We believe in one God in three persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 5:16, 45; 6:1, 4, 8, 9; James 1:17; John 1:1; 14:9; Genesis 1:2; John 4:24; 14:16-20; 2 Peter 1:21)

We believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of all things visible and invisible (Genesis 1:1; Acts 17:24-28; 2 Peter 3:18)

We believe in Jesus of Nazareth, both fully human and fully divine, conceived of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary

* Who suffered and was crucified under Pontius Pilate

* Who died and was buried, and who rose again bodily from the dead on the third day.

* Who ascended into heaven and now sits at the right hand of the Father.

* And who will judge both the living and the dead.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, who is an active and operative part of the triune God and who indwells every Christian. (John 16:5-15; Acts 1:7-8; Romans 8: 26-27; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:19; 2 Timothy 1:14)

We believe in the Bible as God’s Holy Word, Scripture. We believe God inspired the autographs (original writings) of the Scripture, and those autographs were without error. (Mark 12:36; John 14:26; 16:12-15; Acts 1:16; 1 Corinthians 2:12-13; 2 Timothy 3:14-16; 2 Peter 1:20-21)

We believe and accept the Bible as the final authority for all matters of faith and practice. (Isaiah 40:8; Matthew 5:18; 24:35; Romans 15:4; Hebrews 4:12)

We believe that the Bible teaches that man, created by God, willfully sinned against God, and is consequently lost and without hope apart from Jesus Christ. (Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23)

We believe that the Bible teaches that salvation and the forgiveness of sins is achieved only by grace through the blood of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 26:28; Romans 5:9; Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 Peter 1:18-19; 1 John 1:7)

We believe that the Bible teaches that one receives God’s grace by putting faith in Christ, repenting of sin, confessing Christ, and being immersed into Christ, but that none of these is sufficient in and of itself for the assurance of salvation. (Romans 5:1-2; Luke 24:45-47; Acts 3:19; 17:30; 2 Peter 3:9; Matthew 10:32; Romans 10:9; Philippians 2:11; 1 John 4:15; Acts 2:38; Romans 6:1-7; Galatians 3:27; Colossians 2:13-14; 1 Peter 3:21)

We believe in the Church of Jesus Christ, founded on the Day of Pentecost and consisting of all Christians everywhere. (Matthew 16:13-18; Acts 2:14-47)

We believe that the Bible teaches that the Elders are to exercise authority over the local congregation. (Acts 20:28; Philippians 1:1; 1 Tim. 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9; 1 Peter 5:1-4)

We believe that the church is the body of Christ on earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit and exists to evangelize the lost and edify the saved. (Ephesians 4:1-16)

We believe that marriage is a sacred bond, created by God, to unite one biological male and one biological female. (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:5, Ephesians 5:31, 1 Timothy 1:8-11, Hebrews 13:4)

We believe that ministers who are responsible for teaching the assembled body of Christ, and Elders (due to their teaching responsibility), must be male. (1 Timothy 2:12; 3:2)

We believe that both women and men may function as Deacons and lead in small group settings. Women are able to function as teachers and leaders of groups of women of any size. (Romans 16:1, Titus 2:3-5)

Love Him - Love the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength (Matthew 22:37-40)

Serve Them - Serve others through an attitude of sacrificial humility as modeled in the incarnation of Jesus Christ (Philippians 2:3-4)

Disciple All - Make disciples of all nations by carrying out the Great Commission under the direction of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:18-20)
