That all Scripture (both the Old and New Testaments) is inspired by God, literally the God-breathed Word, and as such, it is perfect in its original writing. The Scriptures contain the complete ongoing revelation of God’s will and plan for salvation. They are intended to teach, guide, correct and nourish the believer, and represent the final, divine judge and authority for all Christian faith and life. (2 Tim 3:16, Heb 4:12, 1 Pet 2:1-3, 2 Pet 1:20-21)

In one God, Maker of all things, perfect in every way, without beginning or end, and existing in three Persons         (The Trinity) : Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Gen 1:1, 26; Ps 90:1-2, Jn 6:27, Acts 5:3-4, Acts 17: 24-28, Heb 1:8)

That Jesus Christ is both true God and true Man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross to provide forgiveness for sins according to the Scriptures. He rose from the dead and then was taken into heaven where He sits at the Father’s right hand. (Jn 1:1-3, 14; Luke 1:26-37; Rom 6:23; 1 Cor 15:3-4; 1 Tim 2:5; Heb 4:14-16)

That the work of the Holy Spirit is to glorify God by helping Christians in their daily life. The Spirit serves to bring power to the message of Christ, aid in prayers, provides wisdom, shows the believer their sins, and provides blessings and spiritual gifts to believers for service and godly life. The Holy Spirit enters into our lives at the time we accept Christ and works the changes God desires for us from within. (Jn 14:16, 26; Acts 1:8; Rom 8:16, 26-27; 1 Cor 2:4, 10-16; 1 Cor 12; Eph 1:13-14)

Man was created by God in His image, but man chose to sin and ended the relationship God desired to have with us, leaving us spiritually dead. As a result, all human beings are born “dead in trespasses and sins, with a sinful nature and under the just condemnation of God.” (Gen 1:26, Rom 5:12, 17-18; 1 Cor 15:22; Eph 2:1-10)

God has provided a way for our relationship with Him to be restored by sending Jesus Christ to bear the penalty for our sins by dying on the cross. The saving work of Jesus is the only means for a person to become “right” with God. Only those who trust in Jesus Christ by faith are “re-born” by His Spirit and become God’s children (Jn 3:3-6, 14:6; Rom 10:9-10; 2 Cor 5:21)

Water baptism is a celebration of a person’s acceptance of Jesus into their life. The Lord’s Supper has been given to us by Jesus as a way to remember His life and death. Both of these celebrations are to be observed by the Church but do not themselves save people. (Acts 10:47, 16:30-31; 1 Cor 11:17-26)

That God created man (Adam) and woman (Eve) in His image...equal in value, but different and complementary in gender and roles. God created marriage to be a covenantal union of one man and one woman, and does not therefore recognize same-sex marriage unions. Homosexuality is incompatible with God's Word and heart and is sin in His eyes. (Genesis 1:27, 2:18-25; Matthew 19:4-5; Romans 1:24-27; Leviticus 18:22; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11

God’s Church includes everyone who has come to a full acceptance of Jesus’ rightful place as King of their lives and have been baptized by the Holy Spirit. (Eph 2:19-20, 4:11-14; 1 Pet 2:9-10)

Jesus Christ is the Lord and Head of the Church and every local church has the right under Christ to decide and govern its own affairs. The Church’s mission is to share the Gospel message and help believers grow and glorify the Lord. (Mat 28:18-20, Acts 1:8, Eph 4:15-16)

The second coming of Christ is the hope of the Church and will be personal, bodily, visible, and usher in His one-thousand year earthly kingdom. (Mat 24:3-31; 1 Thes 4:13-18, 5:1-11)

All people will one day be raised from the dead to be judged by God. Those who have made Jesus their King will then spend eternity with the Lord in heaven, those who have not believed in Christ will face everlasting punishment and separation from God. (1 Cor 15:40-58; Phil 1:23; 1 Thes 4:13-15; Luke 16:23; Rev 20:11-15)
