What we believe...
The Bible
We believe the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is supernaturally inspired, so that it is inerrant in the original manuscripts and preserved by God in its verbal and plenary inspiration, so that it is a divinely authoritative standard for every age and every life. Matthew 5:18; I Corinthians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21

God
We believe in one God that eternally exists and reveals Himself in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each person has the same nature, attributes and perfections, worthy of the same worship and confidence. Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; John 1:1-2, 14, 10:30, 14:15-17; I Corinthians 8:6; 2 Corinthians 13:14
We believe in God as absolute and sole Creator and Sustainer of the universe, and that creation was by divine command from nothing and not through an evolutionary process. John 1:3, 10; Acts 17:24-25; Genesis 1:1
We believe that God, by His sovereign choice and out of love for men, sent Christ into the world to save sinners. John 3:16; I Timothy 1:15; 1 John 4:14

God the Son
We believe that Jesus Christ was fully God in the flesh and fully man, that He was born of a virgin and that He lived a sinless life, in which He taught and performed mighty works and wonders and signs exactly as revealed in the four gospels. We believe that He was crucified, shed His blood, died to pay the penalty for our sins and was raised bodily from the dead on the third day. Isaiah 7:14, 9:6; Hebrews 1:1-2, 7:25; Luke 1:30-35; Ephesians 4:8; John 1:1-5, 10-14, 14:3; Colossians 2:9; I Corinthians 15:3-4

God the Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is a person and is God, possessing all the divine attributes. He convicts of sin, regenerates, indwells, baptizes and seals all believers at the moment of their salvation, filling them in response to yieldedness with the goal of conforming them to the image of Christ. John 3:5, 16:7-11; Acts 5:3-4; Ephesians 1:13, 4:30, 5:18; I Corinthians 6:19, 12:13.

Man
We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam’s sin the race fell, inherited a sinful nature and became alienated from God. We believe that all men are morally corrupt, and of themselves utterly unable to remedy their lost condition. Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 1:18, 3:23, 5:12; Ephesians 2:1-3, 12

Salvation
We believe salvation is a gift of God and is received by man through personal faith in Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for sin. We believe man is justified by grace through faith apart from works and that all true believers, once saved, are kept secure in Christ forever. Acts 13:38-39; Romans 4:5, 6:23, 8:1, 38-39; John 10:27-29; Ephesians 2:8-9
