The Bible:  We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired
lWord of God, inerrant in the original writings, complete as the revelation of God's plan for salvation
and the final authority for Christian faith and practice.

God, the Father:  We believe in God the Father, an infinite, personal Spirit, perfect in
holiness, wisdom, power, and love. He is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent, without
beginning or end.

God, the Son, Jesus Christ:  We believe Jesus Christ is God's eternal Son, and has
exactly the same nature, attributes, and perfections as God the Father and God the Holy Spirit.
lWe also believe that He is not only fully God, but fully man, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born
of the virgin Mary.

God, the Holy Spirit:  We believe in the Holy Spirit, His personality, and His work in
creation, inspiration of the Scriptures, and in our regeneration, sanctification, and preservation.
lWe believe at the time of salvation each believer is baptized by Christ through the Holy Spirit
into the body of Christ, sealed for eternity, and changed into a new person.

The Trinity:  We believe in one God, Creator, and Sustainer of all things, eternally existed in
three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; that these three are all equally and fully God, and
carry out distinct but harmonious functions in the work of creation, providence, and salvation.

Man:  We believe God created man, male and female, with a body, soul/spirit in the image of
God and free from sin. We also believe man is a sinner by nature and choice and is therefore
spiritually dead until he repents of his sin, trusts Christ personally as his Savior, and is
regenerated by the Holy Spirit.

Salvation:  We believe a person is saved by grace through personal faith in Jesus Christ.
lWe also believe this salvation lasts forever and is based upon the sovereign grace of God,
was purchased by the shed blood of Christ on the cross, and must be received individually
through faith in Christ apart from any human merit, works, or rituals.

The Church:  We believe the universal Church is a spiritual body of which Christ is the
Head. We believe the true Church is composed of all persons who through personal faith in
Jesus Christ have been made spiritually alive by the Holy Spirit and been forgiven of their sin.

Obedience and Christian Conduct:  We believe God's Word is to be the Christian's
guide for thoughts, actions, and attitudes and that God is the only true source for our ultimate
satisfaction and personal happiness.

The Family:  We believe God ordained the family as the foundational institution for the
physical, spiritual, and emotional growth of individuals, the church, and the society. It is to be
ideally led by a godly father and mother joined together in holy marriage. We believe God
indended for a man and woman to leave their parents and to become husband and wife,
intimate in body, soul/spirit, forming a sacred and lifelong commitment to each other.
