Core Beliefs:

Bible: All scripture, the 66 canonical books of the Old & New Testament, are the inspired word of God, without error, revealed for the salvation of man, and therefore, the complete source and guide for faith, doctrine, and life.

God: We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ: We believe that Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary, and is true and fully God and true and fully man.

Humankind: We believe that man and woman were created in the image of God, that they sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death which is separation from God, and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and are guilty of sin in thought, word, and deed.

Sacrifice: We believe that the Lord Jesus died for our sins according to the scriptures as the representative and substitutionary sacrifice; that He rose victorious from the grave on the third day; and that all who believe (trust) in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood and atoning sacrifice.

Faith: We believe that all who come by grace through faith to accept the Lord Jesus Christ are regenerated (re-born spiritually) and justified by the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.

Resurrection: We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting joy of the regenerated (saved) and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost.

Holy Spirit: We believe that all Christ-followers are baptized (indwelt and sealed) by the Holy Spirit at conversion - when they are regenerated and justified.

Ordinances (Lord's Supper/Baptism): We believe that those who partake of the Lord's Supper should be true believers, walking in fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that water baptism is a covenant sign and seal for the professed believer and their children in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Meeting: We believe that as Christ-followers, we are to meet together regularly for worship, ordinances, biblical instruction, and the encouragement of each other.

Return: We believe in the personal and imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
