The Bible
We believe that the 66 books of the Bible are God’s revelation to man. They are the very word of God, without error. The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and infallible word of God. It is our privilege as Christians to read, study, honor and share God’s holy word in order to be ambassadors of his love.
Psalm 19:7-14; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21; 1 Thessalonians 2:13
The Triune God
We believe there is only one God, eternally existing in three equally divine Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We believe God the Father is the creator and sustainer of all things. He is infinitely good, perfectly holy, and boundless in his love. He is a loving Father, always available to those who, through faith in Christ, call upon him in truth. God the Son, Jesus Christ, was fully human, he did not inherit a sin nature, being virgin born. Jesus Christ suffered and died on the cross, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God. His resurrection was real, bodily, and a complete triumph over sin and death. Jesus Christ is Head of his church and continues to exercise his offices of prophet, priest, and king through godly human leadership. Jesus Christ is now seated at the right hand of the Father on high and one day will return in glory and honor to rescue the righteous and judge the world. We believe that God the Spirit was sent by the Father and the Son to glorify Jesus Christ. He convicts the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment. He regenerates spiritually dead sinners through the Gospel, awakening them to repentance and faith. In him, they are baptized into union with Christ and his body, the Church. God the Spirit indwells and fills each Christ-follower for godly living and is the seal of their promised inheritance.

Salvation
Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in the promises of God concerning the work of Christ alone. All who repent of their sins and place their faith in God the Son are brought from death into life, adopted into God’s family, indwelt by God the Spirit, and kept by God the Father eternally.
