The Bible
We believe that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, consisting of the 66 books of the Old and New Testament, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and written by chosen men of God. It is centered on the person and work of Jesus Christ and is the final authority in all matters of doctrine and practice. (2 Tim 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21)

The Godhead
We believe in one triune God, eternally existing as three persons yet one in being, essence, power, and glory. (Matt 28:19; John 10:30; 2 Cor 13:14) 

• God the Father – Sovereign, holy, Father of all Creation (Ps 103:19; Rev 4:11)

• God the Son – Jesus Christ, God incarnate through virgin birth, sent to earth for the salvation of man (Isaiah 7:14; Matt 1:23; Phil 2:5-8; 1 John 5:11-12) 

• God the Holy Spirit – God dwelling in and among us to comfort and convict, drawing men to salvation through faith in Jesus Christ (John 14:26; John 16:7-11; Eph 1:13-14)

Mankind
We believe that man was created in the image of God. However, through the disobedience of one man, Adam, sin entered the world separating all mankind from God. All people are sinners by nature and by choice and have no hope for an eternity in heaven with God apart from a new birth made possible by Christ’s death and bodily resurrection. (Gen 1:26-27; Jer 17:9; Rom 3:10- 12; Rom 5:12)

Salvation
We believe that salvation is God’s free gift to all who will receive it and that the atonement provided by Christ is sufficient for all the world. Salvation is obtained by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ, with no contribution of human works. Christ’s sinless life and substitutionary death on the cross fully paid the debt of sin, justified and redeemed man, while propitiating the wrath of God. Once a person places faith in the finished work of Christ, they are born again and have passed from death to life. We affirm that salvation, once attained, is secure and cannot be lost. (John 3:16; John 10:28; Rom 3:23-25; Rom 6:23; Rom 8:38-39; Rom 10:9-10; Eph 2:8-9; 1 John 2:2;)

Church
The purpose of the church is to glorify Christ by evangelizing the lost, equipping believers, and making disciples through solid, Christ-centered biblical teaching. The local church also provides a place for believers to corporately worship Christ and extend practical ministries through their Spiritual gifts to the community. (Matt 28:19-20; Rom 12:4-5; Eph 4:11-12)

Things to Come
We believe in a coming rapture of Christ’s church, followed by a period of tribulation and the second coming of Jesus Christ to earth where He will reign in a literal 1000-year kingdom after which He will judge all men. All those who have placed their faith in Christ will enter a literal heaven as a place of eternal life with God, while all who have rejected Christ will enter a literal hell as a place of everlasting judgment. (1 Thess 4:13 – 5:11; 2 Thess 2:1-12; Rev 19:11-16; Rev 20)

Sanctity of Life
We believe that human life, beginning at conception and continuing until natural death, is a sacred, holy, and precious gift from God to be respected and protected. Each human is made in God's image and each life has inherent worth and dignity independent of ability or circumstance. All humanity is greatly loved by God and it is the responsibility of the body of Christian believers to extend the same love. (Gen. 1:26-27; 9:6; Psalm 139; Matthew 22:37-39; John 3:16; Phil. 2:3)

Sanctity of Marriage
Marriage is a sacred vocation established and sanctified by God, reflecting the union of Christ and the Church, showing forth God's Kingdom on earth. It is a lifelong relationship between one man and one woman, intended for growth in holiness and the nurturing of children. God designed intimate physical relations to be enjoyed only within this God-ordained marriage. (Gen. 1: 27-28; 2:18-24; Matt. 19:4-6; Mark 10:5-9; Eph. 5:22-35; Heb. 13:4)
