Jesus Christ is God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. On earth, Jesus was 100% God and 100% man. He is the only man ever to have lived a sinless life. He We believe in the plenary, verbally inspired Word of God, and that the accepted canon of the Holy Scriptures as originally given is infallible, without error, and containing the complete revelation of God. The Bible is the final authority for all Christian life and matters, including scientific, historical, moral and theological (II Timothy 3:16; I Corinthians 2:13).

We believe in the Eternal Godhead who has revealed Himself as ONE God existing in THREE persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, distinguishable but indivisible (Matthew 28:19; II Corinthians 13:14). 

We believe in the creation, test, and fall of man, as recorded in Genesis, and in man’s total spiritual depravity and inability to attain to divine righteousness (Romans 5:12, 18). 

We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of mankind, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, fully God and fully man, yet without sin (Luke 1:26-35; John 1:18; Isa. 7:14; 9:6). 

We believe Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day, and personally appeared to His disciples after his death and resurrection (I Corinthians 15:1-4; Romans 4:25). 

We believe in the bodily ascension of Jesus to heaven, His exaltation, and His personal, literal and bodily return a second time for the Church (John 14:2-3; I Thessalonians 4:13-18). 

We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace, through repentance and faith in the perfect and sufficient work of Jesus Christ’s sacrificial death on the cross of Calvary, by which we obtain remission of sins (Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 9:12; Romans 5:11). 

We believe in the necessity of water baptism by immersion in the name of the eternal Godhead in order to fulfill the command of Christ (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:36-39; 19:1-6). 

We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a distinct aspect of the Christian foundational experience, subsequent to salvation, with the primary evidence of speaking in tongues, as well as the empowerment to witness, to conquer sin, and to live a holy life (Acts 2:1-4; 8:14-17; 10:44-46; 19:6, Galatians 3:14-15). 

We believe that The Church, which is portrayed in scripture as both the Body and the Bride of Christ, is the last instrument that God is using to extend His Kingdom prior to the second coming of Christ. The Church is made up of a body of believers from all races and nations, culminating in every tongue, tribe and nation being represented before His throne (Matthew 28:19; Ephesians 2:14-18; II Corinthians 5:16-21; Revelation 5:9; 7:9). We believe in the public gathering of the local church for prayer, worship, administering the sacraments, and teaching and preaching of the Bible and that we are not to forsake nor neglect this gathering (Acts 2; I Corinthians 11; Hebrews 10:25).

We believe in the operation of the nine gifts of the Spirit as enumerated in I Corinthians 12-14, manifested in the Early Church and present in the Church today. 

We believe in the Spirit-filled life and that the indwelling of the Holy Spirit upon salvation empowers the believer to lead a life of separation from the world and perfecting of holiness in the fear of God as an expression of Christian faith (Ephesians 5:18; II Corinthians 6:14; 7:1). 

We believe in the healing of the body by divine power or divine healing in its varied aspects as practiced in the Early Church (Acts 4:30; Romans 8:11; I Corinthians 12:9; James 5:14). 

We believe in the Table of the Lord, commonly called Communion or the Lord’s Supper, for all believers to partake of (I Corinthians 11:23-32). 

We believe in eternal life for believers (John 5:24; 3:16) and eternal punishment for unbelievers (Mark 9:43-48; II Thessalonians 1:9; Revelation 20:10-15).

We believe in the reality and personality of Satan and the eternal judgment of Satan and his angels (Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:10-15). 

We believe that every person is subject to the governing authorities of the land and that we must obey the government unless it requires us to act contrary to our faith in the Word of God, at which time we must obey God rather than the state (Matthew 22:15-22; Acts 5:29; Romans 13:1-7; Ephesians 5:22-24; Titus 3:1-2; I Peter 2:13-14).

We believe in the covenantal union of one man and one woman in the holy institution of marriage.  Marriage is used in the Bible as a symbol that describes the relationship between Christ and His bride, the Church.  God has commanded that there be no sexual intimacy or sexual activity outside of the marriage covenant between one man and one woman, thus we believe that the acts of homosexuality, bisexuality, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery, and pornography are sinful and ungodly perversions of the gift of sex God has given to husband and wife in the sanctity of marriage. We also believe that we are created in God’s image, and He has made us male or female. God forbids and disapproves of any attempt to alter one’s gender by medical intervention or appearance (Genesis 1:27; Genesis 2:18-25; Ephesians 5:25; Hebrews 13:4; Revelation 19:7-9); Leviticus 18:22; Deuteronomy 22:5; Ezekiel 22:8-11; Romans 1, 2).

We believe that human life begins at conception and that the unborn child in a mother’s womb is a living human being. Abortion constitutes the unjustified taking of an unborn human life. The Bible is clear that the taking of a life, whether before birth or during life in the form of euthanasia, is murder (Deuteronomy 18:9; Ecclesiastes 5:18; Psalms 139:13; Jeremiah 1:5; Exodus 21:22; Hebrews 13:8).
