We believe the Bible is the only inspired, inerrant and infallible Word of God. It alone is the final authority in determining all doctrinal truths. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Peter 1:20-21)

We believe there is only one true God, eternally existent, infinitely perfect, the Creator, Sustainer, and Ruler of all things. The God head is triune, existing in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Each person is fully God, their glory equal, and their majesty co-eternal.  (Genesis 1:1-2, 2:1-4; Deuteronomy 6:4, 33:27; 2 Samuel 22:31; Nehemiah 9:6; Psalm 22:28, 103:19, 147:5; Isaiah 43:10-11, 45:18; Daniel 5:21; Matthew 3:15-17, 5:48; Mark 12:29; John 1:1-3; 1 Corinthians 8:4; Philippians 2:6-11;  1 Timothy 1:17; Hebrews 1:1-3, 9:14; 1 John 5:7; Revelation 1:8, 4:11)

We Believe for His own glory and by His own decree, the Triune God created heaven and earth, time, and all things visible and invisible, living and nonliving, material and nonmaterial. (Genesis 1:1-2:3; Exodus 20:11, 31:17; Nehemiah 9:6; Colossians 1:16-17; Revelation 22:13)

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His personal and bodily future return to the earth in power and glory. We believe He took on human flesh to be fully man without ever ceasing to be fully God. (Isaiah 7:14, 53:4-6; Matthew 1:16-25, 26:63-64, Luke 1:30-33, 21:27, 24:39, 46-47; John 1:1-3, 14, 18, 3:16, 6:39-40, 8:58, 19:30; Acts 1:9-11, 2:22-24, 17:31; 1 Corinthians 15:3-5, 47; 2 Corinthians 5:21, Ephesians 1:17-23; Philippians 2:5-8; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; 1 Timothy 3:16; 2 Timothy 4:1; Hebrews 7:25, 9:11-12, 10:12-14; 1 Peter 4:5; 1 John 2:2; Revelation 1:7)

We believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential to personal salvation. (John 6:65; Romans 8, 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 2:6-14, 12:3; 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24; Titus 3:3-7)

We believe that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is given to believers who ask for it. It is the will of God that each believer should be filled with the Holy Spirit and be sanctified wholly. This is both a crisis and a progressive experience wrought in the life of the believer subsequent to conversion. The Holy Spirit in a person’s life is evidenced by changes in his life, including a renewed love for God and people, an intensified consecration to God, a dedication to His work, a more active love for Christ, for His Word, and for the lost, and holy living. The Spirit-filled believer has the capability of speaking with new tongues whether or not he or she chooses to exercise this gift. (Joel 2:28-29; Matthew 3:11; John 14:15-18; Acts 2:1-4, 38)

We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by who's indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life. Through illumination He enables men to understand truth and with it comes the infilling of power for life and service, and the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry (Luke 24:29; John 16:13; Acts 1:8, 4:31; Romans 8:11; 1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19-20, 12:1-31; Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 2:19-22; 1 Peter 4:10)

We Believe the 66 books of the Bible are the unique, written Word of God. The Bible is divinely inspired, inerrant, infallible, supremely authoritative, and sufficient in everything it teaches. Its assertions are factually true in all the original autographs. Its authority is not limited to spiritual, religious, or redemptive themes but includes its assertions in such fields as history and science. (Deuteronomy 4:2, 12:32; 2 Timothy 3:16–17; Revelation 22:18–19)

We Believe the final guide to the interpretation of Scripture is Scripture itself (Proverbs 8:8–9; Matthew 19:4, 22:31; Mark 7:13, 12:10, 12:26; Luke 6:3; 2 Timothy 3:16–17).

We Believe all things necessary for our salvation are expressly and clearly taught in Scripture (foundation of the gospel: Genesis 1:1, 1:31, 3:17–19; Romans 5:12, 3:23; presenting the gospel: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Romans 6:23, 10:9; John 3:14–18; Acts 16:30–31; Ephesians 2:8; Romans 5:1–2)

We believe man, consisting of two genders (male and female), was originally created good and upright in the image and likeness of God. Man's fall through voluntary disobedience, incurring both physical and spiritual death is the basis for the necessity of salvation for mankind and the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the redeeming blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. (Genesis 1:26-27, 3:1-7, 5:2, 9:6; Matthew 19:4-6; Mark 10:6; John 3:3; Romans 5:12-21, 10:9-10,13; 1 Corinthians 11:7, 15:21-22; James 3:9)

We believe all human life is sacred and begins at conception (defined as the moment of fertilization). Each unborn child is a unique, living human being, created in the image of God, and must be respected and protected both before and after birth. The abortion of an unborn child or the active, intentional taking of human life through euthanasia or assisted suicide constitutes a violation of the sanctity of human life and is a crime against God and man (Genesis 9:6; Exodus 20:13; Deuteronomy 5:17; 1 Corinthians 15:49; James 2:11)

