THE BIBLE: 
We believe the Bible, comprised of the Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word. We also  believe the Bible to be inerrant in the original writings, God-breathed, and the complete and final authority for faith and practice.  While still using the individual writing styles of the human authors, the Holy Spirit perfectly guided them to ensure they wrote  precisely what He wanted written, without error or omission. 

GOD: 
We believe in one God, who is Creator of all, who has revealed Himself in three distinct Persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, yet  who is one in being, essence, and glory. We believe God is eternal, infinite, sovereign, omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, and  unchanging. We also believe that God is holy, just, and righteous―that God is love, gracious, merciful, and good. 

JESUS CHRIST: 
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ. We believe that He is God incarnate, God in human form, the express image of the Father,  who, without ceasing to be God, became man in order that He might demonstrate who God is and provide the means of salvation  for humanity. We believe that Jesus Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary; that He is truly and fully  God and man; that He lived a perfect, and sinless life; that all His teachings are true and worthy of obedience. We believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for all humanity as a substitutionary sacrifice. We also hold that His death is sufficient to provide  salvation for all who believe in Him and receive Him as Savior; that our justification is grounded in the shedding of His blood and  that it is attested by His literal and physical resurrection from the dead. We believe that Jesus Christ ascended to Heaven in His  glorified body and is now seated at the right hand of God as our High Priest and Advocate. 

THE HOLY SPIRIT:
We believe in the deity and personality of the Holy Spirit. We believe that He regenerates sinners and indwells believers. We  believe He is the agent by whom Christ baptizes all believers into His body and that He is the seal by whom the Father guarantees  the salvation of believers unto the day of redemption. We also believe that He is the Divine Teacher who illumines believers’  hearts and minds as they study the Word of God and that He is ultimately sovereign in the distribution of spiritual gifts, endowing  every believer with at least one spiritual gift to be utilized for the good of the one body―the Church. 

SALVATION: 
We believe that salvation is a gift of God’s grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. We believe that  Christ’s death fully accomplished justification through faith and redemption from sin, and that Christ died in our place and bore  our sins in His own body, and that on the third day after His death, Jesus physically rose again, demonstrating His victory over sin  and death, by the Will of Power of God the Father. We believe salvation is received by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ  alone. We also believe that good works and obedience are results of salvation, not requirements for salvation, and that due to  the greatness, sufficiency, and perfection of Christ’s sacrifice, all those who have truly received Christ as Savior are eternally secure  in salvation, kept by God’s power, secured and sealed in Christ forever. We believe that just as salvation cannot be earned by good  works, neither does it need good works to be maintained or sustained―good works and changed lives are the inevitable results of  salvation. 

THE CHURCH:
We believe that the Church, the Body of Christ, is a spiritual organism made up of all believers of this present age. We believe in  the ordinances of believer’s water baptism by immersion as a testimony to Christ and identification with Christ, and that the Lord’s  Supper is a memorial meal of remembrance of Christ’s death and shed blood. We believe that through the church, believers are to  be taught to obey the Lord Jesus Christ and to testify concerning their faith in Him as Savior, as well as to honor Him by holy and  righteous living. We believe in the Great Commission as the primary mission of the Church and that it is the obligation of all  believers to witness, by word and life, to the truths of God’s Word, proclaiming the Gospel of Grace to all the inhabitants of the  earth.
