We believe the Bible is God's Word and is without error in its original manuscripts. It was written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and still has supreme authority in all matters of our faith and how we live our lives.

We believe there is one living and true God, and He exists eternally in three persons, known as the Trinity. These three persons are separate but equal in their divine perfection and work harmoniously in the world's creation, guidance, and redemption.

|
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 men, hears and answers prayer, and saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
|
|
We believe that Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, and teachings. We believe by His death, resurrection, and return to heaven, He has paid the debt of sin for all people.

|
|
|
|
We believe in the Holy Spirit who came to convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment, 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 our abiding helper, teacher and guide.

|
We believe that all people are sinners by nature 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. We believe that salvation is available exclusively to those who repent of their sins and trust in Jesus Christ, thus being regenerated by the Spirit.

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 profession of faith, and associated for worship, work and fellowship. We believe that God has laid upon the members of the local church the primary task of giving the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost world.

|
|
We believe in two ordinances for the local church; baptism and the Lord’s Supper. We believe that 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 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 judgment, the eternal blessing of the righteous, and the endless suffering of the wicked.
