We believe the Bible to be the complete Word of God; that the sixty-six books, as originally written, comprising the Old and New Testaments, were inspired by the Spirit of God and were entirely free from error; that the Bible is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice and the true basis of the Christian life.

We believe there’s one God. He made everything. He’s holy, in control, and has always existed. He’s three-in-one: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, equal and united.

We believe Jesus is fully God. He existed with the Father before He ever came to earth. He was born of a virgin, lived a perfect life, died in our place, rose from the dead, returned to heaven in victory, is now standing in the gap for us, and one day He’s coming back.

We believe the Holy Spirit is fully God and personally active in the world today. He helps people see their need for Jesus by showing them what’s wrong, what’s right, and what’s coming. He gives new life, helps us grow more like Jesus, gives us understanding, brings comfort, teaches us, and leads those who trust in Christ.

We believe that Satan exists as an evil personality, the originator of sin, the archenemy of God and man.

We believe that God created men and women in His image. But they chose to sin, and that broke their relationship with God. Because of that, we’re all guilty, spiritually lost, and can’t fix things on our own. Sin brought both physical and spiritual death into the world.

We believe that salvation is a gift from God; it’s all because of His grace and choosing. Jesus willingly died in our place to take the punishment we deserved and to make things right between us and God. We’re made right with God (justified) by putting our faith in what Jesus did through His death and resurrection. Everyone God truly calls will be kept by Him and, in the end, made fully like Jesus.

We believe that Jesus is coming back personally, physically, and in glory. One day, everyone, both the saved and the lost, will be raised from the dead. Those who belong to Jesus will enjoy eternal life with Him, and those who reject Him will face judgment and eternal separation from God.

We believe a church is a group of people who’ve been born again and called by God to live for Jesus, set apart from the ways of the world. They’ve come together willingly to learn and share God’s Word, build each other up, spread the good news, and practice what Jesus taught, like baptism and communion. Each church is independent and led by Jesus Himself, using the gifts and guidance He gives. The leaders of the church are called elders and deacons.

We believe the church has two main practices, based on the New Testament, that should be done regularly and in this order: First, baptism, where a believer is fully dipped in water to follow Jesus’ command and show they’re connected to His death, burial, and resurrection. Second, the Lord’s Supper, a special meal where believers eat bread and drink wine (or juice) to remember Jesus’ body and blood and to proclaim His death until He returns.
