I. GOD
We believe there is one God, existing eternally in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and possessing the same attributes and perfections (Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; John 10:30; 2 Corinthians 13:14).

II. JESUS CHRIST
We believe that Jesus Christ is God (John 10:33). We believe in: his virgin birth (Isaiah 7:17; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:34-35); his sinless life (Hebrews 4:15; 7:26); his miracles (John 2:11); his vicarious and atoning death (I Corinthians 15:3; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 2:9); his resurrection (John 11:25; 1 Corinthians 15:4); his ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19); his personal return to earth in power and glory (Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11-16).

III. THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, dwells in every true believer (1 Corinthians 3:16; 2 Corinthians 6:16-17). We believe that the Holy Spirit regenerates and seals every believer, spiritually uniting them with one another (Ephesians 1:13; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Romans 8:9; Galatians 3:26-28). We believe the Holy Spirit enables the trusting, obedient believer to live a godly life (Romans 8:13-14; I Corinthians 3:16, 6:19-20; Ephesians 4:30, 5:18) and continues to endow believers with gifts for the purpose of building up the body for the common good, just as he wills (1 Corinthians 12:4-11).

Although there are may be many fillings of the Holy Spirit, there is only one baptism which occurs at the time of regeneration. God gives His gifts to His people through the administration of the Holy Spirit in His sovereignty and not on demand. The fruit of the Spirit is the manifestation of the Spirit-filled life which is focused and yielded to the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Cor 2:1-16; 12:7, 11, 13; Gal 5:22-23; Eph 4:7-12; 5:18).

IV. THE SCRIPTURES
We believe the Bible is the verbally inspired Word of God, without error and inerrant in the original manuscripts. We believe the Bible is the final and sufficient authority in faith and life (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:20; Psalm 19:7-9).

V. THE CONDITION OF MAN
We believe that both men & women were created in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:27), in innocence, and without sin. In Adam’s sin humanity fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became spiritually dead and alienated from God. We believe that, within himself, man is incapable of redeeming himself from his lost and depraved condition (Genesis 1:26; 3:1-24; Romans 3:10-18; 5:12; Ephesians 2:1-3).

VI. THE WORK OF CHRIST
We believe that God’s eternal Son, Jesus Christ, became fully man, without ceasing to be fully God, in order to reveal God and redeem sinful man. We believe Christ voluntarily offered himself as our sacrificial substitute on the cross, satisfying God’s righteous judgment against sin. We believe God’s only provision for our sin is Christ’s death on our behalf, and his resurrection, through which God reconciles us to himself (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 4:25; 2 Corinthians 5:21). We believe Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through him (John 14:6).

VII. SALVATION
We believe that salvation from the penalty of sin is a gift of God’s grace and cannot be gained by any work. All who repent of their sin and trust Christ as the crucified and risen Lord and Savior are forgiven of their sins and born into God’s family by the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit (John 3:16-19, Romans 3:23, 5:1-9; 10:8-9; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5).

VIII. ETERNAL SECURITY OF THE BELIEVER
The true believer is eternally secure and cannot lose his/her salvation, but that sin may interrupt the joy and assurance of his salvation and bring the loving discipline of his Heavenly Father. There may be times of doubt or discouragement, but once saved, the believer is forever secure in his/her salvation (John 5:24; 10:27-30; Heb 7:25; 12:5-11; Jude 24).

IX: SPIRITUAL GROWTH
It is the goal of every Christian to grow in spiritual maturity through obedience to the Word of God and the indwelling Spirit. One can never be content in being static, but must always seek to be growing and becoming more like Christ, imitating Him in all respects. This is the process of sanctification, perfect in position, progressive in practice. One will never reach the state of perfection until the day we are with Him “face to face.” Victory over sin comes through obedience to the Word of God and the deepening work of the gospel by the enabling work of the Spirit in one’s life (John17:17; Rom 6:1-22; 12:1-2; 2 Cor 3:18; 5:17; Gal 2:11-3:5; 5:25; Eph 4:22-24; Phil 2:12-13; 3:13-14; Col 1:6; 2:7-8; 1 Thess 4:3-4; 5:23; 1 Pet 1:14-16; 1 John 1:7-9).

X. THE CHURCH
We believe that the church, called in Scripture the Body of Christ, represents God to the world and is the vehicle through which the love of Christ is communicated. It is a spiritual organism and family, and every true believer is a member of his Body. We also believe that Scripture affirms the establishment and continuation of local churches, groups of Christian believers called together for worship, instruction, fellowship, and service (Ephesians 1:22-23; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Acts 2:42; 13:1).

XI. ETERNAL STATE
We believe that at the moment of death, the souls of all who trust in Christ for salvation immediately enter Christ’s presence, awaiting the resurrection of life. We believe that at death the souls of all who do not trust Christ for salvation immediately enter into conscious separation from God, awaiting the resurrection of condemnation, the eternal consequence of unbelief (Luke 16:19-26; 2 Corinthians 5:8; Philippians 1:23; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9; Revelation 20:11-15).
