The Scriptures
We believe the Bible is the authoritative, inerrant, infallible, and inspired Word of God. It has been given to us by God and contains everything needed for Christian living.
1 Peter 1:24-25
God and Man
We believe there is only one true and living God, who is worthy of man’s complete devotion. As the Creator and Sustainer of all things, God has revealed Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
1 Timothy 2:5-6
Salvation
We believe that the eternal God created a perfect world and placed mankind in it. However, this perfect world was corrupted when man rebelled against God. From that point forward, all of mankind inherits a sinful nature, which severs fellowship with God. We believe that everyone stands in need of redemption to restore fellowship with God and to avoid eternal death in a literal place called Hell. We also believe in a literal place called Heaven, where only those who place their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ will dwell with God for all eternity. There is no salvation found in any other name except the Lord Jesus Christ. Salvation is based on grace alone through faith alone. No amount of human work or merit can earn
a right standing with God.
Romans 3:23-25
The Church
We believe in the Body of Christ, also referred to as the Church. The Church’s head is the Lord Jesus Christ, who has commissioned us to disciple the nations. The Church observes two ordinances: the Lord’s Supper and Baptism. Both ordinances are exclusively for believers and are symbolic in nature.
Acts 2:41-42,47
The End Times
We believe in the ultimate end of all things as described in Scripture. The Lord will return in glory, the dead in Christ will rise, and those who remain will meet them in the air to be with the Lord forever. The righteous will receive their just reward and dwell with God in the new heaven and the new earth. The unrighteous will receive their reward and be separated from God in eternal torment.
Matthew 24:27,30,36,44
