God
We believe there is one God who eternally exists as three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe that all things were created by Him and for Him
(Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 45:21-22; Matthew 28:19; Colossians 1:16)
Jesus
We believe that God the Son became a human being in the person of Jesus Christ. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life (for He was without sin), died a substitutionary death for all mankind, was raised from the dead the third day, ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God until His enemies are made His footstool
(John 1:1; 14, Matthew 1:18-25; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 3:18; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Hebrews 10:12-13)
Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit was sent by the Father and the Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. We believe the Holy Spirit regenerates, indwells and seals believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, and that He empowers them to live as His witnesses
(John 14:16-17; John 16:7-11; Titus 3:5-6; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; Ephesians 1:13-14; Acts 1:8; Romans 12:6-8; 1 Corinthians 12-14; 1 Peter 4:10-11)
The Bible
We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant and authoritative Word of God. We believe the Bible is the final authority in every area it addresses for every individual Christian, as well as for the church collectively
(2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21; John 10:35)
People
We believe that God created human beings, male and female, in His own image. He created them sinless, equal in value, dignity, and worth
(Genesis 1:26-28; Ephesians 5:22-6:4; 1 Timothy 3:1-7)
Salvation
We believe that, as a result of the Fall, all people are sinners by nature and in need of a Savior, and that Jesus Christ is the one and only Savior of the world. We believe that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus and that all who call on the name of the Lord shall be saved eternally
(Romans 3:10; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:18-19; Matthew 1:21; 1 John 4:14; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 10:9)
The Church
We believe there is one church, the body of Christ, consisting of men and women from every tribe, tongue, people and nation. We believe that each local congregation is an expression of that universal church. We believe in the spiritual and common body of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ
(Ephesians 4:4; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Revelation 5:9; Acts 2:42-47)
Unity
We believe that the pursuit of unity within the body of believers is critical to the well-being and growth of the body of believers
(1 Corinthians 1:10, Romans 15:5-7, Acts 4:32, John 17:21, Romans 14:19, Romans 14:1)
Second Coming
We believe in a literal return of Jesus Christ to the earth and for the consummation of God’s redemptive plan
(Jude 1:14; Revelation 19:11-16; Revelation 20:4)
Resurrection
We believe in the resurrection of the dead. Believers will be raised to life and unbelievers to shame and everlasting contempt (hell)
