We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are the perfect Word of God. They are authoritative, sufficient, and infallible in the original manuscripts ( 2 Timothy 3:16).

We believe there is one God, eternally revealed in three co-equal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).

We believe in the absolute deity of Jesus Christ as the Son of God; His virgin birth, His sinless humanity; His death on the cross to pay the penalty God has set for our sins; His resurrection from the grave; and His ascension back into Heaven. We believe He sits at the right hand of God, working as our mediator and advocate; He is returning to judge all mankind, the living and the dead, and He will set up His promised eternal kingdom (John 1:14).

We believe that our nature is corrupted, and that we are all sinners separated from God until receiving salvation through Jesus Christ (Romans 3:23).

We believe Heaven is a real place and is the eternal destiny for those who have been made right with God through Jesus Christ (John 14:1-3).

We believe Hell is a real place created for the devil and his demons. All people who die without receiving salvation through Jesus Christ will also be sentenced to hell for eternity (Romans 6:23).

We believe that salvation is a work of God’s free grace and that it is available to us solely by faith. It cannot be earned and is not based on good works (Ephesians 2:8-9).

We believe that way God has chosen to accomplish His purposes is through His Church, the body of Christ, working together in local congregations in every community, but also working globally as one body (1 Corinthians 12:12).

We believe that Jesus Christ commands all believers to proclaim the Gospel. God’s purpose is to bring glory to Himself by drawing men and women to Himself by the preaching of the good news. The fulfillment of the Great Commission requires that all worldly and personal ambitions be subordinate to total commitment to “Him who loved us and gave Himself for us” (Matthew 28:19-20).

We believe that God has designed sexual intimacy to be shared between one man and one woman in the context of marriage (Genesis 2:18-25, 1 Corinthians 6:18 & 7:2-5, Hebrews 13:3).

We believe God has forbidden certain sexual behaviors, including but not limited to sexual gratification of any kind between individuals not married to one another, sexual gratification with an individual outside your marriage, or the use of pornography (Hebrews 13:4). We believe that any form of sexual immorality is sinful and offensive to God (Matthew 15:18-20, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10).

We believe God has forbidden involvement with addiction as well as sexual and social sin, including but not limited to drunkenness, drug use, the above described sexual immorality, slander, and gossip (Romans 13:13).

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

We believe that every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity (Mark 12:28-31, Luke 6:31).

We believe God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as either 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 all human life is sacred and created by God in His image. Human life is of inestimable worth in all its dimensions, including pre-born babies, the aged, the physically or mentally challenged, and every other stage or condition from conception through natural death. We are, therefore, called to defend, protect, and value all human life (Psalm 139).
