We believe the Holy Scriptures, comprised of the Old and New Testaments, are the fully and verbally inspired word and revelation of God and are therefore infallible, inerrant, and God-breathed in the original writings and completely trustworthy in all areas in which they speak. Their central salvation message and essential teachings are clear and accessible to all who follow the standard and self-evident rules of literary interpretation. They are therefore the supreme, unmediated, and final authority of faith and practice for every believer (Psalm 19:7-11; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:16-21).

We believe there is only one eternal, almighty, and perfect God. Within the Being of this one true God exist three eternally distinct and coequal Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three Persons are the one true God. This truth is known as the Trinity or Tri-unity, and while neither of these words appear in the Bible, proof of this doctrine is based on the evidence of this teaching as taught in the Bible (Genesis 1:26; 3:22; 11:7; Isaiah 6:8; Matthew 3:16; 28:19; John 14:16-17, 26; 15:26; 20:28; Acts 5:3,4; 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 Peter 1:2; 1 John 5:1-8).

We believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ - His virgin birth; that He is the incarnation of the Father—God manifested in the flesh, for whom and by whom all things were created (John 1:1-14; 1 John 4:2,3; Matthew 1:23; Col. 1:16). Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, the Second Person of the Trinity, who took upon Himself human flesh through the miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit in the womb of the Virgin Mary. He who is the true God became true man, uniting two natures in one person forever.

We believe Jesus' death on the cross provided a penal substitutionary atonement for the sins of humanity, in which He by the grace of God tasted death for every man, and that all must be born again or are forever lost (Hebrews 2:9; John 6:44- 69; John 3:1-18). Christ lived a perfect, sinless life, died on the cross as an atoning sacrifice for our sins In salvation we are rescued from God's wrath by His unmerited grace alone, through faith alone, on account of Christ alone.

We believe in the physical resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and that He ascended bodily into Heaven where He is now at the right hand of God serving as our only Mediator, High Priest, and Advocate (Acts 3:12- 26; John 20; Hebrews 9:24; 1 Corinthians 15:12-28). He will return bodily and visibly to the earth as King of kings and will judge every human being who has ever lived.(1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15:50-55; Revelation 19:19-20; Revelation 20:1-6).

We believe in the universality and exceeding sinfulness of sin (Ezekiel 18:4; Romans 3:1-26; Romans 6:23). In Adam human beings were created in the image of God (i.e., they share in a finite way the communicable attributes of God, including personality, spirituality, rationality, and morality). Through the fall of Adam that image of God in humanity has been defiled, although not eliminated. Every human being is radically corrupt and estranged from God. God condemns human beings because of their descent into sin, both through their relationship to Adam and through individual choice. The desperate need of humanity is forgiveness of sins and consequent restoration of fellowship with God; yet humans remain totally unable to atone for and restore themselves.

We believe the Christian church, which is the body and bride of Christ, is composed of all persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit. Corporately and individually, its members strive to worship, serve, and glorify God through prayer and praise, diligent study and application of the Scriptures, evangelism (Matthew 28:16-20; Acts 1:8), sanctified living, maintaining good works (Ephesians 4:1-32; Titus 2:1-5; Titus 3:1-11), and observance of the rites of baptism and the Lord's Supper. The ultimate mission of the church is the discipleship of all nations not only the saving of souls (which is primary) but also bringing the gospel to bare on every aspect of life and thought until the Lord returns.

We believe that those who have received the free gift of salvation will live forever in the fellowship and Kingdom of God (Heaven, a literal place). Eternal, conscious punishment apart from the fellowship and Kingdom of God (Hell, which is also a literal place) is the ultimate destiny of unredeemed humanity, Satan, and his entire angelic host. (2 Corinthians 5:1-10; Revelation 20:1-15; Revelation 21 and 22).

We believe in the indwelling of the Holy Spirit for all Christians, one baptism but many fillings (daily control) (Romans 8:14-27). The Holy Spirit is the eternal Third Person of the Triune God, the Regenerator and Sanctifier of the redeemed, the Bestower of spiritual fruit and gifts, and the abiding Advocate who empowers believers for godly living and service.

We believe in the personality and reality of Satan (Isaiah 14:12-17; Matthew 4:2-11; John 8:44; Revelation 12:9-10).
