1. God's Word
We believe that the Bible is the complete, written Word of God, sixty-six books in the Old and New Testaments, that each and every word in the original manuscripts was inspired by God, and therefore completely without error.
2. God
We believe that the Godhead or Trinity eternally exists in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Who are One God deserving precisely the same homage, confidence and obedience.
3. Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human, manifested in the flesh by virgin birth. He lived a sinless life, died for our sins, arose bodily from the dead, ascended into Heaven, is preparing a place for us as our High Priest and is coming again for His Church.
4. the Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is God, a divine, eternal Person, having an intellect, emotions and a will of His own. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment, regenerates believers, permanently brings the presence of God into the Christian's life, and imparts spiritual gifts to each one.
5. Man
We believe that all people were created in God's own image and likeness. In Adam all humanity fell into sin with the result that all of us are sinners, resulting in spiritual and physical death. All of us are now sinful by nature and practice, unable to save ourselves from sin.
6. Salvation
We believe that salvation is the free gift of God, brought to us by His grace and received by faith alone in Christ, Who died for our sins and rose again. Salvation is apart from any sacraments, good works or human merit.
7. Sanctification
We believe that every believer is promised positional, progressive and ultimate sanctification — being set apart fully for God now and forever.
8. Assurance
We believe that all who have put their faith in Christ can have assurance of salvation and are eternally secure in Christ.
9. the Church
We believe that all believers are members of the Body of Christ, the Church, which Christ is building. This Body is present on earth in local churches where believers should assemble for teaching, fellowship, prayer and ministry, observing believer baptism and communion.
10. Angels
We believe that angels were originally created as holy creatures, but now exist as fallen and unfallen. Satan is a fallen angel.
11. Future Life
We believe that the believer, upon physical death, is immediately with the Lord. We believe in the blessed hope of the imminent return of the Lord for His Church, and in the biblical description of an eternal state of punishment for the unsaved and eternal blessing for the saved.
12. the Christian Life
We believe that every believer is to live a life of righteousness and good works, exhibit the fruit and fullness of the Spirit, and fulfill the Great Commission in making disciples of all nations.
13. Marriage
We believe that God ordained marriage as a voluntary union of one man and one woman. Our church reserves the term "marriage" for this covenant relationship, and our pastors and leaders will only officiate marriages that conform to this belief.
