The Bible: We believe the entire Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God. It, alone, is the final authority in determining all doctrinal truths. (Proverbs 30:5; II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20-21)
God: We believe in one God who exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
(Matthew 3:16-17; I John 5:7-8)
Mankind: We believe that man and woman was created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him, but became alienated from that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, mankind is totally incapable of coming back into a right relationship with God by his own effort. (Genesis 1:26, Romans 3:23)
Jesus Christ: We believe that Jesus Christ (the Son of God) became flesh to reveal God to man and to become the Savior of the lost. He, being fully God yet fully man, is the only person to have lived a sinless life. (Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1, 14; I Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 4:15)
Salvation: We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ on the cross provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sins. Therefore, salvation only occurs when a person places their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as the sufficient payment for their sin. (Luke 24:46-47; John 1:29; Acts 3:19; I John 1:7-9; Revelation 5:9)
The Christian Life: We believe that every Christian should live for Christ and not for himself. By obedience to the Bible and daily yielding to the Spirit, every believer should mature and become conformed to the image of Christ. (Matthew 16:24; John 14:23; Galatians 5:25; II Corinthians 3:18; I Thessalonians 4:3)
The Church: We believe that the church is the body of Christ. The members are those who have trusted by faith the finished work of Christ. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving Him and by making Him known to a lost world. (I Corinthians 12:27; Ephesians 1:22-23)
The Holy Spirit: We believe that the Holy Spirit was given, after Jesus ascended into heaven, to edify and empower the individual believer and church. The Holy Spirit is alive and active today. (Acts 1:5, 8; Ephesians 3:16)
