We believe that ...
- The Bible is God's divinely inspired Word given to us.
- God exists eternally in the person of the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
- God is the one and only creator of the universe and that he spoke it into existence, needing nothing else but his command.
- God, by his decision and out of his love for us, sent Jesus Christ into the world to redeem us from sin and to offer us salvation.
- Jesus continues to this day to sit at the Father's right hand, interceding on behalf of repentant sinners and waits for the day when he will come again to receive those who have called upon his name.
- The Holy Spirit is a living person who comforts, convicts, and counsels believers in their walk of faith.
- Salvation is a gift of God, freely offered to all men by the grace of God. It can neither be earned nor deserved by any actions we may initiate or things that we may offer.
- Since we are saved by God's grace we, in faith, show our obedience through our repentance (the outward & inward life-change), our confession of our complete need for his forgiveness, our baptism by immersion, and our continued commitment to a Christian life, led by the Holy Spirit.
- The goal of each Christian should be to live a life of obedience to the Word of God and to the Spirit always seeking to grow to maturity in Christ.
