We believe the Bible to be the verbally inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, and the supreme and final authority in doctrine and practice. 

2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21; John 17:17

We believe the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, so that he would reveal God, fulfill prophecy, and redeem sinful man. We believe he accomplished our redemption through his substitutionary sacrifice on the cross, his burial, and his bodily resurrection. We believe our redemption and salvation are guaranteed by his literal, physical resurrection from the dead and that he is the only means of salvation.

John 1:1; 14; 18; Luke 1:35; Romans 3:24-26; 4:25; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Philippians 2:5-8; 1 Timothy 2:5

We believe that Jesus Christ is the visible image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation, the creator and sustainer of heaven and earth, and the head of the church. We believe the Lord Jesus Christ is now in heaven, exalted to the right hand of God, where, as high priest to his people, he serves as our advocate and intercedes for us.

Colossians 1:15-19; Hebrews 1:3; 3:1; 7:23-25; 1 John 2:1-2

We believe the Holy Spirit is the eternal God, who indwells in all who believe in Jesus, at the moment of Salvation. The Holy Spirit baptizes believers into the body, seals them for salvation, regenerates them to new life, bestows spiritual gifts on each believer, and is fully present to empower and fill us for Christ-exalting ministry continually.

John 16:7-11; John 3:8; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11; 13; John 14:16-17; Ephesians 4:30; 5:18; 1 Thessalonians 5:19; Ephesians 1:13-14

We believe there is only One True God, revealed in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, commonly known together as the Trinity.

Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19-20; 2 Corinthians 13:14; see also 1 Corinthians 8:6; Colossians 2:9; Acts 5:3-4; 1 John 5:7-8

We believe mankind was created innocent and in the image and likeness of God, but mankind sinned, bringing both physical and spiritual death into the world. (Genesis 1:27; 2:17; 3:19). We believe that mankind’s sinful nature is rebellious toward God and his good design for life and worship. (Romans 1:20-24; Ephesians 2:1-3). Mankind’s rebellion causes confusion about good and evil, resulting in harm to people, ultimately leading to judgment, despair, and death.

Genesis 1:31; Galatians 5:16-21; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; James 1:13-15

We believe that God loves and pursues mankind despite our rebellion. (Romans 5:8) He offers forgiveness, healing, and abundant life to anyone who turns to him in humility.

John 3:17; 10:10; Titus 3:3-7; 1 Peter 5:6-7

We believe salvation is a sovereign gift of God and is received by mankind through personal faith in Jesus Christ and his sacrifice for sin. We believe mankind is justified by grace through faith apart from works. (Acts 13:38-39; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 1:4-5; 2:8-10). We believe that Jesus Christ is the only means of salvation and that no one is saved apart from a conscious and personal decision to trust in Christ as his or her one and only Savior. (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 10:9-10). We believe all true believers, once saved, are kept secure in Christ forever.

Romans 8:1; 29-30; 38-39; John 10:27-30

We believe that God ordained marriage as a lifelong union between one biological male and one biological female.

Genesis 2:18; Matthew 19:4-9; Ephesians 5:31-33;  Genesis 1:26-28

We believe in the future, visible, and bodily return of Jesus Christ to the earth, commonly called the Second Coming, to rule the nations and establish his kingdom on earth.

Philippians 3:20; Matthew 24:15-31; Zechariah 14:4-11; Revelation 19:11-21

Following faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the new convert is commanded by the Word of God to be baptized in water in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38; Mark 16:16; Acts 8:12, 36-38; 10:47-48

A unique time of communion in the presence of God when the elements of bread and grape juice (the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ) are taken in remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross

Matthew 26:26-29; I Corinthians 10:16, 11:23-25
