We all come from different backgrounds.  We all have a slightly different view of the world around us, but theses truths should unite us.  These beliefs are what make us uniquely Christian, and they are essential.

The Holy Scriptures

We believe the Bible is God's written revelation to man and is sufficient for life and godliness.  All scripture is God-breathed in every word and is therefore perfect, pure, true, complete and our final authority.  (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:3-4; Psalm 19:7-9)

God

We believe there is only one living and true God, Creator and sustainer of all things, perfect in all His attributes, existing in one nature and three Persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - each co-equal and co-eternal.  (Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 45:5-7; John 14:26)

• God the Father:  We believe in God the Father, the first Person of the Trinity, is sovereign ruler of all things and author of the plan of redemption.  (Matthew 23:9; Psalm 103:19; John 3:16-17; Ephesians 1:3-6; 1 Peter 1:2-5)

• Jesus Christ:  We believe Jesus Christ, the second Person of the Trinity, is God incarnate, being born of a virgin - fully God and fully man.  He accomplished the plan of redemption through His sinless life, His sin-bearing death and His sin-conquering resurrection.  He ascended to the Father.  He lives to mediate between God and man.  He will return to judge all mankind and reign over His kingdom.  (Matthew 1:18-23; Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 7:25-26; 1 Peter 2:24; Acts 1:9-11; Revelations 20-21)

• Holy Spirit:  We believe the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, is the agent of the plan of redemption.  He regenerates, indwells, sanctifies, instructs, empowers and seals all believers.  (John 16:12-15; Ephesians 1:13-14; 1 Corinthians 12:13)

Man

We believe man was created by God in His image and likeness to live in perfect fellowship with his creator.  By Adam's sin, this fellowship was broken bringing the penalty of physical death and spiritual separation from God to all mankind.  Therefore, all men are sinners.  (Genesis 1:26-27; 3:23-24; Romans 3:23; 6:23; 1 Corinthians 15:21-22)

Salvation

We believe man's salvation is accomplished solely by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ's redemptive work on the cross.  At the cross, God exchanges the believer's sin and condemnation for Christ's righteousness.  Having confessed and repented of sin, believers are to be baptized, representing our union in Christ.  (Ephesians 2:8-10; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 2:24; Romans 10:9-10; 6:4-5)

The Church

We believe Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church - His Body.  The Church is called to bring glory to her Savior by fulfilling the Great Command to love God and one another, and the Great Commission to make disciples and proclaim the gospel to the ends of the earth.  (Colossians 1:18; Matthew 22:36-40; Matthew 28:18-20)
