Our Beliefs
The Bible
We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as verbally inspired and inerrant in the original writings, and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life. (2 Peter 1:21; 2 Timothy 3:16-17)

Godhead
We believe in one true and living God existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe the Trinity is eternal in being, identical in essence, equal in power and glory and having the same divine attributes and perfections. He is an intelligent, sovereign, spiritual, and personal Being; absolutely separate from and above the world as its Creator, yet everywhere present in the world as the Upholder of all things. (Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; Psalm 83:18; 139:7-9; Matthew 28:19; John 10:30; 15:26, Colossians 1:15-18)

Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ, eternally existing, is the only begotten Son of God, who became a sinless man to redeem mankind through His atoning death on the cross. He is both fully God and fully man. He was virgin born, sinless in life, died literally, resurrected bodily, and ascended into Heaven. Now before God the Father He stands for us as Advocate and Intercessor. (John 1:1, 14; 3:16; Matthew 1:18-25; Galatians 4:4-5; Philippians 2:5-11; 1 Corinthians 15:3-7; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 4:14-16; 1 John 2:1)

The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit of God is a Person who has personality and all the attributes of Deity, and He is the third Person of the Godhead. He convicts the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment. He regenerates, indwells, baptizes, seals, and anoints all who become children of God through Christ. He further empowers, guides, teaches, sanctifies, and fills believers who daily surrender to Him. (John 3:5-8; John 14:16-18, 26; John 16:7-14; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 12:13; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Ephesians 1:13; 5:18; Titus 3:5)

Sin
We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death which is separation from God, and that all human beings are born with a sin nature and are now sinners by birth and choice, positively inclined to evil, and are therefore under just condemnation to eternal ruin without defense or excuse (Genesis 2:1; Romans 5:12-21; Psalm 51:5; Psalm 58:3; 1 Corinthians 2:14; Romans 1:20; Genesis 1:26-27)

Salvation
We believe that God has provided a way of salvation (John 14:6) from the consequences of sins (Romans 6:23) through Christ's shed blood on the Cross. (1 Peter 1:18-19) This salvation was given because of the love of God (John 3:16) and is available to all mankind with no limitations whatsoever (1 John 2:2). The sinner can believe this provision of salvation only after hearing the Gospel (Romans 10:17; Matthew 28:19) and the convicting work of the Holy Spirit (John 16:8).
