We believe that there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons, that these are equal in every divine perfection, and that they execute distinct but harmonious offices in the work of creation, providence and redemption.

Matt. 28:19; Ephesians 4; I John 5:7; Matthew 3:16-17; II Corinthians 13:14)

We believe in God, the Father, an infinite, personal spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love. We believe that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of all people, that He hears and answers prayer, and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.

Psalm 90:2 Genesis 1:1, 26, 27 Matthew 28:19

We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit, fully man and fully God. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles and teachings. We believe in His substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people, and personal visible return to earth.

I Tim. 2:5,6; Gal. 1:6-9; Phil. 2:9-11

We believe in the Holy Spirit who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify, and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Christ, and that He is an abiding helper, teacher and guide. We believe that the Holy Spirit empowers the church to carry out the mission of God through the working of different gifts.

Acts 1:8 John 14:16-17, John 16:7-13 Galatians 5:25 Ephesians 1:13 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16 1 Cor. 12:1-11

We believe that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. We believe that all people are sinners by nature and by choice and are, therefore, under condemnation. We believe that the Holy Spirit is at work continuously transforming toward the likeness of Christ those who repent of their sins and trust in Jesus Christ as Savior. We believe that in truly placing one’s faith in Christ, a person becomes a new creation, wholly cleansed of sins past, present, and future, and enters into this work of the Holy Spirit to become more and more a living representation of Christ.

John 3:5-8; Heb.10: 19-25; Gal. 2:20

We believe in the universal church (the “big C church”), a living spiritual body of which Christ is the head and all regenerated persons are members. We believe in the local church, consisting of a company of believers in Jesus Christ, baptized on a credible profession of faith, and associated for worship, work and fellowship. We believe that God has laid upon the members of the local church the primary task of giving the gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost world.

1 Cor. 12:12-31, Matt. 28:18-20

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has committed two ordinances to the local church: baptism and the Lord’s Supper. We believe that Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water into the name of the triune God. We believe that the Lord’s Supper was instituted by Christ for commemoration of His death. We believe that these two ordinances should be observed and administered until the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 11:23-26, Luke 22:14 -20, Mathew 28:19, Acts 2:38

We believe in the personal and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth and the establishment of His kingdom. We believe in the resurrection of the body, the judgment of the just and the unjust, and the fulfillment of Christ’s kingdom in the new heavens and the new earth.

Rev. 21:1-5; Rev. 20:7-15

We believe God is merciful and just. We believe, therefore, that we should share his concern for justice and reconciliation throughout human society and for the liberation of men and women from every kind of oppression. We believe that because men and women are made in the image of God, every person, regardless of race, religion, color, sexual orientation, culture, class, sex or age, has an intrinsic dignity because of which he or she should be respected and served, not exploited. We believe that our love for God and neighbor should lead to fighting for the oppressed, alienated and discriminated. We believe we are to love others as we have been loved from our sin and bondage and now we are free.

Micah 6:8

We believe culture is beautiful and an expression of what it means to be created in the image of a creative God. We believe culture is rich and good, and yet because man is a sinner, culture is inevitably influenced by brokenness. But we believe that because we as his people are redeemed by God, our cultures can be received, rethought, redeemed and, at the last, the pieces that are ungodly should be rejected. We believe that no culture is superior; every culture should be seen, understood, and evaluated in the light of the gospel. We believe through the gospel is how every culture should be embraced.

Cor 9:19-23
