Our Beliefs

I. The Scriptures
“The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God’s revelation of Himself to people. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without error, for its matter. Therefore, all Scripture is totally true and trustworthy.”

II. The Trinity
“There is one, and only one, living and true God. The eternal triune God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature essence, or being.”

A. God the Father
“God as Father reigns with providential care over His Universe, His creatures, and the flow of human history according to the purposes of His grace. God is Father in truth to those who become children of God through faith in Jesus Christ. He is fatherly in His attitude toward all people.”

B. God the Son 
“Christ is the eternal Son of God. In His incarnation as Jesus Christ He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary...He honored the divine law by His personal obedience and in His substitutionary death on the cross He made provision for the redemption of men from sin.”

C. God the Holy Spirit
“The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God... He exalts Christ. He convicts men of sin, righteousness and of judgment...He enlightens and empowers the believer and the church in worship, evangelism, and service.”

IV. Salvation
“Salvation involves the redemption of the whole person, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. In its broadest sense salvation includes regeneration, justification, sanctification, and glorification. There is no salvation apart from personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord.”

VII. Baptism
“Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believers faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Savior, the believer’s death to sin, the burial of the old self, and the resurrection to walk in newness of life in Jesus Christ.”

XVII. The Family
God has ordained the family as the foundational institution of human society. It is composed of persons related to one another by marriage, blood or adoption. Marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime.
