We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God in it's entirety and the only authority for faith and Christian living (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20-21).
We believe in One God who exists eternally in three persons in the Godhead, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4, John 1:1 and 14, John 14:9, and 2 Corinthians 3:17).
We believe that Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, and that He is fully God and man, and is the only mediator between God and mankind (John 1:1, 1 Timothy 2:5, Colossians 2:9, Matthew 1:21).
We believe that the Holy Spirit is the third person in the Godhead and is active in drawing people to Christ and making them into a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17 and John 16:8).
We believe that the death of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross was sacrificial for the sins of mankind and that He went to the cross as our substitute. He was buried and rose from the grave on the third day, and later ascended into heaven, where he sat down at the right hand of the Father(I Peter 3:18, 1Corinthians 15:4).
We believe that eternal life is a gift from God to those who believe in Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. This gift of God can only be received by faith in Christ apart from any human good works. Once a person is truly a child of God, they will never lose that gift of salvation; they are eternally secure in Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9, John 1:12, John 3:16, 2 Corinthians 1:22, Philippians 1:6).
We believe that the true local church was established by Jesus Christ as His body of believers on earth for the purpose of worship and for the mutual building up of the people of God for the work of service to God. The Word of God, the Bible, is the only authoritative and the central teaching of the church. The mission of the church is to spread the good news of salvation in Christ, locally and throughout the World (Acts 2:42, Ephesians 4:4-16, 2 Timothy 3:16, Matthew 28:18-20).
We believe in two practices that Jesus commanded His church to take part in. The Lord's Table is to be practiced as a continual remembrance of Jesus' death on the cross and baptism by immersion which was the example given by Jesus when He was baptized. A person is ready to be baptized when they are of an age that they can personally confess Christ as their personal Lord and Savior (Matthew 3:13-17, 28:19-20, I Corinthians 11:23-32).
We believe that one day the Lord Jesus will return and take His people from this earth which will begin the period of the great tribulation on the earth. He will return again a second time after the tribulation and reign for a thousand years. (I Thessalonians 4:13-18, Luke 21:25-28).
We believe in that God established marriage to be between a man and a woman for the purpose of companionship and procreation (Genesis 2:18-25, Matthew 19:4-5).
