God

We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three Persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Members of the Trinity are eternal in being, identical in essence, equal in power and glory, and have the same attributes and perfections.

​

Jesus Christ

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who became man without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. His mission on earth was to reveal God and redeem sinful man. He lived a life of perfect obedience to the Father and voluntarily atoned for the sins of all by dying on the cross as their substitute, thus accomplishing salvation for all who trust in Him alone. His power to redeem mankind was proven through His literal, physical resurrection from the dead. He is enthroned at the right hand of God where He ministers for the redeemed as High Priest, Intercessor, and Advocate.

​

Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity. He convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgement, and is the supernatural agent in regeneration. At the point of salvation He permanently indwells every believer and seals them until the day of redemption. He bestows spiritual gifts, guides the believer in understanding the Scriptures, and provides supernatural enablement to lead a life of Christlike character and to bear fruit to the glory of God.

​

The Bible

We believe the Holy Scriptures, composed of the sixty six books of the Old and New Testaments, to be the verbally inspired Word of God, the final authority for faith and life, inerrant in the original writings, infallible and God-breathed. They came by inspiration of God to divinely chosen men, such that they speak with the authority of God yet reflect the backgrounds, styles, and vocabularies of the human authors. The design and purpose of Scripture is for our practical instruction, and there are no other writings similarly inspired by God.  

​

The Church 

We believe that there is one universal church, comprised of all those who acknowledge Jesus Christ as Savior. The practical outworking of the universal church is the local church, which is a group of committed believers gathered together to devote themselves to worship, prayer, teaching of the Word, communion, fellowship, service to the body through gifts and talents, and outreach to the world. Wherever God's people meet regularly in obedience to this command, there is the local expression of the church. Under the leadership of the elders, its members are to work together in love and unity, intent on the one ultimate purpose of glorifying Christ.

​

The Depravity of Man

We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam's sin the race broke fellowship with God, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God. Every human being, the Man Christ Jesus excepted, is born with a nature in rebellion toward God, essentially and unchangeably bad, and unable to please God apart from divine grace.

​

Salvation

We believe that the only way to enter a right relationship with God is through trusting in the sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus Christ to forgive one's sin. Trusting in Jesus is a personal act involving repentance and faith. Salvation is wholly a work of God's free grace, not the result in whole or part of any human works or goodness.

​

Eternal Security

We believe that all true believers, once saved, are kept by God's power and are thus secure in Christ forever. No power, natural or supernatural, is able to remove the gift of eternal life from the child of God.

​

The Ministry of Believers

We believe that every Christian is called to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord. Spiritual gifts must be exercised in love to serve one another, edify the local church, and build up the body of Christ. Spiritual gifts are to be exercised according to biblical principles, not emotions of man's opinions. The Lord calls all believers to a life of discipleship, and a singular goal of making disciples of all nations. We also believe it is the responsibility of all believers to remember the work of the Lord in prayer and to support it with their time, talents, and possessions as the Lord has prospered them.

​

Human Destiny

We believe in the bodily resurrection of all mankind. Death seals the eternal destiny of every person. At death, the souls of those who have trusted Christ for salvation pass immediately into His presence, and there await the first resurrection, when soul and body are reunited to be glorified forever with the Lord. The souls of unbelievers remain to suffer everlasting conscious punishment in the Lake of Fire.

​

Satan

We believe that Satan is a real angelic being who was created perfect but was cast out of heaven because of pride. He is the author of sin and the instigator of mankind's fall from grace. He is the spiritual ruler of this present world, but shall be eternally punished with all unbelievers in the Lake of Fire.

​

The Second Advent of Christ

We believe that the next great event in the fulfillment of prophecy will be the return of the Lord in the air to gather His people {both the living believers and those who have died in Christ} to heaven. In light of the imminent coming of the Lord, believers are to live godly lives, comfort one another, and eagerly wait for the Lord's return.
