We believe in one God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (John14:9-20; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 John 5:1-12)

     - We believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of all things visible and invisible. (Genesis 1:1; Matthew 5:16, 45; 6:1, 4, 8, 9; Acts 17:24-28; Hebrews 11:3; James 1:17)

     - We believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the eternal Word, the one and only Savior. (John 1:1, 14, 29; 3:16; Phil. 2:6-11; Col. 1:15-19; 1 John 4:9)
          • Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, both fully human and fully divine; Who lived a sinless life; Who suffered and was crucified as an atonement for sin; Who rose again bodily from the dead on the third day; Who ascended into Heaven; and Who will return in victory to rule forever. (Luke 1:26-35; Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 4:15; Romans 5:15-17; Luke 22:47-24:53; John 20:24-29; 1 Corinthians 15:3-8; Acts 1:1-9; Colossians 3:1; Revelation 1:7-8; 11:15)

     - We believe in the Holy Spirit.
          • Who convicts of sin; Who indwells every Christian; Who helps us in our weakness and intercedes for us in prayer; and Who empowers us to a fruitful Christian life. (John 16:8; 1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19; 2 Timothy 1:14; Romans 8:26; Galatians 5:22-23)

We believe in the Bible – God’s Holy Word, Scripture.

     - We believe God inspired the original writings of the Scripture and those original writings were consequently without error. (Mark 12:36; John 14:26; 16:12-15; Acts 1:16; 1 Corinthians 2:12-13; 2 Timothy 3:14-16; 2 Peter 1:20-21)

     - We believe that the Bible is the final authority for all matters of faith, truth, morality, and Christian living. (Isaiah 40:8; Psalm 119:11, 105; Matthew 5:18; 24:35; Romans 15:4)

     - We believe the Bible teaches that God is the Creator and Sustainer of human life; that God creates each person in His image; and that life is therefore sacred, from conception to natural death. We believe that God creates each person as male or female; that these two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the “image of God” in humankind; and that each person’s biological gender is an intrinsic, immutable aspect of his or her nature and identity. (Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 2:7, 21-22; Psalm 139:13-18)

     - We believe the Bible teaches that God established marriage in the beginning as a lifelong, exclusive relationship between one man and one woman; that He has reserved sexual intimacy as an expression of love and commitment between married couples; and that any intimate expression of sexuality outside of Biblical marriage is sin. (Genesis 2:23-25; Exodus 20:14, 17, 22:19; Leviticus 18:1-20, 22-23; 20:11-21; Matthew 19:4-6, 9; Romans 1:18-31; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, 15-20; 1 Timothy 1:8-11; Jude 7)

We believe in the Church of Jesus Christ, founded on the Day of Pentecost, consisting of all Christians everywhere, and organized into local assemblies, called churches. (Matthew 16:13-18; Acts 2:14-47)

     - We believe the Bible teaches that every Christian should be an active member of a local church. (Hebrews 10:24-25)

     - We believe that the Elders of the church are the overseers of its affairs and the shepherds of its members; that they are the final interpretive authority of the Bible’s meaning and application for the church; and that they are responsible for the oversight, instruction, edification, discipline, and restoration of church members. (1 Peter 5:1-4; Titus 1:9, 2:1-15; Hebrews 13:17; Matthew 18:15-17; Galatians 6:1; 1 Corinthians 5:11-13)

     - We believe that the Bible instructs church members to:
          • Meet together regularly for fellowship, worship, teaching, and the Lord’s Supper. (Acts 2:42; Hebrews 10:25; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26)
          • Use our natural abilities and spiritual gifts to serve one another. (Romans 12; 1 Peter 4:10; Galatians 5:13; 1 Corinthians 12:7)
          • Love one another, bear with one another, accept one another, and forgive one another. (John 13:34-35; John 15:17; 1 John 4:7, 11; Romans 13:8; Ephesians 4:2, 32; Colossians 3:14; Romans 15:7)
          • Seek unity, agreement, and peace with one another. (Romans 12:16, 18; 1 Thessalonians 5:13; Philippians 2:2; 2 Corinthians 13:11)
          • Encourage and build up one another. (1 Thessalonians 5:11)
          • Bear one another’s burdens and pray for one another. (Galatians 6:2; James 5:6)
          • Spur one another to love and good deeds. (Hebrews 10:24)
          • Submit to the authority of the elders of the church. (Hebrews 13:17)
          • Support the church financially. (2 Corinthians 8:7; Malachi 3:10; 1 Timothy 5:17-18)
          • Pursue personal holiness and obedience to God’s Word.
          • Strive together to fulfill the Great Commission.
