1. We believe that the Bible, consisting of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, is the Word of God (1 Thessalonians 2:13).
2. We believe that it is verbally inspired in all of its parts and, therefore, it is without error as originally given by God (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20,21).
3. We believe that it is the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct (2 Timothy 3:16,17; Psalm 119:9,11).

B. The One True God

1. We believe that there is only one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19) existing eternally as three Persons – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (John 14:26; 15:26).
2. We believe that each of these Persons is God (Romans 1:7; 9:5; Acts 5:3,4).
3. We believe that each is perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, measureless in power and that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men.

1. We believe in the fatherhood of the First Person of the Trinity; that He is the Father of the Second Person in a unique way by eternal generation (2 Corinthians 1:3); and that He is the Father of all believers by the new birth (Galatians 3:26; John 1:12).

D. God the Son

1. We believe in His eternal pre-existence and deity (Micah 5:2; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1,14).
2. We believe in His first advent to earth, assuming a complete, sinless human nature by virgin conception and birth (Luke 1:26-2:7) and becoming the God-man.
3. We believe in His sinless human life (1 Peter 2:22; 1 John 3:5), His substitutionary death (I Peter 2:24; Romans 5:8), His bodily resurrection (Luke 24:5,6), His physical ascension into heaven (Acts 1:6-12), His present session at the Father’s right hand (Romans 8:34), His current work of building the church (Matthew 16:18), His return for His church (1 Thessalonians 4:13-17; 2 Thessalonians 2:1), and His second advent to earth to rule over the world for a thousand years (Revelation 19:11-16; 20:1-6).

E. God the Holy Spirit

1. We believe in His deity and personality (Acts 5:1-4; 13:2).
2. We believe in His work of restraining evil and of convicting the lost (John 16:8-11; 2 Thessalonians 2:6,7).
3. We believe in His work of regeneration (Titus 3:5), baptizing into Christ and His body (Acts 1:5; Galatians 3:27; 1 Corinthians 12:13), indwelling (1 Corinthians 6:19,20), and sealing (Ephesians 1:13; 4:30) all who receive Christ for their salvation.
4. We believe in His continuing work in each saved person of convicting (I John 3:20,24), sanctifying (2 Corinthians 3:18), teaching (1 John 2:27), guiding (Romans 8:14), imparting gifts (1 Corinthians 12:4-11), filling (Acts 4:31; Ephesians 5:18), and enabling (John 14:16,17; Galatians 5:25).

F. Man

1. We believe that the first man and woman were directly created by God into the divine image apart from any organic evolutionary process (Genesis 1:27; 2:7,21,22).
2. We believe that Adam and Eve sinned against God and brought upon themselves and their posterity spiritual and physical death (Genesis 2:16,17; 3:1-19; 5:5; Romans 5:12).
3. We believe that all of mankind, being Adam’s posterity, are sinners by nature (Romans 5:19) and by practice (Romans 3:9-12) and are justly condemned by God (Romans 5:18; 3:19; John 3:18).

1. We believe that God, motivated by his love and grace, has fully met the demands of His holiness on behalf of sinners and has done all that is necessary for their salvation by giving His Son to pay man’s debt of sin and by raising Him from the dead (John 3:16; Romans 6:23; 5:8; 1 Peter 2:24; Hebrews 9:26; John 1:29).
2. We believe that on the basis of Christ’s death and resurrection God is freely and righteously able to save everyone who repents and trusts Christ and His substitutionary work on the cross (John 3:16; 1:12; Acts 17:30).

H. Salvation

1. We believe that salvation, which is deliverance from sin’s penalty, power, and ruin, can neither be earned by human merit nor produced by human works; that it is the gracious gift of God to all who receive the Savior (Ephesians 2:8,9; Romans 6:23).
2. We believe that salvation brings the believer into a right relation with God (John 17:3) and bestows upon him the riches of God’s grace (Ephesians 1:3) including forgiveness of sin (Acts 10:43), eternal life (John 5:24), and membership in God’s family and kingdom (John 1:12; 3:3; Colossians 1:13).
3. We believe that all who are saved are divinely kept until they experience the redemption of their bodies from the power of sin and death at Christ’s return (Ephesians 4:30; Romans 8:10,11,23; Philippians 3:20,21).

I. The Church

1. We believe in the universal church of Christ, which is that company of people who from Pentecost unto the rapture are saved and are baptized with the Holy Spirit into Christ (Matt. 16:18; Eph. 1:22; Acts 1:5; 11:15,16); that this church presently functions as Christ’s body (Ephesians 1:22,23; 1 Corinthians 12:27) and in the future will function as His bride (Ephesians 5:32; Revelation 19:7).
2. We believe in the local church, which is that company of saved, baptized people who assemble regularly to worship God (Acts 13:2), to observe the Lord’s Supper (Acts 2:42), to fellowship together in the Word and in prayer (Acts 2:42), to edify one another  (1 Thessalonians 5:11), to exercise discipline (Matthew 18:15-20), and to exercise their spiritual gifts (Acts 13:1); who do good works (Acts 11:27-30); who bear witness to the gospel at home and abroad (1 Thessalonians 1:8; Philippians 4:10-18); and who look for Christ’s return (1 Thessalonians 1:10).

J. Ordinances

1. We believe that every saved person, who is physically able, should give himself to water immersion in obedience to the Lord’s command (Matthew 28:19,20).
2. We believe that every believer should regularly observe the Lord’s Supper in obedience to the Lord’s command as he is able (Luke 22:19,20).
