We believe that the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God and that men were moved by the Spirit of God to write the very words of Scripture. It alone is the final authority in determining all doctrinal trusts. We believe the Bible is without error.
2 Timothy 3:16–17, 2 Peter 1:20–21, Psalm 19:7
We believe in one personal God who exists eternally in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, equal in power, authority and glory. The doctrine of God's Triune nature is called the Trinity.
Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14
We believe Jesus Christ to be the virgin born Son of God who lived in flesh as 100% God and 100% man. He died for the sins of the world, was buried, rose again bodily, and ascended to the Father. He is the only man to ever have lived a sinless life.
John 1:14, 1 Corinthians 15:3–4, Acts 1:9
We believe in the Holy Spirit who regenerates and indwells every believer in Jesus, assures us of our salvation, guides us into all truth, glorifies Jesus and convicts of sin, righteousness and judgment. He comforts us, gives us spiritual gifts, and empowers us for service.
John 16:7–14, Romans 8:9–11, 1 Corinthians 12:4–7
We believe that all people were created in the image of God to have fellowship with him but became alienated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, people are incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through their own efforts.
Genesis 1:26–27, Romans 3:23, Ephesians 2:1–3
We believe that God is the author of marriage and that He ordained and defined it clearly in Scripture. Marriage is described in the story of creation and affirmed by Jesus and is designed by God to be a covenantal, lifelong, exclusive relationship between one man and one woman. The Bible teaches that God’s ideal for marriage is oneness at every level, centered around the couple’s faith in Jesus. The marriage covenant is intended to be a beautiful reflection of God’s covenant with His people and a picture of the Gospel.
Genesis 2:24, Mark 10:6–9, Ephesians 5:31–32
We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the only way for the forgiveness of sin. God freely offers salvation to those who place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin. Salvation cannot be earned, it is a gift from God.
Ephesians 2:8–9, Romans 5:8–9, John 14:6
The Church is the local and global community of believers who acknowledge Jesus as their Savior. The Church is not a location, religious institution, or event. The Church is the body of Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and made up of born-again believers who carry the devine mission of spreading the Gospel of Jesus to the whole world.
Colossians 1:18, 1 Corinthians 12:27, Matthew 28:19–20
Jesus Christ will physically and visibly return to Earth to establish His Kingdom. We believe in the resurrection of the body and the final judgment. We believe that our eternal destination of either heaven or hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 4:16–17, John 5:28–29, Revelation 20:11–15
