1 The Holy Scriptures (2 Tim. 3:16-17)

We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible Word of God.

2 The Eternal Godhead (1 John 5:7)

We believe God is triune: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Three in one.

3 The Fall of Man (Romans 5:12)

We believe that sin, and subsequently, death entered the world through Adam, and that sin spread to humanity because all sinned. (Romans 5:12)

4 The Basis of Salvation (John 3:16, Rom. 5:8, Rom. 10:9-10)

We believe that all have sinned, but that Christ was sent as a sacrifice for us, opening the door of salvation to all who believe and confess Jesus Christ as Lord, and believe that God raised Him from the dead.

5 Salvation Through Grace (Ephesians 2:8)

We believe that salvation is by God's grace toward us, through our faith in Jesus. Salvation is not attainable by our good works.

6 Repentance and Forgiveness (1 John 1:9)

We believe that forgiveness of sin is available to all through repentance.

7 Water Baptism (Matthew 28:19 and Romans 6:4)

We believe that water baptism by immersion in water is an outward sign of the inward work of salvation and is intended to put to death the old, sinful nature.

8 The Lord's Supper (1 Cor. 11:28)

We believe in the commemoration of the Lord's Supper by the symbolic use of bread and the juice of the vine.

9 The Baptism of the Holy spirit (Acts 1:8)

We believe that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is available to all believers today, as it was in the early church.

10 The Gifts and Fruit of the Spirit (1 Cor. 12:1-11, Gal 5:22-23, Rom. 12:6-8)

We believe that the Holy Spirit has gifts to bestow upon the Christian, and that we should display the Fruit of the Spirit as evidence of a Spirit-filled life.

11 The Second Coming (1 Thes. 4:16-17)

We believe in the literal second coming of Christ.

12 The Final Judgment (2 Co. 5:10, Rev. 20:11-13)

We believe that all shall stand one day before God in final judgment.

13 Heaven and Hell (Jn.14:2, Rev. 7:15-17, Rev. 20:10 + 15)

We believe that heaven and hell are literal places. Heaven being a place of eternal presence with God, hell being a place of eternal separation from God.

14 Giving (Luke 6:38, Matthew 25)

Jesus said in Luke 6:38, "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you." We believe that Jesus encourages us to live a lifestyle of giving, and that as we are faithful with what God has given us, He will give us more to be faithful with. (Matthew 25)
