Scripture:
We believe the Holy Scriptures to be the verbally inspired word of God, infallible and God-breathed, through which they hold the final authority for faith and life. (2 Tim. 3:16, 17; 2 Pet. 1:20, 21; Matt. 5:18; John 16:12, 13)

Trinity:
We believe in God, the one triune, infinite, personal spirit who created and governs all things and who is the sole object of our worship. This one God has always existed in eternal relationship as three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each identical in nature, equal in power and glory, and having precisely the same divine attributes. (Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14; John 4:24)

Jesus Christ
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. He became man, without ceasing to be God, and was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary in order to redeem sinful humanity. He satisfied God’s holy and just demands by dying as our substitute on the cross. He assured our redemption by His resurrection from the dead three days later. He then ascended to heaven’s glory where He reigns as King of kings and is exalted at the right hand of the Father. As High Priest for His people, He now serves as our Intercessor and Advocate from which he will someday return to the earth as judge to bring those who believe in him into his kingdom and presence.  (John 1:1-2; Luke 1:35; Rom. 3:24-25; 1 Pet. 1:3-5, Heb. 9:24, 7:25; Rom. 8:34; 1 John 2:1-2)

Humanity:
We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that through Adam’s sin, the race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God. Man has a radical propensity to sin, and of himself is utterly unable to remedy his lost condition. (Gen. 1:26, 27; Rom. 3:22, 23, 5:12; Eph. 2:1-3, 12)

Salvation:
We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins. Jesus received in His body God’s just punishment for sin; and in His resurrection from the dead He overcame sin and death on our behalf. Just as Adam was our representative Head with regard to sin and the Fall, Jesus Christ is our representative Head with regard to God’s justice and reconciliation. (Eph. 2:8-10; John 1:12; Eph. 1:7; 1 Pet. 1:18-19)

Church:
We believe that the church, which is the body and bride of Christ, is made up of a community of believers from all nations and tribes. Local gatherings of believers represent Christ’s presence on the earth through their love for one another and the proclamation of the gospel to the world. (Eph. 1:22-23, 5:25-27; 1 Cor. 12:12-14)
