THE WORD OF GOD
We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, and without error in the original manuscripts and that it has supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

THE TRINITY
We believe that there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons; that these are equal in every divine perfection; and that they execute distinct but harmonious offices in the work of creation, providence, and redemption.

GOD THE FATHER
We believe in God the Father, an infinite personal spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, and love. We believe that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of each person, that He hears and answers prayer, and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.

JESUS CHRIST
We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, and teachings. We believe in His substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people, and personal, visible return to Earth.

THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the Holy Spirit, who came forth from the Father and Son, to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgement and to regenerate, sanctify, and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Christ and that He is an abiding helper, teacher, and guide.

REGENERATION
We believe that all people are sinners by nature and by choice and are, therefore, under condemnation. We believe that those who repent of their sins and trust in Jesus Christ as Savior are regenerated by the Holy Spirit.

THE ORDINANCES
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has committed two ordinances to the local church: baptism and the Lord’s Supper. We believe that the Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water into the name of the triune God. We believe that the Lord’s Supper was instituted by Christ for commemoration of His death. We believe that these two ordinances should be observed and administered until the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

THE CHURCH
We believe in the universal church: a living spiritual body of which Christ is the head and all regenerated persons are members. We believe in the local church consisting of a company of believers in Jesus Christ, baptized on a credible confession of faith, and associated for worship, work, and fellowship. We believe that God has laid upon the local church the primary task of giving the gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost world.

CHRISTIAN CONDUCT
We believe that Christians should live for the glory of God and the well-being of others; that their conduct should be blameless before the world; that they should be faithful stewards of their possessions, pursuing holiness and obedience; and that they should seek to realize for themselves and others the full stature of maturity in Christ.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
We believe that every human being has direct relations with God and is responsible to God alone in all matters of faith; that each church is independent and must be free from interference by any ecclesiastical of political authority; and that, therefore, the Church and State must be kept separate as having different functions, each fulfilling its duties free from dictation or patronage of the other.

CHURCH COOPERATION
We believe that local churches can best promote the cause of Jesus Christ by cooperating with one another in an association of churches with sound biblical doctrine. Churches may likewise cooperate with inter-denominational fellowships on a voluntary basis.

THE LAST THINGS
We believe in the personal and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to Earth and the establishment of His Kingdom. We believe in the resurrection of the body, the final judgement, and eternal felicity of the righteous and endless suffering of the wicked.

MARRIAGE AND SEXUALITY
We believe that marriage is a God-ordained relationship between a biological man and a biological woman and is the foundational unit of a stable society. We believe that any practice of sexuality outside of this marriage bond is offensive to God.

GENDER
We believe that God creates each person as a male or female and that these distinct, complementary genders together reflect God’s design for humanity. Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of God’s created design for that person.

LIFE
We believe that unborn life starts at conception as God defines it. All life is sacred as man is man in the image of God. End of life is determined by God’s sovereignty, and it is considered sin to take one’s own life or assist in taking one’s life.

FINAL AUTHORITY
This does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. The Bible itself, as the infallible, inspired Word of God that speaks the final authority concerning truth, morality, and proper conduct of humanity, is the sole and final source of all that we believe.
