We believe in one God Who eternally exists as three distinct persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Matthew 5:16 & 6:1,4,8,9, John 1:1; 14:9, Genesis 1:2, John 4:24, 14:16-20, 2 Peter 1:21)

We believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of all things visible and invisible (Genesis 1:1, Acts 17:24-28, Hebrews 11:3)

We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s one and only Son, my one and only Savior (John 1:14, 1 John 4:9, John 3:16, 2 Peter 3:18)

  • Who was born Jesus of Nazareth, both fully human and fully divine, conceived of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary (Matthew 21:11, John 19:19, John 1:14, Romans 5:15-17, Colossians 2:9, 1 John 1:1, Matthew 1:18, Luke 1:26-38)
  • Who suffered and was crucified under the Roman governor of Judea, Pontius Pilate (Luke 23:1-46)
  • Who died and was buried, and Who rose again bodily from the dead on the 3rd day (Luke 23:44-24:8, John 20:24-29, 1 Corinthians 15:3-8)
  • Who ascended into heaven and now sits at the right hand of God, the Father (Luke 22:69, Acts 1:1-9, Colossians 3:1)
  • Who will return to earth to judge both the living and the dead (Matthew 24:36-42, John 14:1-3, Acts 1:10-11 & 10:39-42, 1 Peter 4:5)

We believe in the Holy Spirit

  • Who is an active and operative part of the fortune God (John 16:5-15, Acts 1:7-8, Romans 8:26-27)
  • Who indwells every Christian (1 Corinthians 3:16 & 6:19, 2 Timothy 1:14)

We believe in the Bible – God’s Holy Word, Scripture. We believe God inspired the autographs (original writings) of the Scripture and those autographs were consequently without error (Mark 12:36, John 14:26 & 16:12-15, Acts1:16, 1 Corinthians 2:12-13, 2 Timothy 3:14-16, 2 Peter 1:20-21)

  • We accept the Bible as the final authority for all matters of faith and patience (Isaiah 40:8, Matthew 5:18 & 24:35, Romans 15:4, Hebrews 4:12)
  • We believe the Bible teaches that man, created by God, willfully sinned against God and is consequently lost and without hope apart from Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12, Romans 3:23)
  • We also believe that Scripture teaches us what sin is (1 John 3:4, Galatians 5:19-21, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10) and that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23)

We believe the Bible teaches that salvation – the forgiveness of sins – is only by grace through the blood of Jesus Christ (Matthew 26:28, Romans 5:9, Ephesians 2:8-9, 1 Peter 1:18-19, 1 John 1:7)

  • We believe the Bible teaches that one receives God’s grace by putting faith in Christ, repenting of sin, confessing Christ and being immersed into Christ (Romans 5:1-2, Luke 24:45-47, Acts 3:19, Acts 17:30, 2 Peter 3:9, Matthew 10:32, Romans 10:9, Philippians 2:11, 1 John 4:15, Acts 2:38, Romans 6:1-7, Galatians 3:27, Colossians 2:12, 1 Peter 3:21)

We believe in the Church of Jesus Christ, founded on the Day of Pentecost and consisting of all Christians everywhere (Matthew 16:13-18, Acts 2:14-47)

We believe the Bible teaches that the Elders are to exercise authority over the local congregation (Acts 20:28, Philippians 1:1, 1 Timothy 3:1-7, Titus 1:5-9, 1 Peter 5:1-4)

We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female.  These two distinct, complementary sexes together reflect the image and nature of God (Genesis 1:26-27). Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person.

We believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman, as delineated in Scripture (Genesis 2:18-25). And we agree with the teachings on marriage found in 1 Corinthians 7.

We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ, His Son (Acts 3:19-21, Romans 10:9-10, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11)

We believe that every person is made in God’s image and deserving of compassion, love, kindness, respect and dignity (Mark 12:28-31, Luke 6:31, 1 John 4:20) Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed to any individual are to be repudiated and are not in accord with the Holy Scriptures.

We believe that, although we love those who are in sin, we must not condone or assist them in committing or continuing in their sin (1 Timothy 5:22, 2 John 1:10-11, Ephesians 5:11, James 4:17)

Lastly, if possible, so far as it depends on us, we seek to be at peace with all people. (Romans 12:18)
