GOD

We believe in the triune Godhead as eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (2 Corinthians 13:14)

We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His present priestly ministry.  (Romans 1:4, Matthew 1:18, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Matthew 4:23-24, Romans 3:25:26, 1 John 1:7, Hebrews 7:25)

We believe in Christ’s imminent personal return in power and great glory, and in His present and everlasting dominion. (Acts 1:11, Revelation 1:7, Daniel 7:14)

THE WORD

We believe the Bible to be divinely inspired by God, in its inerrancy, and that it serves as the first and final authoritative Word of God in all matters pertaining to doctrine and conduct. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

SALVATION

We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. We further believe in the keeping power of God. (Hebrews 9:22; Jude 24-25, Titus 3:5)

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved unto eternal life and that they are lost unto eternal punishment. (John 5:28-29; Revelation 20:15)

SACRAMENTS

We believe that water baptism is for believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and is to be administered by full immersion, thus bearing witness to the gospel of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection for us, and our own new life in Him. (Matthew 28:19, Romans 6:4)

We believe that communion, when shared by believers, witnesses to the saving power of the gospel, to Christ’s presence in His church, and looks forward to His victorious return. (1 Corinthians 11:23–26)

CHRISTIAN LIVING

We believe in evangelistic and missionary fervor and endeavor. (Acts 1:8; Mark 16:15–18)

We believe in the sanctification and holiness of heart and the overcoming life as God's design for the church, which is the Bride of Christ. (Ephesians 5:25–27)

We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit as on the day of Pentecost and in the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit as evidenced in charismatic gifts and ministries, and in the fruit of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer. (Acts 2:4, Acts10:46, Acts 19:6, Ephesians 4:11, 1 Corinthians 12:8–11, Galatians 5:22-23)

We believe that divine healing is obtained on the basis of the Atonement. (1 Peter 2:24; Matthew 8:17)

We believe that since mankind is created in God’s image, human life is of inestimable worth and significance in all its dimensions, from conception to the grave. (Genesis 1:27; Psalm 139:13–14)

We believe that sexual purity is a necessary expression for all of God’s children and requires abstinence from adultery, fornication, incest, homosexuality, and other sexual relationships or practices forbidden by Scripture. (Hebrews 13:4, 1 Corinthians 6:18, Leviticus 18:1–30, Galatians 5:19)

We believe that marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime, and a sacred institution established by God. (Matthew 19:4–6)

We believe that as ordained by God there are only two uniquely designed genders that all of humankind falls into. Namely that of male and female. (Genesis 1:27) 

We believe that it is the duty and privilege of every believer to, within his or her ability, support the local assembly with his or her regular presence, giving, and service. (Hebrews 10:25, 1 Peter 4:10)

We believe that tithing, accompanied by free-will offerings, is God’s ordained method to finance the spreading of the Gospel and the needs of the local assembly. (Malachi 3:8–12)

Denominational Association

As a local church we acknowledge that we are stronger in life and ministry when we actively practice both accountability and association.
