1. We believe that there is one, and only one, true and living God. He externally exists in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. (John 5:32-37; John 10:30,36; John 14:16-26; Phil. 2:6; Isa. 48:16)

2. We believe in the Scripture of the Old and New Testament as the inerrant inspired word of God. Scripture is the supreme and final authority in faith and life. Scripture is useful to believers for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness. (Mk. 7:8-13; Jn. 5:46; 2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:21)

3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, and in His ascension to the right hand of the Father. (Luke 1:24; Acts 1; 2 Cor. 5:17)

4. We believe that salvation through Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. (John 14:6)

5. We believe that man was created in the image of God, but because of sin, was alienated from God. Only by grace through faith, trusting in Christ alone for salvation, are we reconciled to God. (Romans 3)

6. We believe in the eternal life of the saved and eternal punishment of the lost. (Romans 6:23)

7. We believe the Lord Jesus Christ commanded all believers to make disciples of every nation, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and to teach all that Christ had commanded. (Mt. 28:19-20)

8. We believe Jesus Christ will come again to the earth in power and glory both personally and visibly – to consummate history and the eternal plan of God. (1 Thess. 4:16-17)

9. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (2 Cor. 12:11-12)

10. We avoid any theological beliefs that go beyond the written Word and believe the Bible to be complete. (2 Tim. 3:16)