We believe there is only one race of mankind—the human race or Adam’s race. Adam and Eve were the first two humans. All people alive today are the descendants of Adam and Eve and subsequently Noah (Genesis 1:26–27, 3:20, 10:1, 10:32; 1 Corinthians 15:45–47; Luke 17:27; Hebrews 11:7; 1 Peter 3:20; 2 Peter 2:5)

We believe since all humans are made in the image of God, all humans have equal dignity and value regardless of age (including the unborn), intelligence, gender, physical ability, shade of skin tone, religion, ethnicity, or any other characteristic (Genesis 1:26–27, 3:20, 11:9; Acts 17:26–28)

We believe parents are responsible to instruct their children in Christian faith and conduct, to set before them godly and consistent examples of the same, and in every way to “bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord” (Deuteronomy 6:6–9; Proverbs 22:6; Ephesians 6:4)

We believe that marriage is God ordained and is to be an exclusive relationship, a lifelong faithful union between a man and a woman. The only legitimate marriage, based on the creation ordinance in Genesis 1 and 2, sanctioned by God is the joining of one naturally born man and one naturally born woman in a single, exclusive union as delineated in Scripture. This relationship between a husband and wife should parallel the relationship between Christ and His Church. God intends sexual intimacy to only occur between a man and a woman who are married to each other and has commanded that no sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman. Any form of sexual immorality, such as adultery, fornication, prostitution, homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, pornography, abuse, or any attempt to change one’s gender, or disagreement with one’s biological gender, is sinful and offensive to God (Genesis 1:27–28, 2:22-24,; Matthew 5:27–30, 19:4-6; Mark 10:2–9; 1 Corinthians 6:9–11; Ephesians 5:23-30; 1 Thessalonians 4:3–7; Hebrews 13:4)

We believe gender and biological sex are equivalent and cannot be separated. A person’s gender is determined at conception (fertilization), coded in the DNA, and cannot be changed by drugs, hormones, or surgery. Rejection of one’s biological sex (gender) or identifying oneself by the opposite sex is a sinful rejection of the way God made that person. These truths must be communicated with compassion, love, kindness, and respect, pointing everyone to the truth that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking his mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ (Genesis 1:26–28, 5:1–2; Psalm 139:13–16; Jeremiah 1:5; Matthew 1:20–21, 19:4; Acts 3:19; 1 Corinthians 6:9–11)

We believe salvation involves the redemption of the whole man and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. In its broadest sense, salvation includes freedom from the power and penalty of sin, regeneration, justification, sanctification, and glorification. There is no salvation apart from personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord. (John 3:36, Acts 2:21, 4:12, 1 Corinthians 1:30, 2 Corinthians 5:17-21, Ephesians 1:7)

We believe salvation is by God’s grace alone, a gift received by faith alone in Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8–9; Titus 3:3–7)

We believe that divine healing is available through the redemptive work of Christ on the cross. Deliverance from sickness is provided in the Atonement and is the privilege of all believers. (Psalm 103:2-3, Isaiah 53:4-5, James 5:13-16, 1 Peter 2:24)

We believe the church of Jesus Christ is the universal, spiritual body of believers from every tribe, tongue, kindred and race of peoples, and is indwelt by God through the Holy Spirit and divinely empowered to fulfill ministry and her great commission on earth. Making disciples is mandated to all believers as stated in The Great Commission for the purpose of equipping the saints for the work of the ministry. (Matthew 28:19-20, Ephesians 2:19-22, 4:12-13;16)

We believe all Christians are to live in fellowship with a local, Bible-believing church (as portrayed in the New Testament), uniting in its worship of the triune God, supporting the great commission, and loving one another with pure and sincere hearts (Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 11:17–33, 16:2; Hebrews 10:23–25, 13:17)

We believe A New Testament church of the Lord Jesus Christ is an autonomous local congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel.

We believe a divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for the fourfold purpose of leading the Church in: (1) evangelization of the world (Mark 16:15-20), (2) worship of God (John 4:23,24), (3) building a Body of saints being perfected in the image of His Son (Ephesians 4:11,16), and (4) Meeting human need with ministries of love and compassion (Psalms 112:9; Galatians 2:10; 6:10; James 1:27)

We believe in the resurrection and final judgment of the saved (those who believe in Christ) and the lost (those who do not believe in Christ), the saved being resurrected to everlasting life and the lost being resurrected to everlasting damnation in the lake of fire. (Matthew 13:49-50, 25:41,46; John 3:16-18 & 36, 5:24&28-29, 6:44; Romans 6:23; 1 Corinthians 15:50; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; 1 John 5:11-13; Revelation 20:11-15, 21:8) 

We believe Satan, who is a personal spiritual adversary of both God and mankind, will be judged and cast into the lake of fire (hell) for eternity (Revelation 20:10)

 We believe in, and practice two ordinances:

(1) Water Baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer's faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Savior, the believer's death to sin, the burial of the old life, and the resurrection to walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus. (Matthew 28:19)

(2) Holy Communion (the Lord’s Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ’s suffering and death for our salvation. (Matthew 26:26-30, Luke 22:19-20, 1 Corinthians 10:16; 11:23-26)
