The Scriptures
We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the inspired word of God, the final authority for faith and life, inerrant in the original writings, infallible, and God- breathed (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Matthew 4:4, Matthew 5:18; John 16:12-13).
The Godhead
We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit— co-eternal in being, co-eternal in nature, co-equal in power and glory, having the same attributes and perfections (Deuteronomy 6:4; 2 Corinthians 13:14, Ephesians 4:4-6).
The Person and Work of Christ
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man (John 1:1–2, 14; Luke 1:35; Colossians 1:15-20).
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice, and that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead (Romans 3:21-25; 1 Peter 2:24; Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:3– 5). We believe Jesus is coming again to judge the living and the dead (1 Peter 4:5; Romans 14:9; 2 Timothy 4:1).
The Person and Work of The Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is a person who convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; He is the Supernatural Agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ, indwelling and sealing them unto the day of redemption (John 16:8–11; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 12:12–14; 2 Corinthians 3:6; Ephesians 5:18).
The Nature of Man
We believe that man was created with great dignity in the image and likeness of God, but that through Adam’s sin the race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God; although man retains his divine image, man is by nature sinful and of himself utterly unable to remedy his lost condition (Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:22-23; 5:12; Galatians 2:16; Ephesians 2:1–3, 12).
Salvation
We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins (Ephesians 2:8–10; John 1:12; Romans 8:1-2; Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:18–19).
The Church
We believe that the Church, which is the body and espoused bride of Christ, is a spiritual organism made up of all born-again persons. We believe the Church is built upon the authority of the scriptures, which guide, inform, and govern the life and activities of God’s people (Ephesians 1:22-23; 5:25–27; 1 Corinthians 12:12–14; 2 Corinthians 11:2, Titus 2:11-15).

Additional Convictions
We believe in the sanctity of marriage within The Church, as it is clearly and exclusively defined in scripture, as a sacred union between a man and a woman (Genesis 1:27-28, Genesis 2:21-25, 1 Corinthians 7:2, Hebrews 13:4).
We believe that abortion is an attack upon the divine image of God instilled in every person from the moment of conception, and therefore immoral (Genesis 1:27, Psalm 139:13-16).
We believe that racism is the grievous sin of partiality against the image of God imprinted in every person, and that God’s intention is to fill His Church with people from every tribe, tongue, nation, and ethnicity, unified by an unbreakable bond of love for Christ our King (James 2:1, Galatians 3:27-29, Revelation 7:9-10).
We believe God made people male and female and that sex and gender are synonymous God-ordained, and God-given categories, not based on human autonomy (Genesis 1:27, Psalm 139:13-14, Isaiah 43:1a, Jeremiah 1:5a).
We reject Critical Race Theory as a worldview and do not believe it adds anything to the perfect wisdom already contained in the Christian Scriptures (Psalm 19:7-11, Psalm 119:9-16).
