 5:22, 28; James 1:14-15; James 4:17).

We believe that "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace, apart from any human merit, works or rituals, and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose blood was shed for the forgiveness of our sins. Each person who receives Christ as personal Savior through faith is born again of the Holy Spirit and becomes eternally secure as a child of God. (John 10:28-29; Romans 6:23; Romans 8:37-39; 1 Corinthians 12:13; 2 Corinthians 5:21)

We believe that the true Church is composed of all persons who, through saving faith in Jesus Christ, have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit. There is one church universal, composed of all those throughout the world throughout history who acknowledge Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. The Scriptures command believers to gather in order to devote themselves to worship, prayer, teaching of the Word, observance of the ordinances (baptism and communion), fellowship, service to the body through the development and use of talents and gifts, and outreach to the world in fulfillment of the command of Christ to make disciples of all nations. Wherever God’s people meet regularly in obedience to this command there is the local expression of the church – under the oversight of elders and other supportive leadership. The church’s members are to work together in love and unity, intent on the ultimate purpose of glorifying Christ. (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 2:41-46; Romans 12:1; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13; 1 Corinthians 14:26; 2 Corinthians 6:14; Ephesians 4:4-6, 15-16; Ephesians 5:23)

We believe that baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, as a testimony of the person's faith in the crucified, buried, and risen Christ. It is a confession that the believer is dead to sin and risen to newness of life in Christ Jesus. We believe that the Lord's Supper (Communion) is a commemoration of the Lord's death "until He comes." (Matthew 28:19; 26:26-30; Acts 8:35-38; Romans 6:3-5; I Corinthians 11:23-26)

We believe angels are beings created by God to worship and serve Him, and are therefore not to be worshiped. We believe that Satan is a created angel who has fallen from his original state of perfection by rebelling against his Creator. He is the enemy of God and humanity, the prince of this world, and the god of this age who tempts mankind and accuses them before God. He has been defeated through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and shall be eternally punished in the lake of fire. (Job 1:12; 2:6; Isaiah 14:12; Zechariah 3:1; John 14:30; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Ephesians 2:2; Colossians 2:15; Revelation 20:10)

We believe in "that blessed hope" (Titus 2:13): the personal, visible return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved and the everlasting conscious suffering of the lost. We believe it is imperative for the Church to work and wait in sober watchfulness, that it may be found ready at His coming. (Zechariah 14:4-11; Matthew 25:46; John 5:28-29; 11:25-26; Acts 1:11; I Thessalonians 4:16-18; Revelation 20:4-6, 11-15)
