The Scriptures

We believe in the inspiration of the Word of God, and that both the Old and the New Testaments are inerrant in the original writings and the supreme and final authority for faith and life.

The Godhead

We believe the Godhead exists in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three persons are one God having the same nature, attributes and perfections.

The Lord Jesus Christ

We believe in

(1) His eternal existence as God.
(2) His incarnation and virgin birth.
(3) His death on the cross as the substitutionary atonement for sin.
(4) His literal bodily resurrection for the dead.
(5) His present ministry of intercession in heaven.
(6) His personal, future return to earth.

The Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit convicts man of sin, regenerates, baptizes, indwells, seals and sets apart believers unto a holy life; that He keeps and empowers believers day by day; that He is the Teacher of the Word of God and the Guide for daily living.

Man

We believe that

(1) man was created innocent and pure.
(2) Adam fell through the sin of disobedience.
(3) Therefore all men are corrupted in body, soul and spirit
(4) All men need redemption.

Salvation

We believe that

(1) salvation is by grace, a free gift from God apart from works.
(2) salvation requires repentance, a turning from one’s own way to God’s way.
(3) salvation is through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
(4) all who receive Jesus Christ are regenerated by the Holy Spirit and become children of God.
5) true salvation will be manifested by a changed life.

The Future

We believe

(1) in the personal, visible, bodily return of Jesus Christ to earth.
(2) in the bodily resurrection of the just to eternal abode in the glory of God’s presence.
(3) in the bodily resurrection of the unjust to judgment and everlasting separation from God.

Marriage

We believe that the term marriage has only one meaning, that marriage sanctioned by God joins one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as described in Scripture. Marriage was created by God (Genesis 2:24) and it was intended to be for life (Mark 10:2-12).  

Gender

We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person male and female.  These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God (Genesis 1:26-27).  Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person.
