THE WORD OF GOD - We believe the Bible is
the Word of God, fully inspired and without
error in the original manuscripts, written under
the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and that it
has supreme authority in all matters of faith
and conduct.
2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21; John 10:35;
1 Corinthians 2:12-13; Hebrews 1:1-2; Mark
12:36
THE TRINITY - We believe there is one
living and true God, eternally existing in three
persons: God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the
Holy Spirit.
Matthew 3:16-17; John 14:16-17; John 15:26;
Hebrews 9:14; 1 Corinthians 12:4-6;
Ephesians 2:13, 18
GOD THE FATHER - 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 men, that He hears and answers
prayer, and that He saves from sin and death all
who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
Mark 12:29; John 1:1-4; Matthew 28:19-20;
Acts 5:30-31; Hebrews 1:3; 2 Corinthians
13:14; Ephesians 1:17-20
JESUS CHRIST - We believe in Jesus
Christ, God's only begotten Son, conceived
by the Holy Spirit. 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
visible return to earth.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4; 2 Corinthians 5:19-20;
Hebrews 7:25-27; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18;
Revelation 20:4-6
THE HOLY SPIRIT - We believe in the Holy
Spirit who came forth from the Father and Son to
convict the world of sin, righteousness and
judgement, and to regenerate, sanctify and
empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. We
believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every
believer.
John 14:16-17; John 16:7-14; Romans 8:14,
16, 27; Ephesians 1:13-14
REGENERATION - We believe that all men
are sinners by nature and by choice and are,
therefore, under condemnation. We believe that
those who repent of their sins and trust in
Jesus Christ as Savior are regenerated by the
Holy Spirit.
Romans 3:19-20; Luke 13:1-5; Romans 10:8-13;
Ephesians 2:4-6; Romans 6:23; Titus 3:5-6
THE CHURCH - We believe in the universal
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 who associate for worship, work, and
fellowship. We believe that God has placed upon
the members of the local Church the task of
giving the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost
world.

24:46-49; Colossians 1:18; 1 Timothy 3:1-15;
Acts 1:7-8
SATAN - We acknowledge the existence of
Satan, who is also called the devil. He, with
his fallen angels who are also known as demons,
is in continual warfare with the workings of God
and His people and will continue this warfare
until his final doom.
Matthew 4:1-11; Matthew 25:31; Revelation
20:2,10
RESURRECTION - We believe in the bodily
resurrection of the saved and the lost; they
that are saved to a resurrection of life, and
they that are lost to a resurrection of
damnation.
1 Corinthians 15:21-23; 2 Thessalonians
1:7-10; Revelation 20:11-15
THE ORDINANCES - We believe that the Lord
Jesus Christ has committed two ordinances to the
local Church: baptism and the Lord’s
Supper. We believe that these two ordinances
should be observed and administered until the
return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 8:36-39; Luke
22:15-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-33
THE LAST THINGS - We believe in the
imminent personal and visible return of the Lord
Jesus Christ to earth and the establishment of
His kingdom.
Luke 17:26-30; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18;
2 Thessalonians 2:1-2; Malachi 4:1-3;
Daniel 12:1-3; Matthew 24:15-28; Isaiah
13:9-11; Revelation 1:4-7
MARRIAGE - We believe that marriage was
ordained by God at creation as a sacred union
between one man and one woman. We therefore
believe that all sexual relations must be
reserved for that sacred union and do not
acknowledge any other kind of union.
Genesis 1:26-28; Genesis 2:24; Matthew
19:1-19; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11; Ephesians
