1. We believe that the bible is the inspired Word of God.  It is reliable and without error in all its teaching, and is the final authority for faith and practice.

2. We believe in one God, Creator and Sustainer of the universe, who eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

3. We believe that Jesus Christ is God's Son, who being fully God became fully man, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed many miracles, died on the cross for the sins of the world, was physically raised from the dead, is reigning with God at His right hand and continually interceding on behalf of His people, and will personally come again to gather those who have been faithful.

4. We believe that sin is very real in the world and all people suffer from its consequences.  We also believe that all people have ruined their relationship with God by sinning against Him.  Therefore, all people deserve just punish for their rebellion.

5. We believe that satan and his helpers are real and work hard at trying to lead people away from God.  We believe that Satan's power has ultimately been defeated by Jesus Christ, and when Jesus returns, Satan will be eternally punished for his rebellion against God.

6. We believe that we are saved from the punishment for our sins by God's free gift of grace given to those who believe that Jesus Christ is Savior of their sins and Lord over their life, confess and repent of their sins, and are baptized.


7. We believe in the Holy Spirit who glorifies Jesus Christ, works in all people to bring them to faith and obedience, and dwells in believers equipping and empowering them for lives of holy living and fruitful service.


8. We believe that we need to pursue a holy lifestyle of love, purity, and obedience after we become a Christian in order to maintain a proper relationship with Christ.

9. We believe that all Christians are to be Christian examples and witnesses in their families, jobs, and communities.

10. We believe that all Christians are to discover and use their God given gifts for ministry in their homes, churches, and communities.

11. We believe that the Church, of which Jesus Christ is the Head, consists of all believers and exists to worship God and to continue Christ's mission of making disciples and bringing hope, healing, and justice to all of society.   We believe that all Christians need to be a part of a local Church for their spiritual well-being.

12. We believe that all people will be physically resurrected form the dead when Jesus returns.  Those that have believed and obeyed Jesus Christ will go to Heaven, eternally dwelling in the presence of God and Jesus.  Those who did not believe or did not obey Jesus Christ will go to eternal punishment in Hell.

13. We believe that all people are made in the image of God which makes human kind unique from the rest of creation.  Therefore, we believe in the equality and essential dignity of men and women of all races, ages (including the pre-born), and classes.

14. We believe in the family, celibate singleness, and faithful heterosexual marriage as the patterns God designed for us.
